True Rebellion

The title “True Rebellion” means a real rebellion, a revolution that is supposed to happen with the concept of “I”—our understanding of ourselves, through which we feel separate from surrounding life and act as though we are something isolated from the world. Some even fight against what surrounds us. In the concept of “I,” division is built in from the start—something like a thorn embedded in flesh. This kind of separateness divides life, which in truth is one, into separate beings, thereby producing loneliness, comparison, envy, anger, competition, revenge, and ultimately war. The book talks about certain programs imposed by society—decisive factors in forming the concept of “I”—and that prevent us from looking deeper into ourselves. It explains what stands in the way of gaining more permanent inner clarity. The reader learns about different practices—spiritual therapy, meditation, the question “Who am I?,” love, and the relationship between teacher and student. The book tells about the goal of all this: peace, clarity, and trust—in what we essentially are from the very beginning.
