What is enlightenment? What is it not? This book exposes the myths and defines this misused term once and for all. Which teaching methods will get you there? And which will not? This book explains how the traditional methods work and why the modern, Western approaches are most unlikely to. The clearest book that has ever been written on the subject of enlightenment, it provides a detailed examination of the satsang phenomenon (and its more extreme, neo-Advaita variant), contrasting these approaches with the traditional methods passed down from teacher to disciple for over a thousand years. It indicates what is needed in the way of preparation and path in order to gain enlightenment, given some modern teachers' statements to the effect that there is 'no person' and 'nothing to do'. With a Foreword by Dr. Greg Goode, philosophical counsellor and one of the most knowledgeable people in the world on the subject of non-duality.

Reviews for Enlightenment
I am sure it will assist many who are becoming increasingly confused and disillusioned by Neo Advaita, and may turn to the traditional approach. ~Alan Jacobs, President of the Ramana Foundation UK I heartily recommend this book. ~James Swartz, teacher and author Dennis Waite offers necessary help to sincere seekers who wish to learn how to discern between the diamond-like brilliance of authentic Advaita-Vedanta, from the rhinestone approaches represented by popular neo-Advaita. ~Mariana Caplan, Ph.D., author of "Halfway Up the Mountain"This is a valuable addition to Advaitic literature and should be read by all those who are perplexed as to the truth of this noble tradition. ~The Mountain Path, TiruvannamalaiIn his new work: ENLIGHTENMENT, Dennis Waite rises to the challenge of this modern spiritual dilemma confronting the key issues between the traditional and modern approaches to Advaita/Non-Duality head-on. In this regard, he is a lone, rare voice, and should be commended for his diligent work. "oy Whenary, author of "The Texture of Being"
