Jesus your video portrayal of Norquist's book is fantastic. I had a strong emotional reaction to Norquist's essay but I ordered the book after I've calmed down. I have a friend who's also enlightened and he's guiding me. Not easy though, trying to balance living in this world and working on removing the layers or untruth at the same time.
I think it's more about removing the obstacles to enlightenment not actually using these things as tools to achieve it. I think perfection is already there, we just need to strip away the veiling layers that hide it. And sex, whether we mean it to or not layers us relentlessly and binds us to energies we could do without.
His essay on sex and enlightenment seems too black and white for me. It isn't just a question of whether sex or it's abstinence is the correct path to enlightenment but also about how the that sexual energy that emanates from the whole soul group can affect an individual and so should also be taken into consideration when choosing either path. Those who come into contact with heavy, negative sexual energy chords...like me.. are better served abstaining. This helps clear the path for clarity.
I used to be impressed, but then I did some more research on the actual matters of Life as the 'whole' of 'existence' as 'us' 'here'. There is no such thing as 'enlightenment'. To even consider the idea of 'enlightenment' reeks of deception and seperation. We are to move 'ourselves' as 'self' in 'Equality' & 'Oneness' in what is best for ALL, with practical 'solutions' that works for ALL as One as Equals. The surface and the core is essentially the same. We need to focus on the physical 'here'.
Hello EvoinOZ, glad you liked the video and found impressive Steven's essay. I agree: that essay is one of the very best texts about what really is Enlightenment that one cand find out there. Regarding the audiobook version of Haunted: yes, Steve and I are thinking about it seriously, but the project is still in its early stages of development, but be sure we will make it. Stay tuned. Best, Jesús
Please please make an audiobook version i drive a lot and 'read' so many great books on motorways .......pleaassseee :) the universe says yyeess !! :))
So we're not talking about a book that is out to convert or sell millions of copies. That in itself perked my interest and honestly, it shook me up. How do I know the words are true? How can one ever know, unless something innate within us is ripe to hear it. No book is definite, since words can only be pointers to our own truth.
also, very mature with the negative comment points, guys. I love it when a comment gets rated negative because the rater does not agree with the poster's comments. I think its a very serious question to ask why Norquist somehow miraculously knows all of the answers to the universe
First of all, who ever said that Norquist knows all the answers for you or anybody?
This is each person's individual journey! You can reject or accept what Norquist says, because either way, it doesn't matter! Have a cup of tea. There are no miracles.
Hey, look, I am not trying to be hostile here, but according to this video, and the description on Amazon, this is the definitive guide to understanding reality. I am sorry if I come off as ignorant I am just restating things
I don't think your hostile at all. Your just trying to have a valid discussion. The video and book may come across as definite, but then again, so much out there attempts to do that. To each person, it's a subjective decision if this deserves your attention. I doubt this will appeal to many, simply because it's not afraid to say things that will scare most people off.
" There are no miracles" ...depends on one's interpretation of 'miracles' ,existance itself [as opposed to no universe at all] seems to many to be a genuine miracle,not neccesarily religious miracle but natural miracle, ...... IMHO :)
@d2eux Norquist is just another deceiver. It's clear to me that he understands the nature of the 'whole', the nature of 'Oneness'. Realizing the 'wholeness' of existence as-it-is. But, really such knowledge is useless. He has still not come up with any 'practical' solutions to this world in its current existence and he will most likely use very impressive excuses as to why he does not have to take self-responsibility, for existence as-it-is in this world. This is pure self-interest nothing else.
The book speaks for itself. In these pages the reader is taken on a journey that clearly reveals that there is nothing to attain. What is shown is our misconception of our true identity and what enlightenment is not.

But what Steven and those fools before him did not realize was that the search for the Truth inevitably leads to that area of the map marked: "Here be Dragons." And like those before him - who dared journey off the map into unknown lands and by daring and privation finally confronted the Dragon and heard the Truth whispered in fire - he never returned.

Steven Norquist was an average person, living his life, making the best of what was offered. He laughed and played and cried and hoped. Average. But as sometimes happens with some people, he was not satisfied with all that. He, like other fools before him, got an inkling to know what was really going on. And, like other fools before him, he took up the quest, the hunt for the Grail, the search for the Truth.
I dont feel like paying $27, what is the "Haunted" reading experience? Are you "enlightened now?" BTW norquist sure does have a convincing bio on amazon
It's amazing how people can make a profit selling nothing.

Read this book last night in one sitting.
It really draws in and doesn't let go of you...definitely worth the price of admission.

Hi Jesusolmo, nice vid.
I was quite impressed by Steven's essay on enlightenment a number of years ago.
Tell me, does Steven intend to bring this out as an audiobook?
cheers.

yea, but anyone can give his/her version of what it means to be enlightened. What makes Norquist's claims true?
