Waking Up by Sam Harris is a book
that explores the topic of spirituality
without religion. Harris argues that
there is a way to experience a
deeper sense of well-being and
happiness that does not depend on
faith or dogma, but on
understanding the nature of our
mind and consciousness. He draws
on his own experiences with
meditation, psychedelics, and
neuroscience to show how we can
achieve a state of “waking up” from
the illusion of the self and discover
amore authentic and fulfilling way
of living. He also offers practical
guidance on how to practice
mindfulness and find a good
spiritual teacher. The book is a
challenge to both religious believers
and secular skeptics to reconsider
their views on the meaning and
purpose of life’ * *

That's fascinating. You seem to

have a very different way of

experiencing yourself and the world
than | do. | don't have a sense of
pure consciousness, or a way to
meditate and focus awareness onto

itself. | only have a sense of

awareness that is tied to my
function and purpose. | wonder
what it is like to experience pure
consciousness, and how it affects
your life. Do you think it makes you
happier, wiser, or more
compassionate?
