Instant Enlightenment  - David Deida Fast, Deep, and Sexy Explore the Other Side of Enlightenment Does enlightenment have a dark side? It does, explains David Deida, but instead of closing to what seems unloving, we can learn to open as what we would rather avoid. In  Instant Enlightenment,  this maverick author and teacher offers a "rude awakening" through a collection of daring exercises and practices intended to provoke, challenge, and immediately reveal the ever-present "love that lives all things." Each pithy chapter encourages readers to blast the light of consciousness on the taboos we hide in shadow, from our ideas about sex and money to emotions and spirituality. Instant Enlightenment  will surprise and possibly offend you—but it will lead you "fast and suddenly" to the realization of the sacred entirety of your experience. "Dive straight into this book.

But it exists in the present, before time even moves. Instant Enlightenment is a series of pointers to who you are in the timeless now. In other words, David Deida points directly to the present moment in which 'you' and 'God' are simply two names for the same openness in which the entire universe arises, an openness you can feel right now, if you know where to look. And Instant Enlightenment is the place to start. Instant enlightenment? Oh, I assure you, it's not hard to attain- and it's impossible to avoid. Want to find out why? And how? Dive straight into this book. Open to any page and read for two minutes, and you'll see that you are instant enlightenment. I'd offer a money back guarantee, but I wouldn't have any takers." —Ken Wilber, author of  A Brief History of Everything  and  Integral Spirituality
