Who are you? When you start to explore this question, you find out
how elusive it really is. Are you a physical body? A collection of
experiences and memories? A partner to relationships? Each time you
consider aspects of yourself, you realize that there is much more
to you than any of these can define. In this book, spiritual
teacher Michael Singer explores the question of who we are and
arrives at the conclusion that our identity is to be found in our
consciousness, the fact of our ability to observe ourselves and the
world around us. By tapping into traditions of meditation and
mindfulness, Singer shows how the development of consciousness can
enable us all to dwell in the present moment and let go of painful
thoughts and memories that keep us from achieving happiness and
self-realization. Divided into five parts, the book offers a frank
and friendly discussion of consciousness and how we can develop it.
In part one, he examines the notion of self and the inner dialogue
that all of us live with. Part two examines the experience of
energy as it flows through us and works to show readers how to open
their hearts to the energy of experience that permeates their
lives. Ways to overcome tendencies to close down to the rest of the
world are the subject of part three. Enlightenment and the embrace
of universal consciousness are the subject of part four. And
finally, in part five, Singer returns to daily life and the pursuit
of "unconditional happiness." Throughout, the book maintains a
light and engaging tone, free from heavy dogma and prescriptive
religious references. The easy exercises that figure in each
chapter help readers experience the ideas that Singer presents.
