About this listen

Awakening is something to experience here and now by way of specific efforts and not a future prospect, an indeterminate hope at an indefinite distance in time. In this book, Edward Salim Michael teaches the decisive importance of a different perception of time, in order to reach another state of being and consciousness, by way of which one can be free from the law of the chain of cause and effect. He casts a penetrating gaze on the various aspects of reincarnation, as well as on the Bodhisattva vow. He shows the power of predominant states in the process of recurrence, in this life or another life, and he explains the close relationship that exists between the phenomenon of nocturnal dreams and the after-death state. All these teachings are the fruits of assiduous concentration practice and mindfulness over more than fifty years. Beyond dogma, Edward Salim Michael shares his experiences and the understandings he has drawn from them. He unveils the spiritual heights that may be attained if one makes the appropriate efforts.Born in England, Edward Salim Michael (1921–2006) spent his youth in various Eastern countries, and he also lived in India, his grandmother’s country, for a long time. Having understood the tragedy of what he called a “waking sleep,” in which humanity is plunged without knowing it, he subsequently struggled, with intensity, to deepen and hold himself within another state of consciousness, which is the ultimate aim of a quest and which might be called one’s Buddha-Nature or, equally, the Infinite within oneself.His teaching is close to Buddhism, but, as all his writings have come out of direct spiritual experiences, he readily uses quotations from The Bhagavad Gita, the Gospels, or from Christian or Sufi mystics to illustrate his words.He is the author of The Law of Attention: Nada Yoga and the Way of Inner Vigilance, now a seminal classic.
