The longer we remain unaware of what liberates us from the bondage of egocentric behavior the longer we allow what the Buddha called the sorrow of life to hold sway. The sorrow of life – including conflict, anxiety, violence and war – is the sum and consequence of attachments to the world, as conceived of Mind. In this work, JC offers a profoundly enlightened perspective on the nature of Mind, Pure Consciousness, and enlightened Being. He notes that Pure Conscious Awareness is not found in concepts of Mind, but is a knowing that Awakens of its own volition, as attachments to the world, as conceived of Mind, pass away. Integrating discoveries of modern science with teachings of enlightened Beings from cultures around the world, JC sets forth in clear and understandable language the difference between the functioning of Mind, which is conceptual, and the Presence of that which is beyond Mind, which is non-conceptual. He points out that Awakening unto the Reality of Pure Presence is a profound shift of perception away from concepts of Mind unto Pure Awareness, which is Other than concepts of Mind, Other than the illusion of separateness. Awakening unto this Presence is what enlightened Beings have pointed to since ancient times as the essential purpose of humankind. This work is written in such a way as to potentially trigger Awakenings within those who engage it seriously – with open minds and hearts – and thus, become aware of Being Aware.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
