No transcendental experience or higher consciousness needs to be achieved. When the recognition of what you are is seen &#150; nothing at all happens. Why would it? You simply find yourself as you already are.&#148;</i><br></i><br>This book offers no systems of belief or promises. Instead it clearly points to something that is ever-present yet usually completely overlooked: the ordinariness and beauty of our true nature. After acknowledging that simple yet profound truth the search for wholeness will be complete.
