Beyond Illusion: Exploring Perception, Ego, and Meditation on the Path to Truth

David R. Hawkins

Best-selling author and spiritual pioneer Dr. David R. Hawkins offers insights into the illusory nature of existence, and how to realize a state of higher consciousness.

In this new book, derived from Dr. David Hawkins's popular Way to God lecture series, he explores perception and illusion, how the truth becomes distorted, and ultimately, the root of consciousness.

In Part One, Dr. Hawkins explains how the ego functions in society and that the world out there is a projection of what is within us. He confirms that everything is happening on its own, and everything is perfect right now. He also discusses quantum mechanics and how what you hold in mind tends to manifest. In addition, he talks about why people don't change even after hearing spiritual truths and how to alleviate this problem.

In Part Two, Dr. Hawkins discusses the time-honored tradition of meditation, which he informs us is our natural state. Instead of covering the numerous styles of meditation, he delves into the essence of the meditation process itself. He talks about how we can obtain the benefits of meditation without going through formal renunciation. Dr. Hawkins explains two valuable ways of meditating, which he experienced himself. He also tells us of the various ways to transcend the mind to become aware of the presence of God.
