About this book

Summary

The world in which we live is filled with innumerable distractions. Driven by our inherent thirst for happiness, we plunge headlong into all these distraction hoping somehow to emerge with a sense of contentment that never seems to last. We are trapped in a recurring cycle of desire/action/impression that cycles unceasingly on and on as we try to content ourselves with these worldly delights without ever finding a lasting peace. Certain Eastern philosophies describe a special kind of contentment that can only be reached with the regular and prolonged practice of correct meditative techniques. They consider the human conscious experience to be an on-going journey of self-discovery to very specifically achieve a state of enlightenment by discovering a special Universal Truth. This book exposes a reality perspective that sets the stage for the further discovery of this Universal Truth that can actually set someone free.

About the Author

Sam Hopper

Sam Hopper is a strange combination of a material scientist and an obsessive compulsion to practice meditation and study ancient spiritual texts. After 50 years of this strange homegrown enlightenment brew, he has formed his very own opinions about both of these things, and he does not hesitate to share those opinions. His tremendous respect for science has of late become tarnished as he has watched the integrity of science be compromised by its relentless pursuit of return on investments and its complete inability to characterize our own experience of consciousness.View all Audiobooks by Sam Hopper
