Consciousness contains our limitless human potential, waiting to be explored.
Our experience of the world and life is determined by the way we focus our consciousness. The normal human condition is limited to and by the senses because we focus only on what they reveal. When the senses are quiescent, as in meditation, there is still a sense of being present and experiencing, but this state is free from the limitations of the senses. Within it we glimpse limitless and boundless possibilities which can be called the greater human potential - that which has been known and spoken of by mystics, meditators and yogis throughout the ages. This series is dedicated to that journey inward. It is the journey that liberates so that our total way of being in the world undergoes a transformation. Each one of us can travel it for the benefit of all sentient beings.
Rob’s books are acclaimed
internationally and are available
in several languages. The books

"Life from the Buddhist perspective has no need of meaning, because if we are in touch with ourselves inwardly, the need to seek meaning evaporates. A self-revealing significance is found, and this is profoundly meaningful."
