{"product_id":"beyond-the-separate-self-colin-drake-9780987165503","title":"Beyond the Separate Self","description":"A 'Simple Guide to Awakening' by investigation of one's moment to moment experience, which leads to one becoming 'aware of awareness'. Awakening is becoming fully established in, and identified with, awareness. This book is designed to help its readers go 'beyond the separate self'; that is to free oneself from obsessive thinking and worrying about one's self-image, health, wealth, status, achievements, lack of achievements, past, future and ultimate survival. These are all caused by identifying oneself as an individual object in a universe of multiple objects, and also by comparing oneself with like objects (other people). How we identify ourselves is at the heart of how we view the world and our place in it. If we fail to correctly identify 'what we are' (in essence) then this leads to an unfulfilled life, with its consequent frustrations and mental suffering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Drake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 098716550X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780987165503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Drake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.49d","brand":"Colin Drake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441504923903,"sku":"9780987165503","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44bed4a2-170f-49e4-84b8-049f9f4e7edc.jpg?v=1777191342","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-the-separate-self-colin-drake-9780987165503","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
