Dominant cultural narratives about later life dismiss the value senior citizens hold for society. In her cultural-philosophical critique, Hanne Laceulle outlines counter narratives that acknowledge both potentials and vulnerabilities of later life. She draws on the rich philosophical tradition of thought about self-realization and explores the significance of ethical concepts essential to the process of growing old such as autonomy, authenticity and virtue. These counter narratives aim to support older individuals in their search for a meaningful age identity, while they make society recognize its senior members as valued participants and moral agents of their own lives.

The book answers the question what Self-realization is and which stages lie before and beyond. It contributes to the field of such books by focusing on lovebliss and the spiritual energy of the Self (Shakti), rather than simply pure being or the now. It is written solely from experience. Further it contributes by putting the insights of the first two thirds of the book into perspective with new readable translations (from Sanskrit with commentaries) of Yoga-S

The practice of Sōtō Zen is a practice of encounter and realization, an intimate path in which the self and its relationship to all beings are transformed. This poses challenges to anyone who takes it up, challenges that call us to understand the elements that make possible a deep engagement with the practice. Of these elements, trust is central--a well-founded trust in the teachings, in one's capacity to realize them with others, and ultimately in dynamic reality itself. Dōgen states that "To study the Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be authenticated by the myriad things." Studying and forgetting the self is not leaping over the self--it is full engagement with all aspects of our being, bravely looking at how we ourselves, others, and the world interact, and supporting what makes realization possible.

Ed Muzika received his Ph.D. in Psychology during 1987 after having spent 12 years as a Zen monk under six Zen masters, and a two year stint with Baba Muktananda. In 1989 he met his Advaita teachers: Robert Adams, a student of Ramana Maharshi, and Jean Dunn, successor to Nisargadatta; both were highly instrumental for his own awakening. Ed went on to develop his own style of teaching, which is more personal, more about bringing "God," the Self-Transcendent, back into everyday life, loving relationships, and helping all sentient beings through compassionate action. This book is about the practical aspects of attaining Self-Realization, an awakening as to all that YOU are by getting rid of all of the concepts, habits, conventions and conditioning that blind you to the greater YOU. To become the Self that you are you have to become naked and unknowing. Can you walk with me into Nothingness to discover the miracle you really are?
