Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment
Purpose, Preparation, Powers, and Further Development

Book Cover & Preview Text
Enlightenment or Spiritual awakening is a psychological phenomenon where something of the mind develops, awakens, and unifies, and something else of the mind drops off or surrenders. Some desire spiritual awakening very directly and indeed, very intensely, but it is very difficult to achieve, because spiritual enlightenment is something that happens rather than something that we do. And on the other hand, spiritual awakening does not really happen by itself. There is always some preparation for some time in whatever form. Some develop intensity through the development of deep understanding that later leads to more intense curiosity that ultimately leads to seeing through the obstacles of the mind, and then a profound surrender occurs as a permanent state of being. Others develop intensity through desire and developing powerful emotions that may lead to the higher awakened state, where the heart blissfully awakens and unites with consciousness. And still others develop intensity through the proper use of suffering, where suddenly they find themselves transformed into awakened conscious beings. This short book describes what happens in the actual experience of spiritual awakening and how to prepare and thus speed up the process. The book also discusses the profound benefits of enlightenment, powers associated with mind development, healing oneself, accomplishing in life, and how to prepare for life after death.

About the Author
Guy Berchik was born in Israel and comes from the spiritual traditions of Judaism and Kabbalah. He attended Yeshiva in Jerusalem and has continued his studies independently to the present day. He also attended business and law school in the US and later the theoretical part of medical school in Europe. Later he moved to Russia for a number of years and presently lives in Slovakia and Italy. As a single parent, he has raised two children with spiritual traditions and considers this experience to be his richest and the most profound in his life. It was through explaining concepts of enlightenment to his son that he was shaken by his own realization that triggered his awakening and ultimate surrender after many years of preparation. He travels throughout Europe and Israel and is available to seekers who are interested in spiritual awakening.
