News just in….Adyashanti’s book, The End of Your World: Uncensored Straight Talk on the Nature of Enlightenment, is #1 on the New Consciousness Review Best Seller List for March 2009 based on sales at independent holistic bookstores nationwide.
This is the list’s first month of reporting, compiled from data reported to New Consciousness by independent holistic bookstores (such as Banyen Books, East West Bookstore, and many others we know and love). See the list at New Consciousness Review’s website.
Here’s a peek at what Adyashanti says in this book:
“With awakening there also comes a total reorganization of the way we perceive life—or at least the beginning of a reorganization. This is because awakening itself, while beautiful and amazing, often brings with it a sense of disorientation. Even though you as the One have awakened, there is still your whole human structure—your body, your mind, and your personality. Awakening can often be experienced as very disorienting to this human structure.
“So it is the process that happens after awakening that I want to explore. As I’ve said, for a very few people, the moment of awakening will be complete. It will be final in a certain sense, and there will be no need for a continuing process…
“I’m very happy that this book, which is based on a series of talks I’ve given, offers me the opportunity to address this subject—the question of what happens after awakening. The information that exists on life after awakening is not usually made public. It’s most often shared only between spiritual teachers and their students. The problem with that approach is that, as I’ve said, a lot of people are now having these moments of awakening, and there is very little coherent teaching available for them. In that sense, this book is meant to be a welcoming to that new world, that new state of oneness.”
