WHAT YOU SEEK
IS SEEKING YOU
You picked up this book for a reason. Whether you’re looking for personal
transformation, success, peace, joy, or love, you are a seeker of truth. You
may not label yourself as such, but nevertheless something inside of you
searches unceasingly. And while that search can seem endless at times, take
hope, because this is not a one-way quest. For as the great Sufi poet, Rumi, so
wisely said, “What you seek is seeking you.”
This profound truth will become clearer as you read through this book.
Questions that you might have always had, which perhaps you thought would
always go unanswered, will be answered. A breathtaking reality, which you
might have always hoped could be real, will reveal itself. And every pain and
struggle you’ve ever endured will suddenly start to make sense, as you
understand the deeper purpose behind our existence and why we’re here.
Each of us feels lost and confused at times. We might think we have it all
figured out, and then something comes along and turns our world upside
down. Yet even when life is seemingly right side up, we often feel something
is missing: An internal nagging feeling, telling us that even when we’re at our
happiest, we’re not complete. It’s not always so subtle either, sometimes
feeling like a gaping void. And we try to fill it in any way we can—money,
success, relationships, and so on in an attempt to feel complete—but it’s a
bottomless pit. So we stay hungry.
Many of us feel a strong sense of disconnection too. And, ironically, the
more connected we become with the help of technology and social media, the
more disconnected we often feel—from others, our life, and our very selves.
The world echoes this disconnection, as all the poverty, violence, and
destruction can feel overwhelming and leave us wondering what’s the point
of it all. It can seem like no matter what we do, we’ll never be truly happy
and find what we’re looking for on this strange journey called life.
But our seeking is not futile. And when we’re truly ready, we find what
we’ve always been looking for. I have been on a 15-year journey of self-
discovery, and even though the path has been anything but easy, the
proverbial light at the end of the tunnel does exist. Even though I had to push
and struggle, and felt utterly hopeless at times, looking back I can see that
what I was looking for was not only there all along, but silently guiding me
each step of the way. I realized that the void inside can’t be filled; not
because it’s too vast, but because it’s an illusion. It’s not really there. And if
you open your heart and mind and come with me on this journey, this truth is
awaiting your discovery.
THE TRANSFORMATION UNFOLDS
I have divided this book into two parts.
Part I will take you on an adventure, immersing you in a world of wonder,
while revealing the evidence that supports every surprising concept. You may
have heard of some of the ideas before, but when you see all the incredible
evidence come together, piece by piece, it becomes a powerful tool of
transformation. Becoming more aware of how the world works on an
energetic and spiritual level raises your consciousness, which then allows you
to tap into a higher level of functioning. And when that happens a shift in
perception takes place, and you suddenly see the world through an
empowering new lens.
The other key is integration. So often we’ll discover potentially life-
changing knowledge, but its only effect is to make us pause momentarily
before life rushes back in and distracts us, and we end up relegating the
knowledge to the recesses of our minds. But what I offer you here is a
cohesive framework, where each concept complements and builds on the one
before, bringing together the scattered pieces of a complex puzzle. With this
framework in place, everything becomes so much clearer. Your life, the
world, the universe, and existence itself begin to make more sense.
In Part II, we take this framework and put it to use in transforming our
lives. You can think of Part II as the practical side of the knowledge Part I
reveals. It includes “Awakening Practices” designed to raise your level of
consciousness and connect you to the hidden beauty within yourself and the
very structure of existence. The epilogue then takes everything to an even
higher level, as I share a daily awakening practice that has proven to be
profoundly transformative.
As everything comes together, you’ll see how the hidden truths of reality
can be applied to everyday life to create more peace, joy, and true fulfillment,
while providing the deep sense of purpose that we’re all searching for.
DISCERNMENT ON THE JOURNEY
But before we begin on this adventure of a lifetime, I want you to know that
I’m not claiming to have all the answers. What I share is my perspective of
the ultimate truth, based on my own (sometimes extraordinary) life
experiences, and what I’ve come to discern to be true after extensively
researching non-mainstream science and spirituality. As such, there will
inevitably be some things that run so counter to your current belief system
that you just won’t be able to accept them. That’s completely fine, but try not
to use that as an excuse to throw out everything else. As with anything new,
take what resonates with you and leave the rest. Even if you only take a few
concepts from this book, they can still be profoundly transformative. Each
hidden aspect of reality, along with its practical application, is that powerful.
So make a commitment to continue reading, even if you come across some
things you can’t instantly accept to be true. You may find evidence in a later
chapter that changes your perspective, or you may continue to reject one
thing but find great value in another. Either way, it will pay great dividends
to continue reading with an open mind.
But that brings us to another issue, which is the power of beliefs. While
you should be discerning and not accept anything just because I (or anyone
else) said it, it’s just as important to be willing to openly examine your own
beliefs. Are they truly yours? Did you come to them by objectively
investigating the world around you or do you simply believe them to be true
because that’s what you were taught at an early age by your parents, teachers,
and society at large? If we’re honest, we often find that many of the things
that we believe to be true, and seemingly self-evident, are actually a product
of conditioning and not necessarily self-discerned truths. As such, whenever
you encounter resistance while reading this book, I’d suggest taking a
moment to pause and ask whether you know the absolute truth based on
personal experience, or whether you only think you know because that’s what
you learned early on and have held to be true because you have never
challenged it with contrary evidence. This discernment exercise will raise
your consciousness in and of itself, because you’ll be approaching life from a
more empowered standpoint, instead of being the unknowing captive of your
unquestioned beliefs.
