About this audiobook
The Paradox of Consciousness: How Awareness Shapes and Escapes Reality by Noah Noel attempts to unravel the eternal enigma of being the weird, fragile gap between the world that we know and the consciousness that knows it. The book, with six meditative chapters, is a call to the reader to see beyond thought, identity and perception to the silent origins of all experience.
Noel takes us through the deception of self, unity of observer and observed and infinite stillness that goes beyond all opposites with a voice that is poetic and philosophical at the same time. It is a pilgrimage not of faith, but of vision a lesson that consciousness is the dream and the dreamer is consciousness is the mirror and the reflected.
Different, deep, and very human, this work brings out the final truth in that, awareness is not in search of freedom, it is freedom.
