We are the environment that we exist within.This book explores the experience of radical inclusivity - the direct recognition that everything is always included as part of a larger whole. Radical inclusivity opens a perceptual awareness that is grounded in non-separation, wholeness and continuity, and offers an essential antidote to many of the challenges that our world currently faces. This view offers the foundation for an ecological vision that can move us beyond an exclusively human perspective by demonstrating that we are one with everything. We are inseparable from the whole that surrounds us because we are that whole. We are the environment that we exist within. What happens to our surroundings is happening to us, and what happens to us, happens to everything around us. This potential shift in perspective offers a new way to think about who we are and how we affect the world around us. The writing style is personal, fluid, fast moving, and at times poetic because a new consciousness can only be articulated using words that point beyond their literal meaning. This book is meant to initiate an inquiry and inspire you to examine your own experience more deeply than you ever have before.

In this book, you will explore the miracle of meditation, which is simply the recognition that you can always be perfectly content even when your mind is not. The freedom that you discover through this insight is yours as soon as you are willing to embrace all aspects of life. The guidance you receive in these pages will release your attention from the hypnotic trance of fear, worry and self-concern, until you come to rest in the deep and abiding peace of pure consciousness.You are what you seek, is the underlying message of this book. Each chapter offers a different perspective that further illuminates the subtle terrain of spiritual liberation. As you read, you will be led to the awareness beyond awareness, where you are always already free, clear and awake-but the freedom of mind you discover in meditation is only the beginning of the journey. Once your mind is free of its limiting assumptions, you will open to extraordinary realms beyond the familiar; energies and perceptions that lead into extraordinary realms of higher consciousness. You will learn to recognize and follow the delicate energies and sensibilities of higher wisdom, and this is the essence of spiritual life. This book explores the wisdom of awakening using simple and easily understood language. Before you realize it, you will have entered a journey of transformation that opens the doorway to the miraculous.

In this book you will find a concise and yet deeply comprehensive introduction to a form of meditation taught by Jeff Carreira, and called The Practice of No Problem. This form of meditation is deceptively simple. It asks only that you sit and not make a problem out of anything that occurs, no matter what. It may seem hard to believe that instructions this simple, literally asking you to do nothing at all, could offer any real benefit, but nothing could be further from the truth. These simple instructions, if followed with relentless consistency, have the power to liberate you from habitual patterns of reactivity to fear, worry or self-concern. And as you learn to abide in the deep state of equanimity and peace that you discover, you will be led deeper into the mystery of being to the very threshold of awakening.

This book will unlock your mind from the unquestioned assumptions that cement us in an unchanging reality. Paradigm Shifting is a powerful guidebook for anyone who is ready to liberate their imagination from the constraints of our current philosophical paradigm. Once we do, we can act as 'Artists of Possibility' who articulate new perspectives and create roadmaps for the future. The ideas and thought experiments Jeff Carreira presents will catalyze cognitive and perceptual shifts that give you access to profound creative potentials."Reading this book is a risky proposition. It has the power to initiate a process of inquiry that could lead to de-selfing. Carreira writes lucidly and with the authority of someone who has experienced this for himself. The good news is that it left him and will leave the careful reader with a radically liberating way of orienting to the world. You get the sense that the universe is finding its way back to its own unified and unifying consciousness through this intelligent articulation of reality."- Bruce Sanguin, psychotherapist and author of The Way of the Wind: The Path and Practice of Evolutionary Christian Mysticism"Jeff Carreira's invitation to wormhole inquiry allows us to examine the metaphysical assumptions that underlie the current paradigm and constrain our worldview."- Bonnitta Roy, Associate Editor, Integral Review Journal
