No transcendental experience or higher consciousness needs to be achieved. When the recognition of what you are is seen – nothing at all happens. Why would it? You simply find yourself as you already are.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book offers no systems of belief or promises. Instead, it clearly points to something that is ever-present yet usually completely overlooked: the ordinariness and beauty of our true nature. After acknowledging that simple yet profound truth, the search for wholeness will be complete.","brand":"Watkins, an imprint of Watkins Media Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55257219203415,"sku":"9781786781123","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/4569\/5575\/files\/9781786781123.jpg?v=1791144829","url":"https:\/\/somiibooks.com\/products\/the-shadow-that-seeks-the-ray-brooks-9781786781123","provider":"Somiibooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
