Being Consciousness Bliss: A Seeker's Guide

Many people are looking for a deeper and richer spiritual life. They sense that there is more to their existence than the surface of life seems to offer, but they are confused and uncertain about where to look and how to begin.

Being Consciousness Bliss is a rich, profound, and eminently accessible compendium of wisdom that will help orient people toward a more fruitful spiritual search. Drawing on a dazzling array of sources, including the insights of G.I. Gurdjieff and P.D. Ouspensky as well as the spiritual traditions of the East, it gives a clear and compelling account of the true inner structure of the human being and how it may be developed to its full potential.

Part One discusses the current human condition - the "sleep" of ordinary life - and how a person may begin to wake up from it.

Part Two offers a feast of excerpts from the Perennial Philosophy - the great wisdom tradition that underlies all cultures and religions - to feed and nurture the growth of the soul.

Part Three provides simple ways to put these insights into practice in daily life. Clear, sensible, and erudite, Being Consciousness Bliss is a resource, suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners, to be used and treasured for many years.
