Review
Judith Blackstone's The Enlightenment Process carves a clear path through the confusing nature of human life, cutting away the underbrush of our own misconceptions about and resistance to the practice of awakening. I recommend it to anyone—newcomers to the path of meditation and consciousness work, and those who have been studying for years. What a gem of a book, written by one of those rare authors who writes beautifully, from the core of her own experience, and in service of the reader's most noble self.

Judith Blackstone's book is an important contribution to the field of "applied spirituality," shedding light on human possibilities, clarifying many areas that are often confused, and offering practical exercises to explore the nature of consciousness and the human soul. I find that there is much in this book that corresponds with my own experience on the Sufi path.

This new revised and expanded version of
The Enlightenment Process describes the process of enlightenment as the gradual realization of our most subtle dimension of being as unified, all-pervasive consciousness. It also explains how we uncover our authentic selfhood and embodiment at the same time as we arrive at our spiritual oneness with other people, the world, and the cosmos.
