“I’ve had the wonderful privilege of experiencing Gary in action over many years both as friend and teacher. Gary is the rare gem who points directly to what we really are at the heart of our being—timeless Presence—ever-present Stillness that is always immediately available; yet which we fail to recognize because of our over-identification with the changing circum- stances of our lives. Gary offers us a fresh view, based on his firsthand experience of the paradox of enlightenment: that while there is nothing we can ultimately do to awaken to our timeless Presence, there are exquisite perennial practices of ‘non- doing’ that prepare the ground and clear the way for awakening. Gary beckons us to awaken from our dream of separation and realize our timeless and non-separate oneness with everything. Few may take up his call, but no pointer is more needed than his to call for us to come home.” Richard Miller, PhD author of

“If you’re interested in understanding the many levels of spir- itual reality, or the secrets uncovered in a cave in the Himalayas, or what adventures lie in store for you after you die, then Gary W eber’ s book is definitely not for you. There’ s no metaphysical speculation here, no religiosity , and no mystification. Instead, as its title points out, this is a

practical

guide. It’s as close as they come to a “How To” manual, not only for getting enlightened, but also for what to expect when you’re there.” James Lough , Ph.D., Edi tor of
