The Lazy Man’s Guide to Enlightenment

Never was a book's title more descriptive. 

This dense little book by author Thaddeus Golas is short and very sweet. Takes only an hour to read, but can be re-read again and again, newly each time. By the end of it you'll have no excuse to to remain endarkended.

Talking about enlightenment is like a dog chasing its tail, eating your own mouth, seeing your own eyeballs without a mirror. It's impossible, a futile effort. Paradox and Confusion are the guards protecting the Jewel within the temple. Enlightenment lies outside the realm of words and concepts.

The author acknowledges early on his own reluctance to write the book in the first place, explaining it's really just a personal journal of sorts, written to remind himself of key points and lessons he's learned.

"He who talks about the Truth doesn't know it; he who knows the Truth doesn't talk about it."

Nevertheless, here it is, in less than 100 pages.

End your quest, and realize that you're already (always have been, and always will be) enlightened. Experience (or re-experience) the "Me Decade" of the 1970s and the Human Potential Movement in all its glory.

Read, learn, lighten-up.

The book is out of print and getting expensive. Buy the book here on amazon.
