About the Book

"Every moment is an opportunity, every moment is an invitation from Parabrahman. The opportunity that is being presented is to know the Self... there is no other reason to be here." This book is a collection of timeless teachings from Advaita teacher John Grenafege of San Francisco, CA. The book's chapters are taken directly from his Satsangs, and also include two of his writings. John's message does not differ from that of Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji) or other well-known Sages, but he does present it in his own unique way that keeps the serious spiritual seeker 'looking' in the right direction. In this book, we are clearly reminded that if we wish to awaken in this lifetime, the commitment to knowing the truth has to be the highest. After awakening, which is truly the beginning, if one's attention remains firmly planted in presence, pure consciousness, the I Am will naturally dissolve, evaporate, revealing what is prior to consciousness, in what is called Realization. Each chapter begins with a pointer for reflection and meditation. It is a book that can be picked up and opened at any point for reading and contemplating the message within that chapter. Pointer from the chapter You Don't Have to Suffer "It's a dream of a thing called enlightenment. The more narrow one's focus as believing in a body, in a world, in a someone - the more suffering. What if none of this existed?" In addition to pointers, this book contains a number of black and white photos taken of the beautiful murals and artwork of Erin Tajime Castelan. It is recognized that, as with all spiritual books, this book may make absolutely no sense to some, and yet be the 'key' for another. It is John's wish that it be the key for you. From the back cover: "My deepest wish is for you to realize the Truth of your Being. Know that the search and the one who searches are imaginary. When the mind is still, you are on the threshold. Abide there until The Only reveals and the imaginary evaporates." This is a book to be kept and savoured, for each reading brings a new depth of understanding, even after one has awakened. BOOK CHAPTERS: Dweller on the Threshold All Language is Metaphor The Mystery of This! The Self is Idle and Unitary The Absolute is No The Unreal is Created With Language The I-Thought Belongs to No One The Knower and Known Arise as One, Not Two You Don't Have to Suffer It's a Dream Don't Be Afraid How Does One, Speak to One?
