“Me”

Author Eric Gross and his ambi­tious 364 page book Lib­er­a­tion From The Lie is a clar­ion call to human­ity, encour­ag­ing each and every­one of us to redis­cover our unique­ness, pur­sue our long ignored dreams and return to the heroic path for which we were des­tined. While his mes­sage is con­tem­po­rary and rel­e­vant his frame of ref­er­ence is pre­dom­i­nantly Bud­dhist with an eclec­tic fusion of tra­di­tions (spir­i­tual and oth­er­wise) that prove once again that the really impor­tant truths have always been known, we just need to be reminded of them every gen­er­a­tion or so.

Delv­ing into the com­plex, inner work­ings of the psy­che is no easy task for most authors, they either lose their audi­ence in pro­fun­dity or resort to shal­low cliché and catch phrases. Eric Gross does nei­ther. His ideas flow gen­tly and grace­fully across the printed page tak­ing the reader on an highly per­sonal voy­age inward peel­ing the lay­ers of pre­tense and facade with a grace and crafts­man­ship that is truly inspiring.

Are you ready to rise above the morass of con­ven­tional wis­dom and dis­cover a new way of under­stand­ing your­self, the world around you and what you’re here to accom­plish? Are you pre­pared to wake up and return to the heroic jour­ney we are all called to? If you are ‘Lib­er­a­tion From The Lie’ is the book for you!

Eric Gross is the author of Lib­er­a­tion from the Lie.

Eric was the recip­i­ent of the NASA Fel­low­ship in Remote Sens­ing, as well as the United States Depart­ment of Jus­tice Fel­low­ship in Crim­i­nal Jus­tice. His many years of affil­i­a­tion with the Dinè (Navajo) Peace­mak­ing Divi­sion was an out­come of this Fel­low­ship. You can see his US Depart­ment of Jus­tice report here and more of his pro­fes­sional writ­ings here. The vision of Lib­er­a­tion, as described and taught in this book, is based on many years study­ing and prac­tic­ing Zen Bud­dhism with an Asian mas­ter, many years work­ing with Navajo (Dinè) tra­di­tional heal­ers, and real-world appli­ca­tion of these ideas from an awak­ened per­spec­tive. All of the prin­ci­ples of Lib­er­a­tion from the Lie have been rig­or­ously tested and you are invited to test them in your own life. The goals of Lib­er­a­tion are those of heal­ing the wounded spirit, re-connecting with the life source, see­ing through our iden­ti­ties with inad­e­quacy, and find­ing the love and pas­sion that we are here to express.

    Eric:
    You’ve been very busy! The blog looks dif­fer­ent again. I get used to things a cer­tain way, so it’s unset­tling when it changes, but I respect your desire to improve it. I like the typog­ra­phy. Frankly, I can’t remem­ber how it was! Just that I liked it then too.

    I looks like you’ve dis­abled com­ments, but I never saw any com­ments col­lect­ing anyway.

    I really appre­ci­ate your blog.

    Con­grat­u­la­tions on being cho­sen #3 in the 10 high­est Scor­ing Spir­i­tual Enlight­en­ment Books.

      Thank you.
      I really appre­ci­ate your com­ment.
      And, I really must apol­o­gize for chang­ing the theme of the blog so often. It’s a bit of an obses­sion that just need to let go of. It has been chal­leng­ing to find just the best look in a theme that has all the fea­tures that I would like for this blog.
      I really like the typog­ra­phy of this theme, but it has one impor­tant lim­i­ta­tion that I’m hop­ing the develop will cor­rect. So, I have to warn you that there may be at least one more theme change com­ing.
      Com­ments are not dis­abled on this blog. I just receive very few of them.
      All the best and thank you again for your comment.

    Eric, your pay­pal donate link just takes me to the main pay­pal page and not to a page spe­cific to donat­ing to your account. Can I just use eric@liberationfromthelie.com for the account? Just drop this com­ment when you read this I guess. Just wanted to let you know some­how. –Allen

    I saw your inter­view on Con­sciousTV one of the most authen­tic and true for me
    (impact­full) inter­views EVER . Seek­ing petered out in 2008 or 2009 but the
    laugh­ter and ease that comes when the card­board con­struct of me is dis­man­tled
    con­tin­ues. I have no more prob­lem with the NeoAd­vaita non-dual stuff. I am
    singing my own song at last.….. Thank you Eric Har­riet Hilker

    Hi Eric,
    I’d say I’ve been seek­ing since I’ve been about 12 (30 years ago! ) after read­ing Car­los Cas­taneda, then get­ting into yoga etc and the last few years inter­ested just in non dual teachings.

    Any­way I just wanted to say I really con­nected with your intel­li­gent clear inter­view on Con­scious TV.
    No Bull­shit and bang on the money.

    I really res­onate with your whole expres­sion of this
    and it’s great to see some­one who is authen­ti­cally express­ing it.

    For me it was one of the best inter­views I’ve ever seen on this matter.

    You’ve helped me to make the con­nec­tion from seeker to finder and I’m look­ing for­ward to read­ing your book,
    Cheers
    Brad. (UK)

      Thank you Brad.

      Much of the struc­ture of Lib­er­a­tion from the Lie was based on my direct expe­ri­ences on the Navajo (Dine) Nation, which showed my how inval­i­da­tion and the with­drawal of love or the con­di­tional offer of love was not only the source of seek­ing, but also was the source of inter­per­sonal vio­lence, sub­stance abuse, and the religion’s mis­sion to tran­scend the chal­lenges of daily living.

      Thank you for your very kind words.
