The book started with an observation I totally agree with "When you boil us down to our essential nature, we are all simply bundles of awareness". And "We soul search. This is the true journey. The final frontier lies, not in the stars, but within."
The author continues with, "Studying the states of consciousness, the ancient sages of India reasoned that if it was possible to glimpse the superconscious mind through the cracks of the wall of the conscious and subconscious, then there must be a way to slip into it, and that is exactly what they went about doing. They designated processes of yogic meditation to enable practitioners to hack into the superconscious state at will. The yogi seeks to know himself beyond the confines of his limited body consciousness."
"The interior journey is a solo one. The path we travel in the myriad choices we make can never be traced, in whole, by another. Nevertheless, there are road signs along the way, and paths laid out by the traveling souls. We'd be foolish to undertake such an epic journey - our own private final frontier - without looking to those who have gone before us - without looking at a map."
This books is about explores that map according to Patanjali Yoga Sutras "External discipline (yama), internal discipline (niyama), posture (asana), life force control (pranayama), withdrawal of the senses (pratyahara), concentration (charana), meditation (dhyana) and union (samadhi).
The author presents a structure that helps to easy you into a meditative state, at which point you're on your own, which may make you ask yourself "Now what?" He mentions Vigyan Bhairava Tantra at the beginning of this book, but doesn't go into it, though that would be a logical next step to explore.
He does share some of his experiences and several useful tips and practices that can help you to enter into a meditative state. While to me it felt as if the book abruptly ended and was somehow unfinished, I looked back at the subtitle and the book is appropriately named "The PROCES of Yogic Meditation" - and that's exactly what you'll find here. As for "Hacking the Universe" bit, that may leave you wanting for more.
