Enlightenment for Beginners

Enlightenment for Beginners is the simple account of how and why you've been imaging yourself to be only a separate and limited being. Using clever but easily understood words and drawings, Hillig invites the seeker to discover that they are already who they’ve been looking to become and that a life of love and connection is already at hand. Although this deceptively uncomplicated book can be read in a sitting, its profound spiritual impact can last an entire lifetime. A wonderful gift for anyone who is on the spiritual path.

Chuck Hillig is a psychotherapist who has studied eastern philosophy for decades. He lives in Locust Grove, Virginia, not far from Fredericksburg.
