"This book’s main purpose is not to add new information or beliefs to your mind or to try to convince you of anything, but to bring about a shift in consciousness; that is to say, to awaken. In that sense, this book is not “interesting”. Interesting means you can keep your distance, play around with ideas and concepts in your mind, agree or disagree. This book is about you. It will change your state of consciousness or it will be meaningless. It can only awaken those who are ready. Not everyone is ready yet, but many are, and with each person who awakens, the momentum in the collective consciousness grows, and it becomes easier for others. If you don’t know what awakening means, read on. Only by awakening can you know the true meaning of that word. A glimpse is enough to initiate the awakening process, which is irreversible. For some, that glimpse will come while reading this book. For many others who may not even have realized it, the process has already begun. This book will help them recognize it. For some, it may have begun through loss or suffering; for others, through coming into contact with a spiritual teacher or teaching, through reading The Power of Now or some other spiritually alive and therefore transformational book – or any combination of the above. If the awakening process has begun in you , the reading of this book will accelerate and intensify it.

An essential part of the awakening is the recognition of the unawakened you, the ego as it thinks, speaks and acts, as well as the recognition of the collectively conditioned mental processes that perpetuate the unawakened state. That is why this book shows the main aspects of the ego and how they operate in the individual as well as in the collective. This is important for two related reasons: The first is that unless you know the basic mechanics behind the workings of the ego, you won’t recognize it, and it will trick you into identifying with it again and again. This means it takes you over, an impostor pretending to be you. The second reason is that the act of recognition itself is one of the ways in which awakening happens. When you recognize the unconsciousness in you, that which makes the recognition possible is the arising consciousness, is awakening. You cannot fight against the ego and win, just as you cannot fight against darkness. The light of consciousness is all that is necessary. You are that light."

Well the Eckhart Tolle books are focused more on the spiritual side mixed with accents of LOA.

Abraham says that it's because contrasts are so big in this day and age (the extremes of povery VS abundance, sickness Vs health etc.) and have picked up momentum alongside with increased population (more rockets of desires being launched by many) that it seems that consciousness is evolving faster.

And recommends that we just to be with it - it is natural evolution.

So, Abraham doesn't focus it the way other "spiritual" authors are doing this.

We are eternal, evolving beings. There is no such thing as death. We are either focused in the physical or non physical or both .. it's a natural cycle.

I don't resonate with the Erkhart Tolle work. For me, Abraham is the supreme voice of all that is LOA .. without all these earthly beliefs chucked in. Abraham is a pure vortex of objective vibrations .. channelled so beautifully through Esther.

Very agreed!

Yes, it was funny that the first opportunity of watching a Caroline Myss DVD ended up with the puppy chewing it up before I even saw it! The puppy is connected to source!

"if you ever want to share or chat about your perspectvce of his work I'll be interested."

I'd be delighted, Lori. Are you signed up for the March 3 webinar?
