Description
“Anyone can do this. Spiritual awakening, in Jack Preston King's view, may be hard work, but it is not complicated work. The path to enlightenment is really rather shockingly simple. Fall out of love with the dream. Reclaim your psychic energy. Wake up to reality.” – Adam Clark, book reviewer, humancafe.com The entire universe, the earth, our own bodies are constructed of nothing but reality, and so, by rights, we ought to experience truth directly and be in touch with reality as it is at all times, as a simple consequence of being real creatures embedded in an objectively real world. But it doesn’t work that way. Instead, if we bother to concern ourselves with such things at all, we must sweat and work and struggle to catch the tiniest glimpse of anything real beyond the self-centered maelstrom of illusion that defines and engulfs our ordinary, daily lives. One big reason this is so is that the vast majority of methods by which we have been taught by society, education, religion, etc. to look at the reality around and within ourselves are surreptitiously designed to obscure truth, rather than to reveal it. We don’t like to think that’s what’s happening, that we’ve been bamboozled, but that’s the truth of it. This fundamental perceptual problem is no accident. The chief goal of The Simplest Path is to clarify the mechanism allowing this core psychic deception to operate with impunity in our lives, and to provide practical tools for breaking its power to control our minds. Life is but a dream – a hypnotic dream from which we must choose to awaken if we wish to achieve true personal freedom, see global transformation occur in our lifetimes, and reclaim our ultimate cosmic destiny as human beings. This book contains keys to awakening. Awakening from our personal dream frees us to fluidly craft our personalities, environments, relationships, careers, etc. as an artist paints a landscape or a sculptor teases form from formless clay. All of us awakening together from the shared dream of the planet will mark the birth of our species out of our current global nightmare of decline into a limitless future literally beyond our present ability to imagine, even in our "wildest dreams," indeed.

Summary
The Simplest Path to Personal and Planetary Awakening: FREE YOUR MIND is a spiritual application of the science of memetics. It reveals the net of illusion we all get trapped in by early childhood. It shows you how that net operates and how to escape it. And it lays out a simple plan for releasing all Humanity from the net of illusion, hopefully in time to stave off major global crises like climate change or World War III…

Excerpt
From: Chapter 1: THE BOXES WE DREAM IN This is not a book about the world's problems. This is a book about the thinking we used when creating the problems we face.It offers powerful keys for unlocking some of the major "boxes" our thinking, as a species, has been trapped within for millennia. Unlocking those boxes and breaking free of the concepts around which we have organized the present state of our world will allow us to return to the consideration of global events with a new mind. From that new perspective, our difficulties will be, if not always less serious, at least consistently different from our current understanding. They won't be the same problems, because we will have changed. Our reality must follow. Because of the transformation of our thinking, we will be free to design and implement creative solutions to the challenges we face that will surprise and delight us. Our global shift from stagnation to inspirationwill transform the world. These keys work equally well for transforming our personal lives. Our daily difficulties, from holding the wrong job (or not having one at all), to fighting with our spouse, to lacking love, to financial worries, spiritual emptiness, physical illness, or any of a million other troubles in between, all share with the global challenges now facing our species a single deep, common root – our beliefs about reality. Whether we are aware of it or not, we experience every moment of our lives within the framework of a complex set of personally-held beliefs about what reality is, how it functions, who's in charge, what is possible within it – for ourselves, of course, then often with a very different set of standards for others – plus a long, long list of accepted limitations, of what is never, ever possiblefor ourselves or anyone around us. These beliefs about reality are so deeply ingrained and all-encompassing that we live within their enveloping embrace much the way we bustle all day long through a thick blanket of air and light and humidity and sound, but call it "empty space," going about our lives largely unaware that we have any set beliefs about reality at all. We think reality actually is the way we have come to define it, that it's the same for everyone, everywhere, and that it would continue to be that way if we, personally, stopped breathing and seeing and sweating and listening tomorrow. We've got the world all figured out, and within the context of how we understand things to be, choosing amongst the limited options that context makes available to us, we build the best lives for ourselves that we can. Some people wind up princes, and some paupers. Some build empires while others destroy them. Some find love while others are lost to loneliness and rejection. Observed outcomes of behavior often contradict our expectations regarding what is "right" or "good" or "fair," as when obviously "bad" people make fortunes bilking folks we consider "good," or when the promised freedom of material prosperity winds up imprisoning us behind steel bars of busyness, overwork and debt. But when faced with such contradictions, we most often hold even faster to our beliefs, rejecting the evidence of our senses and refusing to believe that things really are as they appear. Surely the "bad guy" will get it in the end, or maybe those "good people" aren't so good after all. And, of course, if we just work a little bit harder, it's all bound to pay off in the end… If you take only one thing away from this book, let it be this: Nothing – not one single thing – that you currently believe about reality is true, at least not in any pure sense. Our deeply held beliefs, especially about limitations – our own, other people's, or those binding the larger reality we all participate in – make up the confining walls, floor and lid of the claustrophobic boxes we have been thinking in for most of our lives, the very boxes out of which every problem in our lives has emerged. And, to quote Albert Einstein, we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. We need to unlock our boxes and break free of the concepts around which we have organized our lives to date. We need new minds…
