Pursuing Consciousness | Free Book
The Book of Enlightenment and Transformation
Building on his previous groundbreaking work, Peter Ralston once again
proves to be a sure-footed guide for readers seeking to negotiate the
challenging terrain of personal and spiritual growth. In accessible
language, Ralston demonstrates how the lofty goals of
self-transformation and enlightenment can be achieved with a
no-nonsense approach available to anyone willing to reach beyond
their current experience of self and reality. Pursuing Consciousness is a down-to-earth handbook for staying focused on the
work at hand, even while tackling such unsettling tasks as
investigating deeply ingrained psychological beliefs and identifying
common areas of misunderstanding that hamper transformative
growth.
Ralston explains that deeper levels of consciousness aren't just for monks—anyone can have an enlightenment experience. He shows that enlightenment does not transform the self, and transforming the self does not produce enlightenment. Once we grasp that these two pursuits take place in entirely different domains of consciousness, we can use each to empower the other. Ralston provides specific tools for changing the very person that we experience being. His work has been acclaimed by people from a diverse range of disciplines—including spiritual teachers, psychiatrists, cognitive scientists, physicists, and artists. As with Ralston’s previous works, this book points the way to a direct encounter with the true nature of Being and the possibility of real personal change.

In The Press
“Ralston is unparalleled in his ability to clearly articulate both the
key questions to contemplate, and the life-changing insights one can
gain from doing so. I've learned more from him than any other author.”
