Insights on awakening

Lizelle Reymond spent five years in a hermitage in northern India. "To Live within" can be described as a system of ideas that have the energy to penetrate through self-deceptions of intellect and through what we take to be "ordinary" life (the illusion...maya...a matrix...a dream) to realize the Real -- a matter of Perception; of Consciousness. Reymond writes of struggles, insights, lessons from life -- about the mystical and methods. Just think of the title -- "To live within" -- the title conveys what is contained in this book. In a world that seems filled with self-help and new age materials of quick-fixes and easy-answers -- this is the Real Deal. This is not a book written to prey on the searching spirits of people who want to be given answers. ... This book is about going on the journey -- "To live within" There are a few books that I find I have to inhabit for quite awhile and return to again and again... this is one of them. Madame Reymond writes: "Seated around Shri Anirvan one day or another were Hindus, Buddhists, Christians, Moslems -- believers and unbelievers -each one carried by his own discipline, his own effort, his own ideal; each one receiving the food he was in need of. We were learning, day after day, how to live within..." AND as one of many examples that I value in this book -- "About your personal discipline, you are following the right course. What you get through intuition can never fail you. The whole attitude can be summed up in a short sentence: 'I know it, I feel it, I am it.' Let the powers work deep within you. The pain that results is that of a new birth. If inclination for inner work lessens, do not worry. Creation starts in darkness. Out of nothing, Shakti comes. Let yourself flow with the stream; do not struggle. Not that you will reach the shore; your destination is to become the ocean itself."
