There must be more to life than this?? There is & it's here.,
By
This review is from: Waking From Sleep: Why Awakening Experiences Occur and How to Make them Permanent (Paperback)
Every one of us has at some time, or will do before long, thought that there must be more to life than this?! More than working all your life to buy 'things' that inevitably trap us into needing to earn more money; more than spending your whole life achieving 'things' for it all to be taken away at the end of your life. It is no understatement to claim that Steve Taylor's book outlines exactly what the meaning of all life is.
Whether you're already on the path looking for something more, perhaps something spiritual or religious or scientific, this book gives you the answers we are all trying to find. It is the only concise work I have come across that ties in every possible path and discipline that is trying to work out and achieve a more meaningful life. I have read many books on the Buddhist path to enlightenment, the Sharmanistic way of achieving their own version of elightenment, and many many books on Quantum physics that also explain how things work on a subatomic level - basically every discipline is talking about the same thing, that of living in a more awakened state. I cannot rate this book highly enough as quite possibly the most important thing I have ever read, and it has confirmed my feelings about death being a joyful event rather than something to be feared - I only wish he had written it years ago. This book is life-changing and absolutely needs to be read by everyone.

A book to set you free,
By
This review is from: Waking From Sleep: Why Awakening Experiences Occur and How to Make them Permanent (Paperback)
Following on from Steve Taylor' previous books, The Fall and Making Time, this is a logical development, and a deepening on some of themes he touched on before. In my opinion, this is his best book. It has been 13 years in the writing, he states in the introduction, and it has the depth of insight and the kind of condensed clarity which you would expect after such a long period. The book suggests that our normal state of consciousness is a kind of 'sleep' - a state of not being fully in touch with reality, not being fully aware of our surroundings or in touch with ourselves. Steve Taylor suggests that higher states of consciousness - or awakening experiences - are moments when these normal limitations slip away. There are many examples of awakening experiences collected by the author. He analyses the situations when they often occur, such as contact with nature, sport, dancing, listening to music etc, or through fasting and psychedelic drugs. He also suggests that some of the world's indigenous peoples, and even young children, are 'awake' in ways which we are not as adults.
By showing how our normal state is limited, and how we can 'wake up' both through temporary experiences and permanently, this book really changes the way you think about yourself and the world. It makes you realise that there is much more to the human mind than we realise. It's a massively invigorating and stimulating book which deserves a lot of a attention.

GRIPPING, AMAZING AND INSIGHTFULLY BRILLIANT! ONE OF THE BEST SPIRITUAL BOOKS ON THE MARKET,
By Nathan Strange "filmaddict7" (Bedfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Waking From Sleep: Why Awakening Experiences Occur and How to Make them Permanent (Paperback)
This is a book for anyone who is going through positive changes, or for anybody who wants to transform their negative attitude into a positive one. When I read this book I was going through depression and this book helped me pull myself out of it. The author writes about poets and mystics who have also been through what Maslow called Peak Experiences, or spiritual experiences where people are suddenly transformed into a higher state of being. This book definately explains what people like Walt Whitman and Wordsword went through and what inspired them to write such flowering poetry. This book will make you think of intense and positive experiences which will inspire you to get in touch with your higher consciousness.
What I like about this book is that it gave examples and the author speaks from experience as well, so he is not just a researcher but has actually gone through his own kundalini awakening. This is for anybody who enjoys reading spiritual literature like 'The Power of Now', 'A New Earth' or any of the Hayhouse books. Don't think about it, get this book you will truly love it.
