This is not a book about spiritual growth, self-improvement, or altered states of consciousness. It is about spiritual awakening—leading from the state of ego-sleep to a awakened state beyond ego, as quickly and effectively as it is possible. This journey is not something you can imagine in advance, and enlightenment is not something that is usually sold disguised as it. I don’t want to tell you how to achieve bliss or endless happiness, find
your soulmate, or lay out ten easy steps to quickly make a million dollars. I don’t believe in deceptive advertising or luring spiritual seekers with false promises. Many spiritual seekers already live on a constant diet of useless food—those well-sounding banalities that have very little or no transforming effect, other than dulling the dissatisfaction that is inevitably part of a state of sleep. If you prefer things of that kind, then this book is not for you.
