*Preface*

We live in a world where belief has replaced knowing. For centuries, humanity has followed teachers, prophets, and books, hoping to find God, truth, and freedom. Yet belief is fragile - it can be shaken, debated, and lost.

Awareness, however, cannot be shaken. It is direct, living knowledge. When a person awakens to awareness, they no longer depend on belief. They know. They no longer seek outside themselves. They realize that God is not far away but within; that the mirror image is not the true self; that we were never born and will never die.

This book is not written to give you new beliefs. It is written to awaken you to what you already are. It is written to remind you that you are the truth you seek. The chains of fear and belief break when you realize that your essence is eternal, unchanging, and inseparable from the Source.

My hope is that as you turn these pages, you will not only read, but also practice. You will not only think, but also experience. You will not only believe, but also know.

The truth is not hidden. The truth is you.
