Being Life Itself

Do you observe life or are you life?

Observing and being life – what is the difference?
The difference is decisive. Living life as an observer assumes that the one observing is real. Try spending just one little minute without ANY belief in any observer that could be real. Try doing this while listening to some music that you enjoy.
How does it feel? …no observer hearing … no observer seeing … just seeing … just hearing … just …

It feels soooooo alert and alive.

There is an alternative way to do this little zen trick – see EVERYTHING as the observer seeing. Hear EVERYTHING as the observer hearing. Taste EVERYTHING as the tasting the observer tasting.
Yummmmmm – tasty observer.

alive, observer, witness, Zen

I am currently reading your book Liberation from the Lie for the 4th time. It is astounding. I want to personally thank you for such a marvelous product. This book ought to be standard repertoire in every school curriculum. J.D.

Very recently I was given your book, Liberation from Lie. I can't stop reading the book. Every word in the book is me and I have been able to see why I have been living my life with such a high level of stress, worries, fear. Liberation from lie is just wonderful wonderful and what the book says is absolutely correct. 100% agreement from me. J.P.

I came home and your book made my cry...So all the moods of the ego passed away and I let my anger, hunger for knowledge, my tears and lots of ironic humor in, totally and found out: I am alive!! And waking up. F.V.

With the help of this book’s techniques, we heal the Wound and discard the False Self, revealing a true and deeper self of joy, love, and happiness. J.M.

This is not a Self Help book. It is a liberation-from-self book. My life has been changed with this new understand and I believe yours’ will be also. S.B.

This will be my guide for the rest of my life. Thank you for your great book. Y.K.

I'd like to thank you for and congratulate you on your book. I've read through it now and feel that you've really diagnosed and articulated very accurately some (perhaps, the, at least in practical terms) key aspects of our present human condition and how to approach it. I would go so far as to say that at this point it seems to be the best 'model' I have come across

I can’t thank you enough for the seed you planted. J.K.

You’ve done a great job on this book - I can tell that already. It hits me hard and in the gut. J.O.

I’ve been reading your book, Liberation from the Lie, and I find it revolutionary. A.

I’m about halfway through your book, Liberation from the Lie, - great, great read. Your book really hits home and, as you know, it’s extremely difficult finding such powerful reads. L.R.

Been reading your book since you sent it. Brilliant! Spiritualist, pleaser, rebel, ha ha ha ! tons of images from the past as a child as a teanager as a parent. Images of my parents and my children. There is a sense of sadness, relief and undescribable joy! This hits me right is tne solar plexus. Thank you for this gem Eric. C.L.

If you want to understand what the word 'Natural' means as opposed to what the word 'Enlightenment' means, then read this book – If you want to know why you struggle, why you feel tense all the time. Why you do not feel at home anywhere… If you would like to even begin to understand why nothing fits for you, why the world feels so alienating then start here and do not stop. P.B.

First of all I want to say how your book "Liberation of the Lie" hits home to me. I'm amazed that you've been able to observe the mind this way and put your finger on the"LIE". J.D.

I wanted to tell you that this is the first book that I feel goes straight to the heart of the issue .. the core. K.B.

The basic message of this book is exactly what is needed in this crazy life: to realize our authentic and true selves free from the bondage of striving. This is a call to no longer live and act from fear, but rather from the presence of love inherent in our being. S.K.

Eric Gross has taken on a great challenge by attempting to liberate us all from our deepest held, most destructive beliefs and he has come up with a masterful book. S.G.

Are you ready to rise above the morass of conventional wisdom and discover a new way of understanding yourself, the world around you and what you're here to accomplish? Are you prepared to wake up and return to the heroic journey we are all called to? If you are `Liberation From The Lie' is the book for you! B.E.

Eric Gross shines a thousand headlights on your Fear-Self. Seeing the Fear-Self, and seeing who sees it, you might realize there is another approach to living life. J.K.

By far, one of the better, if not the best, "help" books I've read (believe me, there have been many). My opinion, his work is much more focused and accessible than what Tolle attempts to impart in the "Power of Now”. R.K.

Eric Gross does a very creditable job of laying out a path for "cutting the roots of fear once and for all." I give it five stars - well worth reading and reflecting upon. J.T.

In many cases, there really is only so much you can say about the nature of reality. And we’ve read quite a few books that really aren’t worth the time to review. So it is always a particular treat to read a book that approaches things differently or brings a message from a different angle. “Liberation from the Lie” by Eric Gross is one of those books. 10 out of 10 and ranked as the third best awakening book reviewed by the Enlightenment Dudes.
