Can Reason entertain a Reality different than that of the Material world that pervades our thought today? Are we wrong about the form of the world and the life that we are experiencing? Are we really all separate beings disconnected from each other and the rest of Nature? What is consciousness? Is it something that somehow arises from our physical brain? Or is it something that pervades all of reality? Perhaps both these ideas are completely wrong because they both impose a distinction between me and what I am conscious of. If reality is a nondual whole then consciousness cannot be how we take it to be!

Starting from the one incontrovertible truth - that we are present - the author develops a view of reality that encompasses all of human experience and in the process shows how what we call physical reality and what we call spiritual reality are not two things as they are seen today - that there is only one Reality and it is nondual Awareness. This book puts the question of what reality is to the ultimate test by removing every one of our  unfounded assumptions about it. As one reader put it: "The light which An Introduction to Awareness shines on questioning reality is not to approximate reality, but to take it for what it is; it is a new way of finding the ultimate truth, to start from the simple truth that is the ultimate truth. The idea that it could be that simple is enticing."
