    About this ebook

    Why have there been only a few enlightened beings throughout Earths history? What was it that made masters like Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha and Lord Krishna see the totality of our creation? Did they have something inside of them that ordinary people dont have?

    Oneness is here to show us that this can be experienced by anyone, because it is already present; it doesnt even need any effort to be experienced, unless we cover it with something from the mind. Oneness helps us to uncover our true nature and guides us beyond our body and mind to the realization of the Self (also known as Self-realization).

    In Oneness, you will learn/realize the following:
    The body identification
    The mind identification
    The body-mind-soul connection
    The Self

    It also guides you to the awakening of your heart. This is where you fully merge yourself with everything there is, where you realize Oneness and find your inner peace, freedom, and happiness!

    Oneness is not a religion and can therefore be experienced by everyone. And its not only about the knowledge of Oneness from the minds point of view; Oneness takes you also beyond the mind. With just a few practical guides and instructions, in the end, you will be amazed that you havent experienced it before!

      The Ultimate Self-Help

      HERE IS A HERESY: Buddhism is not only self-help, it’s the ultimate self-help. Many people would consider this a heresy because it appears to violate one of Buddhism’s central principles—nonself. If there’s no self, how can there be self-help? But no

      Acknowledgement

      I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL the great Masters that made the effort to reach the state of effortlessness; without you as guides I would still be searching…

      Also I would like to thank all my friends and family for their most valuable input and feedback on this book, as well as the staff on Balboa Press for making the release of this book possible.

      Before we start

      A S A READER, YOU WILL notice that there are more spaces compared to a normal book. Spaces like this one:

      That was a space, and I have done this deliberately to give you some extra time to reflect upon what I just wrote. May you use it wisely.

      A little about me

      F IRST OF ALL, WELCOME TO my story! I am happy that you want to know more of what I have to share with you, because it is a fantastic spiritual journey that awaits you! And there is still more I want to share with you after the spiritual journey, because I got to realize that there had never really been any journey…

      Confused? Well, I hope I can make it more clear for you as we continue! But let’s start from the beginning, shall we?!

      Let’s start with my childhood, where I did so many different things that I would reckon it was just normal, whatever that is. I grew up in Sweden with my little brother and my father and mother. I had a pretty standard Swedish life where I went to school (of course), and I did sports and played games with my family and friends.

      And since this was how the reality showed itself for me at that time, I accepted it with the innocence of a child. My parents guided me and my brother morally, but there was no one there to guide us spiritually, and so it was not obvious at all that I would choose the spiritual path later on in life.

      And it still is a mystery for me, because already in my childhood, my approach to life was that of an atheist. I remember how I thought people who believe in God was somehow mislead into a false belief. And since my mind was not so expanded at that time, I could not properly read and interpret spiritual scriptures like the Bible. My attitude towards spiritual scriptures was that one has to believe in it if it is going to be true, and that the mind then makes it true. Since I didn’t believe in these things, it was not true for me. And therefore, rationally, I could dismiss God as non-existent, and the believers of God as fools.

      So this was my reality in my youth; God did not exist, and after death all would turn black. Easy and simple, I liked it!

      And this attitude would have continued if it wasn’t for something called love.

      When I came out of my teens, a shift suddenly occurred in my mind. I realized, that I had so far in life been thinking that I had the answers to everything, that I had the solutions to everything, and if everyone would think and do like me, the world would be a much better place! The only problem with this was that I was not really happy in my life! Of course, momentary happiness came sometimes, but it also left me just as sudden, empty and not so happy. By logic, since I supposedly knew best all the time, I should also be able to be happy all the time, right?! And yet, I was not.

      It wasn’t until I accepted that I actually might not know what is the best for me (or for others for that matter) that my mind started to open up for other possibilities. I started to feel that maybe the answer to everything could be unconditional love and acceptance to one another. I also started to feel that there could be something behind everything, something that I couldn’t see nor touch or smell, but somehow it was there, something very subtle. So basically, I opened up for the possibility for the existence of God.

      This new feeling of God stayed with me and became more and more an active search for God. The only problem was, I didn’t really know where to look! How to find what I was searching for, when I didn’t even know what God really was?! I knew somehow that I couldn’t find it in the conventional religions, since I had seen so much negativity from them in the form of violence and full-scale wars, so I just continued to be open for God, and I started to believe in God as something beyond my reach, something beyond my mind impossible for the mind to fully grasp. I really wanted to be able to grasp it, but I didn’t know how, except for one thing that started to become more dominant inside of me: my inner voice, which also is known as intuition.

      I remember I didn’t like to use the word God, because I still related the word too much to a God that were responsible for many wars that had been fought in His name, witch burnings in the dark medieval times in Europe and stonings that still occur in the Middle-east, etc, all this due to religion. Of course, I had always known that this was man-made, out of ego, but now I also started to feel that God was somehow present as well, but still out of reach for me.

      How to reach God was not on the agenda for me yet, because I didn’t have the feeling to search. I simply accepted my so called inner voice inside of me that was guiding me along in my life.

      Most of the times, the inner voice was a feeling, or a knowing beyond words, but sometimes it was actually a voice that I could hear speaking with words, and it was very powerful when that happened. This powerful voice came when it wanted me to not choose anything else, when it was important beyond all other options to follow the inner voice!
