Summary: simple and true
Review: A lot of readers today are confused about enlightenment. Liberation has nothing to do with a person, and even less with perfection or holiness (as is suggested in a lot of books from the East). Chuck is one of those authors who is clear about it. Highly recommanded.Jan Kersschot, author of "Nobody Home"

Summary: not just for beginners..
Review: If you want a book that is straightforward and uncomplicated, here it is. Chuck's words and drawings point us to Home. Home being, that which we are, always were and always will be - whether we realize that or not. Timeless presence, as Tony Parsons calls it. Home, that place of no separation, no "me" and no "others". It is only a game of pretending to be a person, a black dot on a white screen, as Chuck says. The One pretending to play the game of two. Jan Kersschot, author of "Nobody Home"

Summary: Best introductory book on enlightenment ever written
Review: The sample pages don't provide an accurate measure of the greatness of this book. These pages lead up to an amazing conclusion, that can't be provided without spoiling the wonderful surprise. A much more accurate measure of the value of this book is provided by author Deepak Chopra's review (see the reviews of his many books to know the value of his opinion). "There are brilliant insights in Chuck Hillig's book. Even one of them could dramatically change your life.
"Deepak Chopra, M.D. (Quantum Healing) (and many others) Of all of life's experiences, this little book has the greatest beneficial influence on me. If you have been searching for enlightenment, then this book is required reading. No other book explains the underlying truth of enlightenment as clearly or concisely. Many people spend their whole life striving to attain the insights that this book provides in a few minutes of reading.

Summary: concise attempt to show our wrong personal identification
Review: This is a concise attempt to point to our wrong personal identification with this body-mind as a limited 'I', though infact this 'I' is 'infinite'. This book is only apparently simple. Though it is titled "Enlightenment for Beginners", I do not know if a real beginner will get its message. Probably, one who is already into this 'enlightenment' stuff, will find this a refresher course about the core principles of this 'enlightenment' game. The following three sentences in the one and only one essay in the book, on 'Reality' summarise the findings and approach to realization. "In order to be able to interact dramatically with these so-called "others", you have to first experience yourself as a disconnected ego. In short, you have to pretend to be playing out a role in this drama as a separate individual. In other words ... you have to be a "Person"! However, just like in the movie, the actial reality that underlies your "role-in-the-world" might also be like a kind of unbroken and seamless "screen", too. In truth, this very "Screen" that is supporting the dramatization of your individual "movie role" may actually be, deep down, WHO you really are! It may infact, be your very own true nature ! . . . . . Infact, the oldest eastern religions have long recognized this Great Illusion as "lila" . . . the "divine dance". By completely giving up his attachment to the role that he is playing in his life, the Seeker becomes awakened to the pure consciousness that he really always was all along. In a sense, he "becomes" the Screen itself by discovering that he alreadu is who he has been looking for ! " A few other important ideas are suggested to tell that the view of individuality is imagined. Well, this carton style presentation in the book and its message should make an interesting reading/browsing. While it might make a helpful reading, I am sure , it is not a serious companion for the entire journey of 'quest for knowledge' of one's own self. The book is over priced for what it can deliver. One should save money by borrowing the book than to buy it.
