Am I what my ego and mind tell me I am? Or am I consciousness itself?\" This collection of essays explores how the sense of self is created by thought patterns, memory, and beliefs. Jan Frazier gently shows how the ego uses the mind to keep this self seeming real and worthy of the enormous attention it receives. She offers helpful guidance about how to relate to mental activity so that painful thoughts no longer imprison. The compelling reality of the self thus begins to soften, making it possible to sense the larger reality within every person. The profound peace that is universally longed for is innate to our humanity. It's only because the mind-made self seems to be what we are that this sense of well-being is not realized, not experienced in moment-to-moment life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51377590370527,"sku":"9781456629458","price":21.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/muoM2NxsTG9781456629458.webp?v=1789236134"},{"product_id":"love-incarnate-twenty-years-after-awakening-paperback","title":"Love Incarnate: Twenty Years After Awakening - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn her latest book, Jan Frazier portrays her state of consciousness 20 years following her spiritual awakening in 2003. She tells of the loss that occurred three years prior and the profound grief it caused. The heart ultimately came to define Jan's daily experience, overwhelming every other consideration. So potent was this love that for an interval she believed she had entered dementia. Love Incarnate: Twenty Years After Awakening [italic] shows what life has been like for Jan Frazier in recent times. The reader gets an intimate acquaintance with her ordinary days, revealing both her genuine humanness and what it means to be fully awake: for although Jan cherishes her life, she is blessedly free of attachment to any of it. And so it becomes possible to imagine the same thing occurring for any of us who long to stop suffering, who ache to be released from the mind's torment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"You will feel the authenticity behind what Jan says.
