More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book can be used as an initiation into a new way of seeing, into the recognition that there is another possibility, which simply transforms everything. There is no guarantee that reading this book is going to bring you new insights or take away your problems, but it will take away several conditionings and belief systems so you finally understand that there is no path to follow to find liberation. Nobody can tell you what to do or where to go. You may discover that your true nature is so much more than you always imagined it to be, and that your awareness is not limited to the function of your brain, but that it goes beyond the limitations of your body and mind. From that discovery, a lot of concepts and beliefs are put in perspective which may bring you peace of mind. You may rediscover infinity in the simplicity of everyday life. And when all illusions are taken away, life may become simpler.

Format:Paperback
"Who am I?" is the question that comes up often or atleast once in the life time of every thinking, rational being. This question has been studied and answered by several thinkers over the ages. Is there really a separate entity? Or is the sense of separation/ego an illusion? Advaitins (Non-dualists) maintain that the concept of ego as a distinct entity is an illusion or a trick perpetrated by the ego. Other thinkers have come up with different schools of thought. Jan Kersschot explores this question and the logical follow ups to this question in his earlier book, "Coming Home" and in the present book.
The author doesn't ask for much of believing and accepting. He asks the reader to explore the subject in an objective manner, but at the same time doesn't leave the reader to rediscover the wheel all by him/herself. He provides many insights from other philosophers and thinkers of various ages and lands/religions. He extracts the common ideas and suggests some innovative experiments to the reader to check out these ideas.
The book is certainly thought provoking and will appeal to an intelligent and persistent reader. Persistent because the book is not uniformly easy to read. One may need to read it a little at a time or reread it two or three times before one could say, "Aha! It is now clear!"
There are many books on the subject but Jan's is probably unique in not asking the reader to accept the metaphysical concepts without questioning and experience. A good read and a good attempt to clarify enlightenment.

I think this book will be of interest to anyone who is completely new tothe idea that there is no such thing as 'enlightenment', at least not inthe way we have traditionally thought about it. The author demystifiesenlightenment thoroughly; the style is laid back, with no mysticalreferences or convoluted language. The author does their best to offersimple activities to try and give the reader a real experience of what heis talking about - some of them were interesting, while others weremystifying. If you really feel you are searching, then this may help youto come home to yourself; I cannot say I enjoyed reading it, however and Iwould recommend other authors such as Tony Parsons, Eckhart Tolle or ByronKatie as better examples of this kind of philosophy.
