Voyager: The Art of Pure Awareness
There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the light that shines in your heart. --Chandogya Upanishad
We are voyagers, set on a course to find our unique purpose in life. In our heart lies the key to true peace and happiness. Each of the twenty-five chapters presents a voyage toward our inner, True Self, bringing a deeper and wider perspective along the way. Exploring the shores of human-beingness ever more deeply, we realise Soul is the lighthouse -- the light that guides us safely home. By simply experiencing ourselves without distraction of mind, we see through personal drama to our inner true nature. We are all connected in the still ocean of pure awareness.
It is only the mind which appears as the world and as bondage; there is no world other than the mind. On inquiry, this mind turns out to be nothing more than ripples (thoughts) in the still ocean of pure Awareness. --The Ribhu Gita
Pure awareness is an art that requires practice to quiet the surface of mind and still the moving waters of our emotional seas. Awakening is recognising all world appearances are illuminated from the light that shines in our heart.
We stand at the bow of our ship. The sky is clear, the sea is calm.
This book falls into the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, suggesting the "now" as a self awareness and giving interesting information on how to get to a state of awareness. It reads almost as a poetry book, there are several beautiful quotes from famous motivators/writers/poets etc, and the pictures illustrating the pages are just breathtaking. I read the ebook version, and believe the print version would mostly look like a coffee table book! For those who like self help books, this is a beautiful
Winner of the prestigious Premiers Book Awards in Australia. Books that help quiet the mind and open our hearts, teaching the unity of our universe through mystical storytelling, poetic prose and dazzling illustrations. amazon.com/author/nondualityThis book is somewhat outside the sphere I usually read, so I'm not sure how removed from the target audience I actually am. There was a lot of beautiful imagery, and it was readable, but I think the boat-trip metaphor might have been a bit too thick for me to really grasp what was being conveyed; I'm sure this book will appeal to those in the target demographic.I think one of the things that really prevented me from engaging in the desired exercise was the constant reliance on Columbus and how
Pure Poetry in both prose and images... A syn-esthetic adventure for both Heart and Soul. A magnificent voyage through mind to the illuminating Soul... A learning experience, where silence bears music and the night sky becomes the background for the birth of stars...The pictures, true delight! The colors are superb, the drawings mostly symbolic without ever being weird or "complex" (as in "mind complex") but rather clear and crystalline as gems, always so easy to understand because they are so
I recommend this inspiring book to anyone who is on a journey of self awareness and connectedness. It reminded me of things I had forgotten, introduced me to some new ways to look at things and rounded out some incomplete concepts for me with beautifully imagined metaphors. Filled with great quotes from great minds and I'm not sure if it was intended by the author, but I found some great imagery tools for use in meditation.

Inspired by the Upanishads sacred writings and the poetry of Zen and Taoism, Voyager is an inspirational and transformational work that conveys the ineffable truth of existence -- we are pure awareness at our centre, human in appearance.There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the light that shines in your heart. --Chandogya Upanishad
