“What if all you knew was your prison cell?”
“I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
“If you were in prison your entire life, and that’s all you knew, and you were satisfied and even happy, that’s great. But imagine if suddenly you were set free into the world. What would that be like?”
“I suppose overwhelming, amazing and wonderful”
“You’ve just answered your question.”
That's a paraphrased portion of the conversation I was fortunate to have with Jonathan Robinson, author of The Enlightenment Project: How I Went From Depressed to Blessed, and You Can Too.
It was in response to my question of:
“The sub title of your book is - going from depressed to blessed. I don’t often, if ever, feel depressed and I already feel pretty blessed. So, what exactly does enlightenment and awareness mean for me? Given that I am generally happy with my life, why should I care, much less pursue this further?"
Enlightening indeed.
After our conversation I re-read much of the book and I’ll likely read it again soon as it is packed with an extensive amount of learning which is really well presented. I found Robinson’s writing to be clear, concise, and very engaging.
He includes decades of learnings, studies, interviews, techniques, experiences and a millennium of history around enlightenment and distills it into a very insightful and approachable read. He covers a lot of ground, almost effortlessly, which makes this a fantastic book for a curious novice like myself. And I also believe those with more experienced in these areas would also have a lot to gain from this and his many other books too.
I’m still not sure if or when I might pursue an “awakening”. However, this book has clarified a lot of things for me, piqued my curiosity much further and prepared me for that “it” moment when I do decide to dive in and become enlightened.
