Life is surprising- it's a bit like traveling through a deep, impenetrable forest where you can hardly see in front of your nose. Then, as you come round a bend, you suddenly see a mesmerizing landscape spread out before you. What's really interesting though, is that to see this vision you have to have first navigated through the dark forest with its never-ending series of twists and turns. I'm now at a point in my life where I've just gone round a particularly sharp bend and the forest has suddenly opened up into this incredible space which seems to go on forever. And I'm struck by how impossible it would have been for me to even imagine what it could be like. It feels like the endless, luminous space is saturated with the beauty of the Universe, and I can feel the clean air of freedom filling my lungs. I'm still at the bend, absorbing it all. I'm transfixed as I contemplate the mesmerizing landscape. This short book is the result of that first moment of awe. It's about wanting to share the meaning of a journey that has brought me to this point, and to try to shed light on the elusive yet incredibly simple explanation for this wonderful discovery. As with all my books, I sincerely hope that this one is able to transmit this unearthed treasure to others - to confirm that such intense clarity does exist, and that it fills your heart with an intense sense of freedom. The boost I wish to offer to your personal development goes beyond the intellectual. Its main goal is to enable release from suffering, because pain dissolves when it is understood deeply. May those joining me on this journey feel inspired and encouraged, and may it help all men and women feel the liberation of understanding blossom inside them.
