journey to yourself
Gopalakrishnan TC (mantra-books.com)
We are all on a sacred journey called life. Appreciation of its beauty becomes a natural outcome of the inner quest to live a peaceful life. This book, A Journey Into Ourselves (published by Mantra Books), addresses both the esoteric and practical aspects of our time-honored journey. It comes up with a pensive guide for reflection and self-awareness.
Humans are externalized, caught up in external aspects of life, such as material possessions, prestige, and identification with religion and nation. This brings much misfortune to individuals and ultimately to humanity as a whole. A person who realizes this begins to turn inward. This book will serve as a catalyst for that journey for them.
People rarely understand that the pursuit of happiness is not as important as discovering what a peaceful mind is. If you do that, happiness will come naturally. This book explores a spiritual journey of self-awareness, a journey into oneself, that reveals the root causes of all mental disorders. In other words, it will act as a roadside companion to help the reader transition into a peaceful state of mind.
The theme of this book focuses on how we can embark on a journey into ourselves through quiet self-awareness. Although this book uses some introductory linguistic concepts, readers are encouraged to move on to nonverbal understandings of themselves. Even without practicing any method or technique, the deeper you go into yourself, the more peaceful your mind becomes. In this way, one can easily free himself from conventional thinking and habitual neuroses. The mind can then move into the pristine zones of consciousness shown by enlightened masters in India and other countries.
While this book presents issues that require serious consideration, it also makes the rather unusual point that a casual attitude can also play a healthy role in the movement towards inner being. Legendary figures such as Sherlock Holmes and Tarzan also perform a little dance during this presentation.
This book addresses four key issues: (1) Mindfulness and inner silence, (2) Spirituality beyond organized religion, (3) Afterlife and reincarnation, and (4) Some aspects of peace in everyday life. When you pay attention to these things, your normally noisy mind tends to quiet down, creating a stable foundation for inner peace.
The issues of India’s ancient spiritual philosophy called Sankhya philosophy are brought to bear on understanding ourselves in a cosmological context. It puts us into perspective and makes us feel small in the grand scheme of things. That is what strengthens our inner peace.
Eight independent research methods are discussed in connection with reincarnation to prove the truth behind the phenomenon. Mainly, the claustrophobia of having to do something before this life ends will subside over time. The outlook expands and gives us the opportunity to grow throughout our next lifetime to return to the divine source from which we came. Only such a circular process can be eternal.
This book does not provide any “do’s” or “don’ts” or some methods for the reader to practice, as this may place an undesirable burden on the reader (purely except for practical matters). Here, as you read the lines on the page, a strange nonverbal understanding of life, mind, and death will occur. Contemplating those insights then expands your awareness and brings peace of mind. This way, readers will be able to face life with peace of mind.
Some paranormal experiences make us understand the meaning and purpose of life. Paying attention to them broadens your horizons and brings relief from fear of death and other mental problems. Over the past few decades, certain paranormal phenomena have begun to attract the attention of spiritually minded people, freed from the temptations of traditional belief systems. It’s called a near-death experience (NDE). Friendship and true feelings are two great things in our lives that lead to deep harmony and peaceful living. People who have had a near-death experience realize that it is a natural part of their post-experience psychology. The will to live increases and the fear of death disappears. Empathy reaches high levels. There is an eagerness to gain knowledge of the manifold manifestations of divine energy and intelligence in the blue marble of this planet.
In this book, you will encounter two paranormal phenomena that will free the reader from conventional thinking. Messages from those who have gone through such insane experiences can change our lives towards rational harmony. It’s a shame that most people aren’t looking in that direction at the moment.
One chapter is devoted to physical health. The reason is that one needs such a solid foundation in order to be stable on the inward journey. Three different health levels are shown. These are sometimes called disease levels, general health levels, and super levels. The last one is beyond the average level. We will explain how to move to super level.
Some attention is given to satori (a Japanese term referring to individuals who are drawn into cosmic consciousness). The corresponding Sanskrit word is advaita, meaning non-dualism. Under Satori, the individual experiences the oneness of all creation. By the way, this kind of unity is reported by many near-death experiencers when they talk about the other side.
Comes with 4 appendices. Three of them describe experiences of cosmic consciousness by ordinary individuals, not necessarily sage-like people. In doing so, readers will be able to glimpse the realms of enlightenment to which our inner journey leads us.
In the course of your journey inward, you will discover a kind of strange background stillness. There is something very meaningful about living your daily life from that tranquility. Many arcane paradigms are presented to highlight important aspects of the journey. Personal and planetary changes are considered.
Read this book and enjoy your journey to inner peace.
