About this audiobook

The book is essentially a treatise on the importance of meditation as a 'pathway to divinity'. Whatever we meditate upon, Allen explains, we become. If you meditate upon ' that which is selfish and debasing, you will ultimately become selfish and debased'. Whereas if you meditate upon ' that which is pure and unselfish you will surely become pure and unselfish'.

Ratings and reviews

A beautiful meditation about truth vs. the self. Allen discusses 5 things to consider during meditation which I write below in order to remember. 1. Love - even your enemies 2. Pity - compassion for all human beings in suffering 3. Joy - rejoice and share in the joy of those in the world experiencing it 4. Impurity - how those little things about the "self" and the need to immediate pleasure stop us from the truth 5. Sereniity - bring yourself above love & hate, tyranny and oppression, above everything toward truth A very accessible, beautiful dreamy peace on exploring truth in the philosophical sense.
