A most interesting read by Michael Langford. www.mediafire.com/?668732q1cwaraq5NBisH ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In this book there are practice instructions for seven different methods of meditation including: 1. The Awareness Watching Awareness Method. 2. The Abandon Release Method. 3. The Eternal Method. 4. The Infinite Space Method. 5. The Loving All Method. For thousands of years humans have been stuck in the same pool of inward unsolved problems. Thousands of years ago humans had the problems of suffering, sorrow, anger, fear, violence, conning, cheating, lying, death, etc. Today humans have the problems of suffering, sorrow, anger, fear, violence, conning, cheating, lying, death, etc. All of those problems have a single cause. In this book the cause of the lack of progress and the solution that actually works is revealed. There is a secret, a missing link, a vicious circle, that is keeping humans stuck in the same pool of unsolved problems. That secret, that missing link, that vicious circle is revealed in this book. How to break free of that ancient human trap is also revealed in this book. The solutions taught in the past have failed. Not even one in a million humans has been freed from all suffering and been established in absolutely perfect infinite-eternal-awareness-love-bliss by the solutions that have been taught in the past. It is possible to be free of all sorrow and suffering and to experience absolutely perfect infinite eternal joy in this lifetime. It is possible for all humans, not just a few humans. There is a rapid means to infinite bliss. That rapid means is taught in this book. Whatever spiritual path you are on, this book will be a great help. The problem of the ego distorting, distracting and keeping the attention directed outward is a problem shared by all humans, whatever path they are on. The ego's tricks have seldom been looked at in spiritual literature. The ego's tricks are revealed in this book. How to put an end to the ego's tricks is also taught in this book, making this book a unique and immensely valuable contribution. This book is a great help to all humans, including those who are not on a spiritual path, because the most direct and rapid means to end suffering and sorrow and to live in awareness-love-bliss, is of benefit to all. For human consciousness to be transformed something new must be introduced. This book introduces something new into human consciousness. It is rare that a spiritual book goes into detail revealing the tricks the ego uses to avoid liberation. The Most Direct Means to Eternal Bliss is such a rare book. Step-by-step instructions in how to put an end to the ego's tricks are given in this book. This book shows how to directly experience infinite-eternal-awareness-love-bliss in this lifetime. This book contains a detailed description of the difference between the True Self and the imposter self. Detailed instructions in how to directly experience the True Self are given in this book. Of the thousands of spiritual books you could purchase, The Most Direct Means to Eternal Bliss is the best first choice. This is the book that created a spiritual revolution that is continuing to transform all human life. The direct experience of infinite-eternal-life is available to all humans. There is a fork in the road. One road leads to ideas, beliefs, concepts and opinions. The other road leads to Direct Experience. This book shows the difference between these two roads and how to choose the road that leads to eternal-perfect-love-bliss in this lifetime. This book is a new doorway for humanity. On a combination lock that you have been unable to open it is not the numbers on the dial that are new. It is the combination that opens the lock that is new. The more than fifteen hundred sentences in this book reveal the combination that opens the lock. On the other side of the door is eternal Life-Love-Bliss. |

I stumbled upon this book on Amazon a couple of years ago. I've gotten suckered in by such hype a few times, gotten a few books that.......ah....when Carlos Castenada brought his first book to Don Juan to show it to him, Carlos said he could keep it......Don Juan said that he'd better not.......you know what we do with paper down here.....  ..... I was worried this book would only be good for that one thing...... Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try. This book is actually very good.... It's can get a slight bit annoying, however, because it tries to be a programmed text, sort of, to get you to understand to move beyond the words........it keeps bringing you back to awareness.....using words.....if that makes sense  ... But it's especially good if you're new to working with awareness. I can highly recommend it......... sdp |

I grabbed this book online recently and have read it all now (but not quite 3 times). I've been trying to see what people's reaction to it is. I also talk to a lady often who is realized and she says that "The 7 Steps to Awakening", a book of realized teacher's quotes by the same author, is a great book for any seeker. But I've also read some people who have had a few things to say about the "awareness watching awareness method" not being a genuine self-inquiry. I took these criticisms seriously enough to do a little research, and for the most part what I'm finding is a lot of folks who complain about it are being a little bit too touchy about this guy claiming to have a better more clear teaching than Ramana, Nis. et al. I may be judging them harshly, but awareness watching awareness seems to be EXACTLY what Ramana was pointing at.
Also, I saw the need for a book like that for people like me out here in the Biblebelt who are unfamiliar with what specific words and phrases point to. I started off with the "who am I" inquiry and often thought, "hell, that could mean anything!" On top of that, I find several people who were against the AWA method might be said to fall into a certain category of seekers...that is, one who is looking to idolize and attach a lot of mythological overlay to these relatively recent sages, as well as taking a very literal approach to the words and pointers that they gave. I could be very sensative to that kind of stuff coming from a place where there are lots of Biblcal literalists, but it just sort of struck me that way.
In any case, I'm going to give this book a go, and I'm from Central NC also, nice to see some other "tarheel" neighbors on here.

NBisHHey NBisH ......just now saw this. I wrote you on another thread somewhere when I saw you moved to Asheville. Yea, I used to hit Asheville about once a year, but haven't been in a few years. Good luck with the new job. Asheville is great. (I'll bump the other post if I remember where it was). .........But you should be back from your work-shop presently............ |

Then stick with awareness until you lose it..(I could give a time-frame here, but I won't, but don't get discouraged.....the time-frame to consider, is the time it takes to get back to awareness....not how long you're there...).....and then go back to the words. Eventually you can cease using the words....but you will still need reminders to be aware. Why? Ego/personality is very persistent.......... How to continue? You just have to love living through awareness instead of living through ego. Just keep exploring.......... |

There is no rapid and direct means to eternal bliss, only path that is suitable for you.

There is no rapid and direct means to eternal bliss, only path that is suitable for you. Maybe.. maybe not. Going to Church or a Temple once a week for an hour and making a few prayers is not a rapid or direct means.. but one preferred by a majority of people. In any case, back on topic, I've got this book, and it's a good one. Easy to read and direct. Being only words, it's just another way of explaining the practice of direct investigation or inquiry, but still, it definitely hits the target (for some). The title and some of the language is unfortunate, since it will turn off or outrage some people (who can't be bothered reading it or trying the practices). But it is concise and direct. |

..... I was worried this book would only be good for that one thing......
