Title: Unclear and of minor usefulness
Review: An occasionally mildly interesting series of anecdotes and little musings on life. The musings are not particularly original and are somewhat repressive in tone. There is not much literary merit, either. The writing is adequate journalistic writing as you would find in any newspaper, but no more than that. Also, it's never made clear what awakened awareness is and how it differs from unawakened awareness, or how we go about getting awakened awareness. Clarity on this point should have been a minimum requirement, I would've thought! Also, why are there 7 qualities of awakened awareness? Why not 8, 9 or 10? The designation 7 seems to be purely arbitrary. What about the quality of humour, for example?...If you are truly interested in genuine awakening in a more democratic "no teacher, no student" context there are other much better, much clearer and much worthier books out there. Try Jan Kersschot's books, for example.
