Consciousness Is All: Now Life Is Completely New [Paperback]

Peter Francis Dziuban (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 6, 2006

Consciousness Is All is a book on Absolute Reality, sometimes called Infinite Reality. It shows clearly why only Consciousness Itself - also known as the One Self, I Am, Love, Life, the Divine, God, and other terms - is being conscious right here, now. Consciousness is absolutely all there is of all there is. Simply nothing exists outside of, or beyond, Consciousness. As Consciousness is All or One - It thus is not a higher Self, but the only Self. It precludes there being another, lesser consciousness that has to or can become anything. No transformation is necessary or even possible. This shatters the myth of a would-be secondary self struggling to get at-one with a vague "god." Read this book as if It were Consciousness, the One Self, talking to Itself. This is the only "viewpoint" that is valid, true, and actually operating because, truly, the Self is the only One being conscious here, now, so this can be read! Stop and think what a marvelous book it would be if the Self, the One, wrote a book about Itself! What would the One Self say? It couldn't speak of a human struggle of becoming the Self - It could speak only of already being the Self. It wouldn't have to instruct how to get at-one with Itself, because It already is that! All the Self could speak of is Its own Presence - the immediacy of Itself to Itself. It could state only what It already, presently is - Oneness, Wholeness and Perfection. Would that leave you out? Not at all! That Self being conscious here, now, is the only You there is. After You read this book, You will see that now Life is completely new.

About the Author

Peter Francis Dziuban (pronounced Jubin) first became interested in philosophy and Reality while attending the University of Notre Dame. He later investigated various philosophies and spiritual teachings through reading, study and practice. These included general Western philosophy, several Eastern teachings, Science of Mind, Unity, Christian Science, and the Infinite Way - notably the writings and talks of Joel Goldsmith, Lorene McClintock and Herb Fitch. Mr. Dziuban became aware of Absolute Reality through the writings and lectures of Dr. Alfred Aiken in 1985. He continues to work with this material daily. While Consciousness Is All has its foundation in Alfred Aiken's writings and talks, it is a completely new and original work. It was written over a period of several years, and first copyrighted in 1998, although not published until 2005. Mr. Dziuban is nearing completion of a second book, So Be It: How the Nature of Being Answers the Biggest Questions in Science Today. Mr. Dziuban has worked at several positions in corporate America - most of them in the communications field, including eight years as a writer. He currently resides in New York, NY. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Astonishing Book, January 19, 2008

This review is from: Consciousness Is All: Now Life Is Completely New (Paperback)

This is a wholly remarkable book. I was put off just a little by the Introduction, and was afraid I was going to discover something a bit juvenile, or so New Age that I would be unable to take it seriously. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I've read hundreds of spiritual books, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Christian mysticism, A Course in Miracles, I mean a library of material. After decades of reading and meditating and self-inquiry, plus reading and doing a lot of stuff that's shallower and more embarrassing than what I'll confess to here, Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, which I read about 5 1/2 years ago, gave me both fresh insight and tools leading to experiential Truth which helped me, however marginally, to "break out of the dream and into Myself."

Then came Nisargadatta Maharaj, Ramana Maharshi, Ramesh Balsekar, Byron Katie, Ken Wilber, Gangaji, and Adyashanti, among others. All of them proved to be immensely helpful. I'm enormously grateful to them all. This book is in that lofty league, and the author surely is breathing that rare air.

The beauty of this book is that it doesn't write down to you, nor does it lead you in endless intellectual circles. It'll tell you What's What, then spends 300 pages telling you that again and again in many, many brilliant ways. My hat is off to the Real Author; it's a genuinely remarkable achievement.

I'm also grateful to Amazon's suggestive features and the reviewers here. I'd never heard of either this book or this guy. Amazon led me here, and the reviewers pushed me over the edge. I hope I can do that for you.

When you are ready, this book will be astonishing. Until then, it will be gobbledygook. Buy it today. Try to read it. If you get it, so to speak, it'll change your life. If you've already more or less got this thing, but have no teacher, this book will help confirm that you're not crazy and let you fall on over the edge into the warm embrace of Reality.

Ultimately, it's always about Grace. The imaginary Little Me can't do anything to wake itself up, which means to make itself fall apart. Can an image in the mirror shave itself or comb its hair? Can it fail to follow directions from the thing casting the reflection?

If you read this book and don't get it, that's fine. Don't beat yourself up, and don't begin to deny what I've said here. This is Truth. It Is What It Is. Simply put it on the shelf for future reference, with the confidence that there are no mistakes. Pull it down from time and time and revisit it.

This book has the Truth in it. This is You writing to You about You. I could not recommend it any more highly. As of this writing, I've only read the first 60 pages and it's about the best $15 I ever spent. Good luck. Peace to You.

About three years later:

Since I wrote this review, Peter has become an active spiritual teacher and a friend of mine. He gives talks on weeknights in Phoenix and travels about the country as well. He's become a friend of mine, and I assure you that his book is worth your attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars A revolutionary treatise, May 9, 2007

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Consciousness Is All: Now Life Is Completely New (Paperback)

Philosophy student and communications field expert Peter Francis Dziuban presents Consciousness Is All: Now Life Is Completely New, a radical reexamination of the fundamental nature of reality and human consciousness. Though founded in the writings and talks of Dr. Alfred Aiken, Consciousness Is All is unique in its precept that consciousness is the sum total of all there is - that nothing exists outside of or beyond consciousness. Thus consciousness is not a higher Self, but rather the only Self. Consciousness Is All refutes the idea that there is a would-be secondary self seeking reunion with an indeterminate "god", bur rather insists that the One Self is inclusive Wholeness and Perfection, encompassing all. "The fact that the One Consciousness is all the consciousness there is, leaves no lesser consciousness to need a teacher or way-shower. This instant, Consciousness leaves no other to be plodding or plotting; none to need awakening or spiritualizing. One Self leaves no second self to co-operate (meaning operate along with) the One. Consciousness leaves no other to reject, or even accept what It already is." A revolutionary treatise, sure to prove fascinating to anyone involved in the study of metaphysical and spiritual theories.

This review is from: Consciousness Is All: Now Life Is Completely New (Paperback)

If you are looking for an adventure, read this book. At the risk of sounding like so many other reviewers of various books that exclaim "After years of searching for Truth and reading dozens of books, this is THE book.", I do have to say that after years of searching for Truth, for "what it's all about", and reading dozens of books I have found that "Consciousness Is All" is the freshest, clearest and most exciting presentation of Fact, Truth I have experienced. You get the distinct feeling that what you are reading is very different from anything else you have read and that the author is Intellegence, Life, Truth Itself. There is an Aliveness and a call to attention that is stunning. If you are still reading this review, you owe it to yourself to get this book.
