Consciousness Dialogues: From Beginner's Mind through Enlightenment: 150 Conversations with Peter Ralston

by Peter Ralston

Peter Ralston responds to 150 questions about consciousness from a global spectrum of people striving to grasp the nature of their own selvesThis illuminating collection of 150 questions and responses between Peter Ralston and a global spectrum of seekers provides a rare and nuanced look at the nature of consciousness and the path to understanding our true selves. Ralston is the author of the groundbreaking trilogy on the existential foundations of the human condition—The Book of Not Knowing, Pursuing Consciousness, and The Genius of Being. Here he has selected inquiries from more than two decades of question-and-answer exchanges with students as they work their way through his communications.    The mosaic of viewpoints from an astonishing diversity of real people at all levels of consciousness work yields a narrative that is intricate, wide-ranging, intimate, and emotionally honest. These dialogues expand our understanding of consciousness, test our assumptions, and interrogate the very process of inquiry.

About the author

Peter Ralston works with people to authentically expand and deepen their “consciousness,” and to become more real, honest, and effective human beings. He facilitates people in understanding their own selves and minds, and in becoming increasingly conscious of the nature of perception, experience, and existence, and the nature of “being.” He also does this through teaching people about their bodies and how to be most effective in its use, as well as teaching them the Art of Effortless Power — a large scope internal martial art using an effortless power to “play” with others, deepening an understanding of effective interaction using such principles as joining, complementing, leading, and so forth to create masterful interactive skills.

A great supplement to the amazing Book of Not Knowing. The conversations touch a wide range of topics, from enlightenment, contemplation, communication, honesty, emotions and much more, all in the light of increasing consciousness and discovering the truth about anything.

Peter Ralston likely provides the best teachings on epistemology. In short - direct experience is king. All else is your fantasies. But to not delude yourself is not so simple. Study this book to discern truth from falsehood.
