The moment that man gains freedom from his mind,
he becomes a living, breathing God!

Table of Contents
Introduction
I am not a theist. Or an atheist. Im not any kind of ist.
Man was not made to belong to a group. Nor is he strictly an individual. For the concept of an individual can only exist when there simultaneously exists the concept of a group.
Is there a God? Isnt there a God? Why are we here? Is there life on other planets? Most people consider such questions to be important. I say that such questions are asked in order to avoid asking the real questions.
There is pain and risk in asking real questions. Intellectualization is risk-free.
In this book, Ive explored and dissected what I believe to be the real questions. Issues that are fundamental to our daily existence. And ones that have the power to transform the life of a human being.
This book is for the True Seeker. This book is for the one who is Sincerely Searching. This book is for the one who has understood that organized religion, self-help, new age, and motivational vehicles are meant for entertainment rather than Transformation.
Atmamun is a path to becoming the God of your own life. It is the path to achieving outright bliss. It is the path to achieving unbridled freedom.
Atmamun is a path which leads to the bliss experienced by the Kings of human civilization: The Himalayan Swamis.
Atmamun is a path which leads to uncompromising freedom in every possible way.
Man cannot be free until he realizes how deeply he is bound. He cannot use his mind until he first breaks free from its control.
Together, we will work through this person you call yourself in order to get to the You that lives behind him.
Together, we will explore the truth behind the ideas and the philosophies that society has filled you with.
In dissecting the major questions about life, the fundamental nature of mind, and in exploring the different roles that human beings assume, you will begin to shed false notions. And drift into the world of Atmamun.
Ive decided to organize this book with a combination of dialogues and commentary. Many of the dialogues come from conversations Ive had with clients.
And I believe in getting straight to the point. I have, thus, kept the chapters short. And I have not kept the reader in suspense. For time is just as precious as the Truth.
What follows is the road to realizing the God that is You.
And the freedom you have searched for for your entire life.
This is the path of Atmamun.
What is Atmamun?
The Sanskrit translation of Atmamun is Mind of the Spirit.
Imagine if you could train yourself to cultivate the Mind Of the Spirit. What would your life experience be like? How would each day feel? What would you think? How would you see things?
What exactly is the mind of the spirit?
Imagine sitting where you are currently sitting, experiencing everything around you. When I say Experiencing everything around you what I mean is that you are not thinking about anything that comes into contact with your five senses.
No matter what sights or sounds you encounter, they do not register as thought, but as experience. You experience them intimately. Without the intermediary known as thought.
As a matter of fact, you have no thoughts whatsoever. You experience everything. You experience it just as it is. Without thinking about it in any way. Just experiencing it. Tasting it. Immersing yourself in it.
Imagine that whatever situation you encounter, your lips produce the wisest words. You are untouched by anger, or any emotion. You act perfectly. And in perfect proportion to whatever the situation requires.
Imagine that you live in a state of peace. A perpetual high. And that this feeling remains unbroken, no matter the nature or gravity of the circumstance.
Is this not the documented experience of the legendary swamis of the Himalayas?
Is this not what it would be like to be a living God?
This is Atmamun.
You have had moments of complete bliss. Infinitesimal moments in which you felt light, peaceful, and completely joyous. They might have occurred completely independent of the circumstance in which you found yourself. Perhaps while driving along a stretch of highway. Or while cooking dinner. Or even in the midst of a conflict.
Such experiences are often discussed in the setting of athletics. Some have described it as The Zone or a Flow State.
The world refers to this state as resulting from a calm mind. But actually this is not the case.
In such otherworldly experiences, it is not that the mind has been calmed or tamed. It is that, for a small fraction of time, the mind has disappeared!
This is the state of No-Mind.
The Japanese call it Mushin. It was referred to in the Tom Cruise movie, The Last Samurai.
No-Mind is the gateway to Atmamun.
Atmamun goes beyond the zone and flow states, particularly as they are understood in modern parlance. Atmamun is actually a process that encompasses a deep and nuanced understanding of the human mind.
Atmamun is a process of transcending the mind altogether.
What the mind really is. What gives rise to it. What excites it. What its patterns are. And how it controls our lives.
And control is the correct word. All of us are controlled by the mind. Although most people in the world do not realize this. They believe that the decisions that they make are the result of their own conscious logic and reasoning. They believe that their personality is an intrinsic part of their fundamental nature. They believe that they are in control of their own lives.
This is an illusion.
Please understand this: Mans greatest dilemma is that he lives in a prison and he believes that he is free.
The man who knows that he lives in a prison will find a way to break free of it. But the one who believes that he is free while being imprisoned will remained imprisoned forever.
Through the exploration of the process of Atmamun, he will begin to set himself free. But before he takes his first step upon this journey, he must first realize that he is indeed imprisoned.
In what way is he imprisoned?
In every way possible.
I will explain.
He believes that he likes one thing and dislikes another. Is this true?
No. For it is his mind that likes one thing and dislikes another. You see, the mind cannot live within a state of like or within a state of dislike. It must have both! This is part of the scaffolding upon which it rests. Indeed, the very fact that a preference exists means that mind is doing the preferring.
The human being is thus imprisoned by his likes and dislikes.
You might ask, What would I do if I had no likes or dislikes?
You would take life as it comes. You would experience it. And because you would not be taking sides, you would enjoy it immensely.
Please understand this: When you have likes and dislikes, you have a desire for one thing and an aversion for another
