INTRODUCTION TO THE LIGHT
This book is a manual for enlightenment.
You may ask, in what way is it a manual? Well, its main objective is mental training. While you read this book, you will be training towards a way of thinking completely different than the one the world has taught you to employ. Its result is, inevitably, enlightenment, because it will invite you to awaken from the dream in which humanity slumbers.
Far from being a procedural instrument, instructions, or guidelines, this work reveals the author’s experience as a consciousness coach. Its contents demand more practical proof than mental understanding, and more ability than intelligence. It is not a book to be wholly understood, but rather a tool to understand one’s self.
To me, an enlightened individual is the one who has learned to know their self. Period. It is that simple: an enlightened individual is a person that has awaken from the slumber of ego, and has, for the first time, recognized their own state of being. I have, in a single paragraph, described the essence of the book; I assure you and encourage, however, since I am certain that you would like to learn more, to please continue reading.
As you know, one light will light another light.
In my case, I was fortunate enough to embrace Amma Sri Mata Amritanan - damayi Devi, known throughout the world as Amma, or Mother, for her disinterested love and compassion towards all beings. Amma has dedicated her entire life to alleviate the pain of the poor, and the physically and emotionally disabled. This woman inspires and transforms with her bodily embrace (visit Embracing the World, her NGO).
Amma visited Barcelona several times; and once, when she was dispensing embraces to those who needed them (which she did for days, in a sporting arena filled to the brim with people), I was fortunate enough to receive my Darshan. To be hugged by Amma! Even though I held no expectations, nor felt any devotion for her, I must say that, in her arms, I could feel infinite love in the same instant in which our hearts were joined.
In her arms, I discovered non-space and non-time, as well as unconditional love. And the certainty that I had with her was that I would return that immeasurable emotion on the day that I leave this life; I felt that love was what would await me upon my passing, and that I wanted to feel that sensation again, because it was real, because it felt like home. Amma extinguished my sense of bewilderment outright. All of this happened in merely seconds (no further time was required).
And this absolute and instant certainty has accompanied me ever since. True story.
For two seconds I had been awake or enlightened.
Years before, I had felt something similar. One day, during my daily routines, I suddenly and spontaneously visualised a church confessional, which I entered. Instantly, I was surrounded by an inextinguishable, penetrating and loving light, without space or time, with intense warmth and brightness which, for the first time, made me feel what Love really was. Even though I experienced this ever so briefly, that unequivocal sensation of freedom from all limitations has always been with me.
Since then, I have felt very sure about myself, even at times of general uncertainty and change. It is something that stays with you forever. That certainty has allowed me to dare to try or face anything; because I know who walks beside me.
For another two seconds, I was again awake. Two plus two: a grand total of four seconds of enlightenment.
I assure you that this is more than enough to last a whole lifetime. Because it is not a matter of how long this enlightenment is, but rather about the eternal emotional footprint it marks in you.
That is how it happened, in my case. I unmasked my ego in my practice as a coach, which is why I titled this book “The Enlightened Coach.” However, what you will discover can be applied to anyone, whatever their livelihood or lifestyle.
This is not a book for coaches, consultants, or mentors... this is a book for anyone born on this planet who aspires to have a meaningful life. This book is for anyone who believes that there needs to be
