Each one of us has only one person to change and that person is at hand twenty-four hours a day, at our command. What beauty in God’s mathematics! It comes to billions. If everyone evolves to a higher consciousness—or even most of us—the world will change.
SWAMI AMAR JYOTI
This Guidebook to Higher Consciousness is a manual for awakening our inner wisdom through practical, accessible, commonsense spiritual principles that can change our lives.
Consciously or unconsciously, we are all seeking fulfillment in life, whether it is through a relationship, career, knowledge, talents, empowerment, helping others or spiritual enlightenment. The Light That Awakens reveals that the source of our seeking is not outside of us but within—a boundless reservoir of wisdom, peace, power, light and bliss. That reservoir has been called consciousness.
While science is currently exploring consciousness to understand the secrets of the universe, the sages of ancient India utilized meditation to explore the Reality behind creation. It is this universal wisdom that Swami Amar Jyoti imparts in simple and transparent language for today’s seeker.
Speaking from direct experience of the highest spiritual attainment, Swami Amar Jyoti shows us that spirituality does not have to be austere or difficult. Aspirants from many paths and traditions will appreciate this gentle guide for finding the sublime in every moment.

His disciples have repaid his kindness by sharing his teachings in this book. For those who did not get to learn from Swami when he was in his body, now is the chance to receive his teachings via this treasure of a small book. —Prem
