Book Review:
HAPPINESS BEYOND THOUGHT
A Practical Guide to Awakening
Gary Weber, iUniverse, 2007
Without doubt, spiritual awakening has become the number
one priority of our times. Without such awakening, there is
no hope for our species. However, like most success
stories, it takes place one person at a time, and Gary
Weber’s book is an effective tool to aid the process.
A deep student of the now deceased Indian sage Ramana
Maharshi, Gary uses Ramana’s cogent spiritual concepts to
help us awaken to our true Self. In a simple yet highly
effective question and answer style, similar to Ekhart
Tolle’s Power of Now, Gary guides us, step-by-step, through
the internal maze of obstructions that prevent us from
witnessing the simple luminosity of the Self beyond
thought.
Chant plays an important role in the process, especially
mantras, and Gary offers insights born from his many years
of assiduous personal application and the teaching of
meditation using mantras. The icing on the cake is a lucid
section on the Upadesa Sharam, Ramana’s most prominent work
on the state of enlightenment.
Happiness Beyond Thought comes highly recommended to every
student of the spiritual journey and can prove to be an
indispensable tool in these times of crass commercialism,
when we are constantly bombarded, cajoled, and allured, by
the promise of happiness outside ourselves. Here, we are
taught to find independence through awakening to our own
immortality, from thinking outside the box to “being
outside the box”, a league all of its own.
