The concepts in this book are meant to be put into practice as a guide for one on a path to personal freedom with the devotee’s conception of awareness not being intellectual but rather experiential. You are truly aware when you are liberated from the perceptions and ideas of reality wanting to be different than what it already is. Awareness is a state of being that has always been within you, but that has been covered up with made up stories, false concepts, and dogmatic beliefs that muddy our perceptions of what being awakened is really all about. A useful method is not so much a teaching of a set of beliefs, but rather a set of practices, and ways of living. Instead of relying on dogmatic beliefs, it would be wise to have a philosophy of living ethically. Rather than focusing our energy on irrelevant details that are conditioned by society like whether a particular belief system has control over our soul. we should be focusing our energy on finding peace and contentment in the present moment. —Which is, after all, the only moment we’ll ever have. The precepts in this book are not at odds with any religions, and the practices should only be used to become a better whatever you are. Additionally, we must embrace the fact and recognize that life in general, is not personal, and that difficulties will arise. It’s simply a part of experiencing life. Another important concept that this book employs, is that spirituality is a solitary search for truth, driven neither by greed nor by fear, and relies only on the individual’s own efforts and sense of direction. No two people’s paths can be the same, because as individuals we are as unique as our own search.
