Samadhi: Unity of Consciousness and Existence (Existence - Consciousness - Bliss)

Very interesting read

This is the book about consciousness, chakras and enlightenment, I'd been looking for so long. It is detailed and explains to you everything you need to know about why and how to be mindful on every chakra level and how to uplift consciousness. It is not an easy read, although the information contained is definitely priceless. Would recommend to everyone who is interested in learning more about the nature of existence and energy, multidimensional reality, chakra activation and the principles of uplifting the consciousness trough chakras. Highly recommended!

The author strongly associates our consciousness with existence, through ethics and self-awareness. He constantly emphasizes that consciousness is the basis of the very existence itself and that this is our consciousness. Moreover, he connects everything from quantum theory to the development of civilization. Nowhere did I find a better connection between the state of man's consciousness, or the chakras, with the civilization development, so brief and clear. The ultimate conclusion that the whole nature exists with the purpose of enlightening the man makes this book unforgettable and necessary.

I have only given this book 4 stars, not because I disagree with anything, I don't. But because I found it difficult to read at the beginning. it's only because I understand the content that I could follow his writing, otherwise I may have given up. There is a certain amount of repetition but it is such a huge but important subject that I respect him for his mainly excellent achievement.

We live in a semi-awake state, conscious, but nor fully conscious, not fully aware – of anything. We fret over minor things. We suffer from anxiety when most problems are ephemeral and are going to pass whether we worry about them or not. We fear poverty, unemployment, being alone, death. Every waking day we see before us a mountain that we have to climb. We never quite reach the top. We sleep and wake and start again. It is a cycle. Can we break that cycle? What Ivan Antic sets out to do in Samadhi: The Unity of Consciousness and Existence, is show us how by being fully conscious, fully awake, we will see beyond the mountain, beyond the chains of the physical world, and view the sunny terrain of enlightenment. Easier said than done? Absolutely. Ivan Antic is your guide and this compact, well-written book takes you on a journey to Samadhi, that point where consciousness and existence connect. This is not always an easy book to read, but it is a joy that grows as you delve deeper into its well-spring of knowledge.

It's okay. I struggled with it, personally, as I couldn't get into that natural 'book-flow' when reading. Might be good for others.

Meditation has been practised for countless generations and provides the practitioner with the ability to realize a level of consciousness and existence that they would otherwise be unable to discover. In this book, you can explore the connection of both, by reaching Samadhi through meditation which is explained in chapters which include: the nature of existence, the nature of energy, the energetic chakra activation, and much more… The nature of our existence and energy, knowing more about our lives and having a better understanding of our thoughts, actions and whole life experience, is subtly explored as you are helped to discover the true nature of ourselves. If you are willing to open your mind, then Samadhi will reach those parts of your conscious awareness and give you the understanding you seek. ML

It is rare to find such a clear and illuminating description of why we are here; how we can make the ‘journey’ from ignorance to awakening.

Ich bin noch nicht fertig mit dem Buch, die Themen sind aber gut strukturiert für Anfänger. Es stört mich aber massiv, wie unschön das Buch gedruckt wurde. Die Schrift und der Absatzabstand ist riesig groß und damit sehr unangenehm zu lesen, die Seiten sind von einem bis zum anderen Blattrand vollgeschrieben, also um Layout wurde sich hier nicht gekümmert. Dadurch dass die Schrift so riesig ist, bekommt man auch nicht viel Inhalt. In üblicher Schriftgröße hätte das Buch nicht mal die Hälfte von der Seitenanzahl.

Waiting for chapter where I would loose interest and book down , but it never happened and author kept there to end

This book was a quick easy read. It explained a lot to me about some of what I had been experiencing as a deep meditation practitioner and also explains the chakra system. Really good book if you are on a spiritual journey and have gone deep enough into meditation to understand reality vs Maya

I have read thousands of books on Spirituality. In all of them I consider this book as the very best one. I recommend this book to a beginner as well as to an advanced spiritual aspirant.

Incredibke explanations of the unity of conciousness. Likewise the chakras , the ubication and the purpose of each of one. How activate them and make our evolución comes true!!!!!!!
