The most important things you can get from this book are: An experience of the silent witness within and the understanding that this is your true, essential nature, an awareness of all of the spiritual paths to Self Realization and how you can ontinually advance or evolve, a fervent desire to awaken or deepen within one's awakening, an exploration of practical methods that may assist and hasten your awakening, or an even deeper level of awakening. Of course, everything contributes to some extent. However, the elements of each of the generalized paths described in this book have been shown over time to have value in speeding things up. You must decide for yourself which path and which elements of that path contribute most at any given moment or period in your life. For this, no formula can be offered, other than to follow one's own inner guidance. Let the law of attraction be your guide.
