Excerpt: In our quest to unravel the mysteries of consciousness, Then I Am Myself the World has emerged as a thought-provoking companion. We found the book’s blend of philosophical depth and practical guidance refreshing, especially its daring challenge to reconcile the "Expanded Self" with the "Tested Wisdom" of traditional teachings. The authors argue compellingly that true awareness lies not in rigid dogma but in the fluidity of experience, inviting us to see consciousness as an ever-evolving landscape rather than a fixed destination. While some may prefer a more prescriptive approach, our exploration of its concepts—like the interplay between mind and reality—left us feeling both inspired and intellectually stimulated. Whether you’re a seasoned meditator or a curious newcomer, this read pushes boundaries in the rarefied domain of consciousness studies.
