Publisher's Synopsis
The goal of most Eastern Religions is to help seekers achieve some degree of spiritual liberation known as nirvana, satori or moksha. Despite this laudable aspiration, many of these paths provide a program - replete with rules, rituals and practices - all designed to achieve a predictable end. Given the nature of followership, Stephano poses a fundamental query: is there freedom in conformity? According to him, true freedom is a unique experience to each of us. It isn't a goal to achieve, but a state of innate consciousness already present in us. Yet, very few of us are will to accept its lucid, if stark reality as a gift. In simple terms, Heart of Freedom explains what spiritual liberation truly is and describes what Stephano says are skill states necessary to experience and maintain what he calls emanant freedom. Stephano suggests that all-encompassing love is the foundation of transpersonal emancipation that frees us from the shackles of ego limits and constraints. In this field of openness and generosity, our spirit soars as an expression of unlimited potential and deeply felt heartfulness.
