Adyashanti “The Path of Liberation.” This is not a book about spiritual growth, self-improvement, or altered states of consciousness. It is about a spiritual awakening that leads from the sleep of the ego to a awakened state beyond the ego, as fast and effectively as is possible. This journey isn’t something you can imagine in advance, and awakening is not something often sold disguised as it is. I don’t want to tell you how to reach bliss or endless happiness, find
a soul mate, or lay out ten easy steps to quickly make a million dollars. I don’t believe in dishonest advertising or luring spiritual seekers with false promises. Many spiritual seekers already live on a steady diet of useless food—these well-sounding banalities that have very little or no transforming effect, except to dull the dissatisfaction that is surely present in the state of sleep. If you prefer this kind of thing, this book isn’t for you.
