chapter summaries

Your true self? Your true self is the same true self who resides at the heart of All that surrounds you. The real scarcely recognized secret… We are different expressions of the same identity. Everything emerges from a single source. The appearance of diversity is not evidence of life’s multiplicity; it is evidence of the One Life’s infiniteness. We are all charged with roles to play in life, characters whom we portray, personas which we craft and put on like airs. This is not your real self. Your absolute truest self is a communal identity. To realize this truth marks a spiritual graduation of sorts. This realization gives way to one’s first real glimpse at the grandness that awaits your conscious awareness. Your divine inheritance is the realization of your true identity, your true self. The ideas conveyed in this material are intended to stir such a reflection in you as to hopefully inspire your own personal glimpse of the grandness of Reality, the grandness of your Real Self. Sample the book, read the chapter by chapter outline that follows and gauge how well the ideas presented resonate with you.

Chapter 7: Beyond Reason: The Abandonment of Justification

SUMMARY: The only way to realize the Truth of your greatness is to abandon reason. The essence of your true identity is Life Itself. And Life is too immense to fit within the confines of reason for Life has no cause. Life, Itself, is The Cause. Life is its own value. Therefore, any Life affirming question which asks why must be its own answer. For example, why am I beautiful? Answer: Because I Am. No reason or no rationale to follow. Because Life is omnipresent, all qualities attributable to Life (such as beauty) must be omnipresent as well. To follow up the answer of any Life affirming question with a justification, serves to limit (and thus distort) rather than reflect the Truth of Life.

Chapter 8: Knowing, Meditation and the Realization of Self

SUMMARY: In one context to realize means to be aware of: to know, as in he realized he was an excellent cook. In another context realize means to make happen: to accomplish, as in he realized his dream of becoming a chef. These two meanings are inter-reliant for only what you are aware of can you, and do you, actually make happen. Knowing always foreshadows accomplishment. Knowing is the foundation of all joy, satisfaction, accomplishment and clarity. While doubt (which arises out of spiritual misunderstanding) is the culprit behind all frustration, discontent, failure and confusion. Knowing is of the Spirit. Understanding is of the soul. Understanding is an unfolding faculty, while knowing simply Is and does not change. Therefore, (as Spirit) You always know, though you (as a Soul) may not always appreciate the things of your knowing. Realization is having a clear understanding of your knowing. And with this realization, you acquire greater command of Life energy. Mediation is one method of expediting realization.

Chapter 9: Effortlessness

SUMMARY: Effort is the concentration of energy. Energy, being inherently free, can only be concentrated if, due to resistance, it is restricted. On the mental plane, it is ignorance of (Spiritual) Truth which creates this resistance. Resistance is responsible for all manner of sin and evil. But resistance and evil are things of appearance, not actually Reality. Effort fosters delusions. Effortlessness gives way to true Awareness. You can only become aware of who your really are (as Spirit) when you stop trying to be… and just Be. Effort is the state of thinking; while effortlessness is the state of Being. When you are truly being who you really are, there is no exertion of effort. You don’t have to think because you Know. You don’t have to try because you Are. This is being Real. This is being free. This is being in Truth. Truth is not that which is weighty and confining. Truth is that which is weightless and liberating. Truth is utterly simple and effortless. It is lies which are complex.
