THE HAPPINESS IN BEING: Spiritual Guide for Discovering Your Essential Nature, is a book that aims to offer the reader a spiritual understanding that is fundamentally inspired from ancient wisdom traditions including the non-dualism of Vedanta and Buddhism, yet conveyed in everyday English language. It is grounded upon the basic spiritual principles that we all share in the 'oneness of Being', and our inherent pure Being is infused with peace, freedom and joy. The way to this recognition is to return to our sense of Beingness. Intrinsic to this 'direct knowing' of our core existence, which is beyond our thinking mind, we come to the clear understanding that we are, in essence, unaffected pure consciousness, or awareness. Then, we must practice and abide in this knowing. Utilising a dialogue format, the journey to discover our essential nature is explored by addressing specific questions of manifested time-bound existence for the modern Truth seeker within the compass of this fundamental understanding. This may help Self-empower us to overcome our personal challenges, worries, doubts, anxieties and fears as well as the inevitable experience of conflicts that we encounter in the world. In particular, this book tackles some pertinent issues of our modern world that can be understood in a new light to be in harmony with a deeper, authentic way of living. We must then endeavour to cultivate a natural flow of aligned action with our inner Being, which will promote a more peaceful, fulfilling and happy life.
