To my Mother and Father

Thank you for the gift of life.

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

—Albert Einstein

Acknowledgments

Suzanne Burns, my publicist and executive administrator, edited this book from the transcripts to my audio program of the same name. Many others helped in the process, not the least of whom was Nerissa, my life partner, who took care of the critters so I could focus on creating this book. I have many inner circle supporters in my life, a few of whom include Pat O’Bryan, Craig Perrine, Bill Hibbler, Rick and Mary Barrett, Brad Marcus, and Victoria Belue Schaefer. I also want to thank Peter Wink and Theresa Pushkar for their help in creating the course. There’s a long list of prosperity teachers who have influenced me, including Reverend Ike, Catherine Ponder, Joseph Murphy, Edwene Gaines, Eric Butterworth, Charles Fillmore, Elizabeth Towne, William Walker Atkinson, Robert Collier, Neville Goddard, Vernon Howard, Stuart Wilde, Terri Cole Whittaker, and Bob Proctor. Many spiritual teachers have also helped, including Rajneesh, Bryon Katie, David Hawkins, and Dr. Hew Len. I also want to thank the fine people at John Wiley & Sons, Inc., particularly Matt Holt, for believing in me and publishing my recent books. If I’ve forgotten anyone instrumental in creating this book, please forgive me. I am grateful for all of you, including you, the reader. Without you, this book wouldn’t be necessary. Please enjoy it, and live long and prosper. Onward to our awakening!

Introduction

In my book, Zero Limits, I said there were three stages of awakening. At that time I didn’t know there was a fourth stage. I’ve now experienced it. It’s the level of transcendence that Einstein and numerous spiritual teachers spoke of and often lived in. It’s as real as your experience of reality right now, but it goes beyond anything you’ve ever experienced before.

This book goes beyond all my previous work. It goes beyond the hit movie The Secret, beyond The Attractor Factor, even beyond Zero Limits. It builds on them, of course, as the earlier works spoke of the early stages of awakening. But because I had yet to experience the fourth stage, I could not write about it. Until now.

In 2009 I recorded an audio program called The Awakening Course. I had no idea if anyone would want it, let alone understand it. To my surprise and delight, it became a bestseller. I had to reprint the course numerous times. People from all over the world were listening to it and “awakening” to new levels. People who were having problems discovered the secret to solving all problems.

As a result of the course’s popularity, I decided to turn it into a book. The result is what you are now holding. May it liberate you from all problems and lead you to the happiness you seek—the very happiness that is at the heart of your own awakening.

Chapter 1

What to Expect

Aude aliquid dignum. (Dare something worthy.)

—Latin motto, sixteenth century

What would you dare to do if you couldn’t lose? What would you dare to be if you were guaranteed unconditional success? What would you dare to have if there were absolutely no limits? What would you dare?

It’s time to dare something worthy. Welcome to The Awakening Course. Whether you’re an avid follower of my message or are new to my personal development regimen, congratulations. By taking this first step, you have opened your life to limitless possibilities.
