This book presents the most fundamental questions about non-duality commonly asked by spiritual seekers and people new to the teachings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our modern world, so marked by materialism and the disconnection that seems to stem from it, many of us are looking for a higher truth, one that speaks to what connects us rather than divides us. Some of the questions that may initially prompt our spiritual seeking include \u003ci\u003eWho am I? Does God exist? What is the cause of suffering? \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eWhat is enlightenment?\u003c\/i\u003e If you’ve been on a spiritual path for some time, you may find yourself asking questions like \u003ci\u003eHow do I stop my thoughts? What happens when the body dies? Why is there ignorance? \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eDo I have free will?\u003c\/i\u003e No matter where you are in your spiritual search, \u003ci\u003eThe Knowing of Our Own Being \u003c\/i\u003ecan help.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStarting with the introduction, this book places non-duality in its historical and philosophical context, describing both the “inward-facing” and “outward-facing” paths toward understanding and abiding as one’s true nature. The first chapter begins with the most basic question—“What is non-duality?”—while successive chapters gradually broaden and deepen the discussion, always returning to the essential exploration of the nature of consciousness, but addressing even larger and more complex questions, such as “Is Witnessing Awareness Separate from Objects?” “What Is the Purpose of Life?” and “Is World Peace Possible?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith gentle guidance, writing that is accessible and direct, and clear dialogues, \u003ci\u003eThe Knowing of Our Own Being\u003c\/i\u003e will satisfy and stimulate, helping you develop the confidence that can only come with a truly experiential exploration of these eternal questions, regardless of spiritual background.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Harbinger Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50079422218480,"sku":"9781684030125","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781684030125","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
