Book Reviews of The Meditator's Atlas: A Roadmap to the Inner World
Book Review: Inspiring meditation guide!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished this book, and wow, it was fabulous. What I liked in this book apart from other books I've read on meditation is the focus on how we can use meditation to see things as they really are, to see impermanence, to see how the mind and consciousness create an illusion of a self, and how to eventually get past that and to enlightenment. This book also addresses the fears we face, the apprehensions we experience as reality is revealed. I found this especially helpful, as I am facing some of those fears myself. Lastly, the author gives wonderful descriptions of how enlightened beings view the world and live out the rest of their lives. This book is small, but it's a must read! I've ordered the author's meditation workbook Journey to the Center, and am looking forward to using it. Though, I don't believe you need the latter. There are several chapters in this book that give really great step by step instruction for insight meditation. This is a book I will reread several times.
Summary of The Meditator's Atlas: A Roadmap to the Inner World
The Meditator?s Atlas truly is a comprehensive and trustworthy "roadmap of the inner world" for anyone who meditates. What makes this book unique is the way Flickstein uses two classic Buddhist texts — the Path of Purification, and the Four Foundations of Mindfulness—to help readers make clear sense out of the new, fascinating, and often challenging states that one may encounter on the long journey to enlightenment. Readers will come away from this book with their own insights clarified and with a helpful sense of what lies ahead. The Meditator?s Atlas will also appeal to "spiritual sightseers" — those who just want to enjoy a guided tour of the compelling inner territory of meditation.
