It takes a somewhat scientific, step by step approach to it. It contains a number of exercises, and basically, different levels of awareness that are obtained after mastering each exercise.

The exercises, according to Wolinsky, are designed to give a person an actual experience of this state, rather than thinking about it.

There isn't as much "spiritual" teachings in it, more like a step by step guide book approach to it.

It also has a laid back approach to it as well. In it, Wolinsky says you can pick the exercises you'd like to try and skip over the ones you're not interested in.

Wolinsky himself claims to experience this state himself frequently, and he's supposed to be student of a Nisargadatta Maharaj, a guru who supposedly taught about that state.

Other than that, I don't know if it's real or not, but I find the scientific step by step style interesting.


Take care..

Wolinsky Rocks! I watched the "I am that I Am" DVD set he created which details Nisargadatta Maharaj's teachings. Great Stuff! I'll have to check out this book.

thanks
