To all my teachers over the years. May the wisdom youve given to me be passed on to others in a way that is truly helpful

I n this book, Jonathan Robinson distills decades from his richly lived life of enlightened exploration. He has created a remarkably accessible and time saving guide for anyone interested in the path to, and through, enlightenment.

Jonathans work spans much of modern culture and has influenced over 100 million people through his thousands of radio and TV appearances, speaking engagements, popular podcast (Awareness Explorers), and New York Times best-selling books. His book, The Experience of God, captured the wisdom of household names such as The Dalai Lama, Mother Teresa, and Deepak Chopra, which brought the attention of Oprah and other thought leaders who invited him on their programs. His podcast continues this theme, interviewing the most relevant luminaries in the enlightenment space today.

I met Jonathan as he was out investigating the intersection of enlightenment and technology at a large conference I was hosting in Silicon Valley. When I met him, little did I know that before long hed become not only a treasured source of insight in this area, but also a dear friend. Jonathan always makes me smile with a special inner light when he comes to mind. If you trust him, and let him into your life, Im sure youll find the same is true for you.

Jonathan is uniquely qualified to write a comprehensive guide like this. His career includes being a researcher, educator, and psychotherapist. Beyond that, awakening has been his personal passion over the course of his amazing life. From living in committed spiritual community with others, to earnestly trying many diverse mystical traditions, Jonathan has been there, and done that on a scale few others could even begin to imagine. Not only has he done the work, but hes also brought his brilliant mind to the process at every step. In this book, he shares with you all of the wisdom hes gleaned over the course of his personal Enlightenment Project.

The advantage of this for you is huge. If you have an interest in this area, hes literally lived the life that you didnt and most likely dont have time for. A highly successful life. And hes now taken time out of that life to consolidate the most important things hes learned into this landmark text. His lived experience is reflected in these pages in the thoughtful wholeness and comprehensiveness that they contain.

Where many authors focus on a single or small number of methods, Jonathan provides a range of them designed to serve any reader. Where other authors provide a giant list of things to try that just confuses readers on where to begin, Jonathan provides an expertly curated set of the most impactful practices that you can start right away to get results. Most importantly, where virtually all other authors just leave you at the starting gate, Jonathan provides a more complete picture. He doesnt just drop you off at the gate. He provides valuable insights about what happens when youre finally able to walk through to the other side.

Jonathan has deeply explored these areas, and he knows you can too. He assumes your success, and he provides you with information youll need when youre walking the path on the other side of the gateas a Finder instead of a seeker.

Heres to your journey! See you on the other side!

Much Love,

Dr. Jeffery A. Martin,
Director, Center for the Study of Non-Symbolic
Consciousness and author of The Finders

I n 2011, author Gretchen Rubin came out with a book called, The Happiness Project. It became #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. The book details her learning project about various Positive Psychology methods and trying them out to see what worked for her. As I read her book, I realized Ive undertaken a similar project to seek enlightenment. That quest led me to interview over 100 spiritual leaders, ranging from The Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra, to the late Mother Teresa, Wayne Dyer, and Ram Dass.
