How to Attain Enlightenment by James Swartz

How to Attain Enlightenment by James Swartz

This complete guide to enlightenment presents the wisdom of the ancient science of self-inquiry, a time-tested means for achieving spiritual freedom. The author convincingly refutes the popular view that enlightenment is a unique state of consciousness and debunks a host of other myths. In his straightforward style he reveals proven methods for purifying the mind, and takes the reader from the beginning to the end of the spiritual path, patiently unfolding the logic of self-inquiry.

James Swartz grew up in Montana and went to Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin, and the University of California, Berkeley, before settling into the business sector. He was a successful businessman, but in 1967 he had a big epiphany that led him to abandon that career path. Instead, he embarked on a spiritual quest to India in search of the road to enlightenment. It was here that he learned of Swami Chinmayananda, a great Indian sage whose wisdom and teachings proved to be the key to James' liberation. Now that he is a disciple of the sage, James travels extensively throughout America, Europe, and India to give Vedanta, or self-inquiry, seminars.

With his website, www.shiningworld.com, he gives materials for comprehending non-duality. Meditation: An Investigation into the Self (1998) and The Mystery Beyond the Trinity (1998) are two non-fiction books that James self-published earlier.
