sorry to burst your bubble but there is no such thing. enlightenment is not as easy as you thing. you cant follow a step by step process. anyone trying to tell you otherwise is selling you something. good luck

This book only has 105+ pages. Why don't you just give it away? Mostly likely, there will be not many people who would buy this book because there are too many books about the same topic in the market already.

Thanks for your replies guys. In regards to the no enlightenment thing, there are clear realisation's that change moment to moment perception. In regards to selling it, i've sold quite a few ebooks, and received really positive feedback. It only costs £1.99 so won't break the bank. The only reason that i'm selling it is to try to recoup the $350 it cost me to produce, as i'm not wealthy. I wrote it because i really believe in its ability to help people, so any support in purchases would be warmly received.

Then why bother to sell it? Why not just create a pdf file for people to download for free? This way you probably will attract more audience. So, you believe the whole universe is nothing more than a dream, then why do you care so much about this little $350 and trying to recoup it? If you can't stay true with what you said, then how can you expect people would believe in you?

I don't believe the universe is a dream. I don't actually believe anything. The fact is, whether this is a dream or not, even in the possible dream, it still requires food for survival, and food costs money.

Is this your essay? reallifeenlightenment.com/general-essays/its-all-a-dream/Probably you can make a better living by working in McDonalds than by selling this book. Whenever I hear someone crying for food, needing to pay bills etc, I always tell them "go work for McDonalds" instead of sitting there whining.

I guess it doesn't really matter, but e-books don't cost anything to produce, and even actual books don't necessarily cost anything. The only expense I had for the poetry book posted about here was the cost of a few images, which is why I'm selling it as cheaply as they'll allow me to.

Hi Enigma. I paid for cover design and professional editing. I decided that if i was going to publish a book i'd do it as professionally as possible. Only time will tell if that was the correct decision financially.
