The Awakening

There comes a moment when the life you have been living is no longer enough to explain what you feel inside.

You question things you once accepted. You begin searching for answers you cannot quite name. Experiences that once seemed ordinary begin to carry a different meaning. Something is calling you inward.

The Awakening is the first book of The Evolution of Consciousness, a five-book series about remembering who you are and how to become it again.

It maps the nine stages of the awakening process: where you are, what is happening, and how to move through it. It explains the difference between awareness and the mind, why awakening so often begins in difficulty, the traps that keep people circling the same place, and what it means to begin living consciously.

This is not a journey of belief. You do not need to accept everything before you begin, understand the language, or consider yourself spiritual. Take what resonates. Question what does not. Observe your own life. Listen within.

Richard Chong III has spent fifteen years moving through the process this book describes. His work draws on direct inner guidance, the yogic teachings of Sri Kaleshwar and the lineage of Dattatreya, and Jesus as a spiritual teacher.

For the one in the middle of it. You are not lost. You are on your way.
