Synopsis

There is a video of a child struggling with terror in the sea. He is crying and his arms are flailing. His face is contorted in fear. It looks, from the perspective of the camera, as though the child is drowning.And then along comes another child who calmly, laughing even, grabs hold of the drowning child's feet and places them on the sea bed. The drowning child is now standing up and the water barely reaches his thighs. He was never in any actual risk. And yet, in the perception of danger, in a mind lost in the belief of drowning, with behaviour responding to perception rather than reality, he could have drowned.This is an apt metaphor for the struggle that is the nature of the human condition. The Struggle takes place when a mind and body create an experience of being that is completely out of alignment with reality.
In The Shift we explore how a mind lost in the fight with its own created reality settles into the profound presence, love and truth that is its sane state. It is the end the of the on-going attempt to secure a fragile sense of self by controlling emotions and experience, turning life into an on-going revelation of the thought-created nature of self and reality and of the unchanging truth of existence that is prior to thought. This is the truth of profound mental health.

كتاب رائع يحتاج للقراءة بتأني والتوقف عند بعض مواضعه بين الحين والآخر، يحمل لفتات مثيرة للاهتمام ونقاط تبعث على الدهشة والتساؤل وتجعلك توافق عليها في حين وتخالف الكاتب في حين آخر مثلا الإغراق في التخلي عن الطموح لا ينسجم مع طبيعة البشر كما وأن التصوف ليس الحل للجميع وفيم عدى القيم السامية والاقتباسا......more

There were parts of this book that I really liked, although much of that seemed recycled from other books I have read in the past. The first two chapters were painful. Full of flowerly, obtuse language, I found myself chuckling and not for the right reasons. He has some excellent points about lettin......more

I actually listened to the audio book and watched the movie :) It is wonderful, I remember after watching the movie I had the most amazing lucid dreams, probably because I let all of my stresses flout away before I drifted on to the world I can create.......more
