If you want to know what life after the end of the spiritual search is really like, then read What's Awakening Really Like? ____________________________________________________________ "While the experience of living as vastness is certainly extraordinary, it is also simply extra ordinary. It is truly a waking up to something supremely basic and absolutely fundamental. This shift is open to everyone, including those who may never desire to don the mantle of spiritual teacher. This book is a wonderful window into just those people, an anthropological account of the Boundless as it wends its way through the nooks and crannies of the everyday. I invite you to read this book and see if it tunes you into the bread crumbs of that which has cleverly been hidden everywhere in plain sight. "Ishtar Howell, Ishaya monk, gardener and meditation teacher, www. ascension-meditation. com "When your journey to spiritual awakening has taken you to a place you don't know, read this book. You are not alone in this. In the book, you will find good company in the open, honest, and sometimes disillusioning reports about what happens when parts or the whole idea of a self falls away. A book that is very needed to give some orientation about what happens on the way to awakening and how to deal with it. "Dr Christiane Michelberger, Finding Awakening, www. findingawakening. com
