The One Year Manual by Israel Regardie

This video is a review of the book The One Year Manual by Israel Regardie. This is one of my absolute favorite books and one which I refer to more often than perhaps any other. In my latest blog post, I wrote about “reverse engineering enlightenment” based on the work of cognitive science professor John Vervaeke and his 2019 lecture series “Awakening from the Meaning Crisis”. (Link below👇) He describes the process of reverse engineering enlightenment as one of creating an ecology of practices which can help us avoid self-deception and cultivate wisdom and meaning. But long before then Israel Regardie came to the same conclusions about enlightenment. He too saw enlightenment not as some permanent state only attained in the distant past by the rarest of men but as an ongoing process supported by an ecology of practices which anyone can cultivate. But what I love most about this book is it leaves out all the BS. This is zero fluff, pure gold. In his own words: "In this manual, it is proposed to burden the student with very little theory, but to outline a course of procedure which, persisted in for at least twelve months, will bring him a good way along the Path. This course of procedure will describe a certain number of classical practices which are calculated to produce certain types of results. There will be no attempt to dazzle him with startling but vague promises, with fantasies of great achievements, with misleading claims leading nowhere.” Watch the video for more!🎥 Awakening from the Meaning Crisis by John Vervaeke:    • Awakening from the Meaning Crisis   My blog post on reverse engineering enlightenment: https://www.justinbirkholz.com/create...
