Seeking Enlightenment... ...continued from page 53

inclusion. After reading about it, I realized that so many people I know are doing this, not realizing the consequences. And meditation, long revered as the path to Enlightenment… well, which list do you guess that it lands on? And how much time do you think is wise to spend each day, pur - suing Enlightenment via dedicated Technique Time? Three hours? One? Would just twenty minutes — no more, no less — surprise you?

Until you find yourself breathing a delectable sweetness, Never-forgettable to your eternal soul. Part Three is where that promise of delectable sweetness meets the truth of our ever-present human reality. It turns out it is surpris- ingly, blessedly easy to pursue Age of Awakening Enlightenment — once you know what to do, and what to avoid. The Personal Program for Spiritual Enlightenment fea- tured in Part Three emphasizes personal choice and individuality without dodging questions like, “But what do I DO? And when do I do it? And how do I know it’s working?” For instance, two extremely useful lists are included: 1. 10 EXCELLENT Choices for Your Technique Time 2. 10 TERRIBLE Choices for Your Technique Time Inclusions might surprise you. Personally, I found “Be Your Own Therapist” a very illuminating

When you look back, you will finally be able to see it: how every single step you’ve taken, joyful or not, has left footprints of gold.
