A stirring response to Eckhart Tolle's invitation to find the "Power of Now" that invites spiritual seekers to rethink awareness, awakening, and presence After a lifetime studying the world's spiritual traditions, pioneering philosopher Tim Freke presents the mystical heart of spirituality in eight transformative principles. Drawing from his personal experience, he compares spiritual awakening to the experience of lucid dreaming-except while in the waking state. Awakening is lucid living. This astonishingly direct book points to an awakened state, guiding you through a radically new way of looking at the present moment, step by step. It will take you less than an hour to read, but it could change your life for good. Since it was first published, Lucid Living has come to be seen by many as a modern spiritual classic. In this new edition Tim Freke reworks adds an eighth principle to account for the profound developments in his own understanding of awakening.
