You're already free, you just haven't realized it yet
"...first there are mountains and water. Then there are no mountains and no water. And then, there are mountains and water."
In this new, fully revised second edition of Already Awake, Already Free, Joey Lott shares with us his unique vision of how we can develop our own realization of our inherent freedom. He makes no attempt to 'awaken' us, he strives only to point out that each and every one of us is already awake. We just don't always realize it.
And for die-hard fans of the original first edition, the great news is that it’s also included in this volume as a bonus read!
Looking for Freedom and complete peace of mind?
“We have records of humans seeking self-knowledge and spiritual awakening for thousands and thousands of years. Perhaps out of sheer habit humans still seek awakening. But my contention is that this is folly for we are each already awake.”
Many of us have been looking for a long time. Many of us have been looking in all the wrong places. Lott cuts through some of the popular, often complex and expensive techniques that we habitually look to when we think of ‘awakening’, and teaches instead that the only place we need to look is within ourselves. His teaching is practical, concise, straightforward and completely free of dogma.
So how do I awaken?
Through a series of simple, profoundly effective exercises designed to shift our habitual fixation on thought, Lott explains how we can let go of everything that can obscure our clarity of vision. There are no gimmicks; no improbable promises regarding the ways in which your life will change; just a simple, frank, honest approach to the removal of suffering and the discovery of freedom. And best of all, the exercises he shares can shift your perception instantly! They will allow you to naturally notice what already is – that you already are awake!
Joey Lott offers an invitation to readers to “explore direct experience and discover the actuality of what is” – so why not accept? Read your copy of Already Awake, Already Free and begin exploring.
"The secret to happiness is to let go of everything - see through every assumption."
Beginning at a young age Joey Lott experienced intensifying anxiety. For several decades he lived with restrictive eating disorders, obsessions, compulsions, and an inescapable fear. By the time he was 30 years old he was physically sick, emotionally volatile, and mentally obsessed with keeping any and all unwanted thoughts and experiences at bay.
At this time Lott was living on a futon mattress in a tiny cabin in the woods. He was so sick that he could barely move. He was deeply depressed and hopeless. All this despite doing all the "right" things such as years of meditation, yoga, various "perfect" diets, clean air, and pure water.
Just when things were at their most dire, a crack appeared in the conceptual world that had formerly been mistaken for reality. By peering into this crack and underneath all the assumptions that had been unquestioned up to that moment, Lott began a great undoing. The revelation of this undoing is that reality is utterly simple, ever-present, seamless, and indivisible.
Lott's books provide a glimpse into the seamless, simple, and joyous nature of reality, offering a glimpse through the crack in conceptual worlds. Whether writing about the ultimate non-dual nature of reality, eating disorders, stress, disease, or any other subject, he offers the invitation to look at things differently, leaving behind the old, out-grown, painful limitations we have used to bind ourselves in suffering. And then, he welcomes you home to the effortless simplicity of yourself as you are.
