Book of Daleth

[dotster]

I recently stumbled across this book and thought it might be a good read. I had all but forgotten about it until yesterday, so I started reading it. It really has some mind-blowing concepts about life, and what exactly the author thinks enlightenment is. I thought a few of you might be interested in reading it. The website is: http://www.bookofdaleth.com/

It is a free e-book. I think it is a little over 300 pages. Like I said above, I've just started reading it, but so far it's just mind boggling. It really makes you think. Enjoy!

From the book:
"       Thus the only way to properly live our life is to realize we are
not here. There is nobody home in this shell we call ―I. Only then
can we begin to be conscious of our ―I as that which transcends even
GOD..."

-and-

"1.       If a person is talking in dualistic terms, e.g. there is this person
there that needs saving and doesn't qualify it by saying something
along the lines that there really isn't two people there. But rather a
projection of appearance of two people, then they are probably not
awakened.
2.       If a person sees the world as imperfect as is, then they are
probably not awakened.
3.       If they preach compassion or saving the world or being in
service to others then they are probably not awakened.
4.       If they do not have an understanding that they themselves are
empty shells, shadows, robots etc and that everyone is this, then they
are probably not awakened.
5.       If the talk about the moment of awakening as something that
added to their existence, e.g., addition of knowledge then they are
probably not awakened.
6.       If they talk in terms of ecstatic blissful experiences of
radiating love to the entire universe then they probably are not
awakened.
7.       If a person is talking in dualistic terms, e.g. there is this person
there that needs saving and doesn't qualify it by saying something
along the lines that there really isn't two people there, but rather a
projection or appearance of two people, then they are probably not
awakened.
8.       If they are demonstrating magical abilities, have you invested
in initiation services or having secret practices then they are probably
not awakened. Actually on this point you should be very wary as it's
likely the ―Supposed Guru is really all about control and power.
9.       If they identify with some quality e.g., compassion, love, etc.
then they are probably not awakened. Similarly if they identify the
human form as being the enlightened thing, then they are probably not
awakened.
10.     If they are trying to add something to you e.g., become a better
person, become more loving, become more compassionate, then they
are probably not awakened.
11.     If they do not consistently say to others the answers are not
within a guru, but rather are within you, then they probably are not
awakened.
12.     If they do not understand that no matter what is said, it must
all be a fundamental lie, they are probably not awakened."
