Synopsis

Author Tom Galten, in his work as a psychotherapist and substance abuse counselor, finds that many of his clients suffer from "an acute thirst for spiritual experience." Galten says "this thirst is what some have called a search for God and others have called the Self's search for itself." In the Advaita (non-dual) tradition of such spiritual teachers as Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, Alan Watts, Mooji and many others, Enlightenment is Not an Ego Project is a powerful little book aimed at supporting restive seekers and inspiring us to persevere on the journey. The book has a scholarly quality to it that reinforces and supports its basic premises and purpose.

Galten's own words say it best:

"I am convinced that only a personal realization, and not ideas, will fully satisfy the spiritual seeker. In short, you want to actually feel connection, peace and deep fulfillment. You are searching ... for an experience. So if we can agree from the start that only something "beyond words and ideas" (or, if you prefer, "prior" to words and ideas) can ever fully relieve your discontent and settle your restlessness, we can move on to a discussion which will, in its synergistic relationship with the spiritual energy that you as the reader bring to it, provide illumination and boost your ongoing transformation. ... So look within, not to me or to anyone else. You are in the midst of a genuine transformational process which, now that it has begun, will not stop."

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Transformation of consciousness began in Thomas Galten by way of recovery from alcoholism, a compulsive condition which Tom has since come to regard as a bellwether, as are all compulsions, for deep-level inner shifts. Since the arrival of this new dimension of awareness, Tom has studied a wide variety of religions, psychologies and philosophies, research which has strongly influenced his practice of psychotherapy and teaching, professions for which he is formally trained and which he continues to practice. But it is Tom's own inwardly experienced and ongoing renewal, begun in acute suffering and enriched by his exploration of the mysticism which appears in many settings, guises and disciplines, that continues to fascinate and engage him. It also inspires him to pass on to others, through both the written and spoken word, the esoteric knowledge that has been given to him. Thomas Galten lives in Milwaukee with his wife and daughter.
