This book is written for all those who wish to be free of suffering. It is dedicated to humanity and to all sentient Beings. It is the wish of the author that it help those ready to live in Freedom. It is humbly offered so that it might light the pathway when things may seem most dark.

Your Liberation is worth pursuing; no effort, struggle or despair will stop you and this book will be your guide. You CAN do it and you would not be reading this if you were not already called. Many are called to wake up but only a few believe they can do it. This book will walk with you to the goal.

CONTENTS

This book is primarily written as an instruction manual. It came as a response to the hundreds of questions from students along the lines of I know this mentally but how do I live like this? Over and over again students would have insights and revelations into what they really are. Time and time again a glimpse would be seen that in fact we are not separate people; nor have we ever been. These glimpses came often for many but still there seemed to be little clear instruction on how to dissolve the egoic sense of self. This book is written for that purpose.

Its one thing to see what you are and it is another thing altogether to fully dedicate your life to your total awakening. Few are the ones that have walked all the way to the end of the road and this is due to many factors which we will look into.

What Stops People Awakening?

The first reason most people dont wake up is that they dont have a clear insight into what they actually are. If you are reading this book and have not had a glimpse of what you are, of the Noumenon Itself, its ok. Throughout the course of applying what you read here you will begin to see the Truth of your Being over and over. This book will help those fastest that HAVE seen and have chosen in their hearts to live from this place of Truth. It is intended for those that find it simply impossible to spend one more day as a separate person because it is no longer tolerable.

Regardless of your experience or knowledge in these matters, this book is for you. It will help you begin from wherever you are starting from and move into total Freedom from the mind.

The second reason we do not usually wake up is because we have believed that its too hard, it will cost us too much and that losing our sense of being a person will be a huge sacrifice that we will always regret. We can also fear that we will become some kind of automaton or robot with no ability to think for ourselves upon awakening. This is simply not true and this book will help you see that.

The third reason is because we have had very few contemporary examples of awakened Beings in our lives. We have heard of the great Sages and Avatars that lived long ago and we may see living Teachers here now, around us and on YouTube, but deep down in our mind we believe that Enlightenment is only for the lucky few or those that have a superhuman ability to concentrate. We may also believe that we need to have a living Teacher to talk to or that it is impossible to wake up fully in one lifetime. All these myths pervade the human consciousness and stop us from believing in our own liberation.

It is time to make a new paradigm. One in which many of us wake up and it becomes easier and easier for those that follow us because we have been living examples of Truth and the fact it is possible. Never has it been easier to wake up fully out of your limited sense of self into total Peace. Never has there been more help readily available through books like this or over the internet. Everything is set for you to wake up fully and shine as your True Being, but you must believe it is possible for you, even when others may tell you its not.

You are not being asked to become anything other than you already are. You are only being asked to see clearly and then make a stand for freedom. All you need will come to you to complete the journey and detailed instructions are given in this book to help. Are you ready?

What This Book Will Not Give You

This book will not spend time describing the Enlightened State and what its like to live the Awakened Way. There has already been plenty of description of this and it serves no purpose to write about that here. Each time it is described it is only more mind food that will be taken, conceptualised and used to continue the dream of being a someone alone in time and space. I would like you to find out for yourself what its like. Become what you have seen and live it fully.

The only thing that will be said about what happens when the ego dissolves finally is that it is totally worth it. It is worth spending every spare minute that you have in practice. It is worth every seeming sacrifice (it is later seen that anything you thought you had to give up was actually worthless anyway) and it is worth it every time you might have to muster up courage to go further.

There is nothing in this world that will compare with the Total Realisation of Truth. We are not discounting this world and all the experiences it has to offer but simply asking you to wake up first and be a beneficial source of Light to the world rather than a drain on it.

Why Do We Use the Word Noumenon Rather Than God?

Throughout the book there are many names given to what you are, such as Silence, Stillness, Being, Pure Awareness and many more. These are all names for That which has no name and is in no need of a name. It cannot be described in words yet we must use some label for It so that we may point towards It in this text.

We use the word Noumenon most often because it has very little (if any) previous meaning to most people. The Buddha avoided the use of the word God because for most people this word had so much baggage attached to it and so much programming around it. Spiritual students had very little room to explore what was to be found because they had so many preconceived ideas about God. Todays modern spiritual seeker is very well read and educated and is often used to terms such as True Self, Pure Awareness, God, Enlightenment, Truth or Reality among many others. It therefore serves us to use a name that has very little previous connections for most people AND accurately describes what it refers to (see the chapter titled: What is the Noum enon? ).
