Book Reviews of Finding Reality: Awakening to Spiritual FreedomBook Review: An eye opener! Summary: 5 Stars
This book opened my eyes a lot and helped me to see, that rather than getting on with the practice of presence, I have been distracted by many various spiritual subjects (what the author calls a spiritual sideshow). The book helped me to let go of much baggage and inspired me to bring my search right back to simple presence and awareness of the now moment. He asks you to let go of authority, belief or path and what he calls 'second hand opinions and beliefs' when reading this book because it is strictly geared towards discovering reality or spiritual awakening within your own personal experience. The author gets very tough at times but is also very funny as he brings you deeply into his world, giving a helpful and detailed autobiographical story about the up's and down's of his own spiritual search and awakening, hiding nothing from the reader.
The overall message is, have you found what you are looking for? If not, do you only want to follow someone else's philosophy for the rest of your life without awakening ever happening for you? It's either philosophy or reality, that's the basic theme of this book. I found it to be inspiring, useful and funny, he's not afraid to say what he has to say, and he certainly doesn't hold back with the points he's trying to make, so there's a chance that it might hit off some spiritual nerves, but if you really do want to awaken and are sick of being led astray by others, then I think this could be the book for you.
Summary of Finding Reality: Awakening to Spiritual FreedomAs an extremely devout spiritual seeker for over ten years, Keith Loy encountered much of what confuses Spiritual awakening. He herein draws deeply from his own life experience as he highlights the beliefs, teachings and distractions which once polluted his awakening to Spiritual Reality. Keith was lucky enough to shake off all the confusion he came across, allowing for his awakening to what he calls, Spiritual Freedom.He says; "If only we could give up searching for the extraordinary, for the wierd, the wonderful and the mysterious. If we would only come to our senses, attentive to the present, uniting our attention with life, just as it is, then we would find much to our surprise, that the mystery we have been seeking for all along - will no longer be a mystery!"Keiths aim for this book, is that the long term spiritual seeker can mark an end to the seeking and a commencement to the finding. For the spiritual seeker who is just beginning; he hopes this book can mark a beginning and an ending!
