Consciousness Explained East to West

In this groundbreaking merge of philosophy, science and Eastern wisdom, Richard Sha creates a compelling landscape to help us grasp the true nature of reality. In a systematic, step-by-step manner, he walks us from the startling discoveries of quantum physics, to a philosophical revolution, to the heart and soul of the Buddhist Sutras. He shows us that by shifting our attention, perspective and identity to the source of existence, and embracing silence in deep meditation, we can realize the relative and ultimate truth of the universe, mitigating much suffering.

Sha, who has a degree in philosophy and spent decades researching consciousness, considered himself an atheist and materialist for most of his life. But after a decade dedicated to studying Eastern wisdom, Sha went into an ascetic existence for three years, spending countless hours immersed in deep meditation. He now has one foot in divine consciousness and the other in this dream we think is reality, allowing him to navigate and inspire others.

Sha explains how this is the end of materialism, new age, self-help propaganda, and other fantasies about consciousness. He details how waking up to the divine nature we all have access to, will ease suffering, the fear of death, and bring an abundance of higher love into our everyday lives. This book acts as a guide to find our true Self that for too long monotheistic religions have claimed as their own God in some other realm. He explains how consciousness is itself God, not something outside, but within ourselves and then shows us how we are all God.
