How's a girl to resist a title like that?
Just got this new book by David Deida earlier today and already know I'm going to love it. Here's a blurb by Ken Wilber on the back cover:
"Instant Enlightenment - sound ridiculous? It would be, if enlightenment existed in time. But it exists in the present, before time even moves. Instant Enlightenment is a series of pointers to who you are in the timeless now. In other words, David Deida points directly to the present moment in which 'you' and 'God' are simply two names for the same openness in which the entire universe arises, an openness you can feel right now, if you know where to look. And Instant Enlightenment is the place to start."
Here are a couple of samples from the book; first from the chapter entitled 'Bug':
Enlightenment is the capacity to be open and be lived by the love that is already, miraculously, living your life, despite all your current torment and refusal. Instant enlightenment is to offer love now - whatever the circumstance - without waiting for things to get better.
A guided fantasy from the chapter on 'Romance':
Modern physics explains that matter is energy. Even flesh and bones are mostly space, with widely separated particles vibrating as probabilities. So, imagine your favorite fantasy, feeling your body and your lover's as mostly space vibrating: space making love with space, energy dancing with energy, in a meadow of flowers or on a fluffy blanket that is also space vibrating as energy.
More to come...
