Being Life Itself
Posted by Eric in Art, liberation, Life, Philosophy on May 6, 2009
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.
The Navajo 3 Levels of Life
Posted by Eric in Environment, liberation, Life, Philosophy on March 9, 2009
This story was told to me by a traditional Navajo healer.
He said that there are three levels of reality. The first is the sensed world – everything we see, hear, touch, taste, and touch. It is 100% sacred. The second level is our psychological world. It consists of our hopes and fears and any opinions we have related to our hopes and fears. This world is the source of 100% of our suffering. Finally there is the Ceremonial World, where it is all one.
We can see that this means that karma, the belief in an afterlife, a belief in a personal god, each belongs to the psychological world of our hopes and fears. The sensed world is sacred. In its form of pure connection – it is the Ceremonial World

True Awakening, Part 1
A magnificent description of the awakened self and how we access this liberated self. It is not an identity. It is who we are outside of the domain of time and the world of getting here and fleeing that.
The Awakened Self
Posted by Eric in Life, Philosophy on February 10, 2009
We are told, over and over again, that we are already enlightened. All of the esoteric teachings of “eastern” “philosophy” repeat that core statement.
It is true. We are.
I ask you this – where is the place your mind can never touch? Where is the place the mind can never land?
What makes all of life possible? What connects all things into one?
What is here prior to mind?
Where is the only place in all of the universe where everything is truly and unquestionably one?
You are that.
Presence is ongoing process. This process is the “stuff” that makes EVERYTHING possible. It gives brief life to every phenomenon in the universe.
Enough said.

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.
