(For Non-Duality Enthusiasts)
Living in the Present or Out of Your Mind?
What do you prefer?
From the back cover: When talking about living in the present, the mind turns it into a practice, which, interestingly enough, is an obstacle to peace.
We must recognize that we cannot turn living in the present into some sort of practice because the present moment is our ever-present experience. We must also realize that the cause of all suffering is not so much not living in the present but believing the content of the mind.
In this book, we are going to expose the falseness of the mind’s content so that peace, joy, and freedom, which is our natural inheritance, can be permanently experienced.
"Good morning Nick. I have just read your book LIVING IN THE PRESENT OR OUT OF YOUR MIND ¿WHAT DO YOU PREFER? for the second time. It is another gem in your collection, so didactic and understandable that it can help people who are not familiar with non-duality to begin to consider that they are not what they think they are and to at least begin to question the interpretations and judgments of the mind. On the other hand, for people who are familiar with non-duality, it can be of great help so that the Truth is established, or rather so that the obstacles are removed and the distractions diminish. THANK YOU!" -J. Sanvisens
"Hello dear Nick. I wanted to tell you that I saw that you published a new book and I bought it immediately. I read it on Kindle and I loved seeing that you summarize everything in such a spectacular way. Thank you for this gift that has helped me a lot to continue remembering and recognizing my true essence of Being." Karina B.
(For Course in Miracles Students)
What Happens When You Let God REWRITTEN
From the back cover: Seeing that happiness and peace can be experienced, even in some of the most challenging scenarios, gives testimony to the value of forgiveness.
But first, it is imperative to look at the obstacles to peace. That could be an extremely overwhelming experience, which the original version of this book did not address as clearly.
Also, this rewritten version makes two important distinctions: One, A Course in Miracles addresses the mind that is dreaming this dream of separation, not the individual. Second, it emphasizes that the Course is a non-dual teaching.
A Course in Miracles is an extensive body of work with an uncanny ability to say the same thing over and over again in its thousand-plus pages with flawless precision and without any contradiction. As its message is being comprehended, it is seen that all that is doing is looking at the ego’s thought system from every possible angle, unveiling its mask. Then, in a kind and loving manner, the Holy Spirit undoes its belief system, and consequently restores the mind to peace; to Truth.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
"I'm always deeply conflicted about what to recommend to a Course newbie. The most popular and accessible Course books, though helpful, are also deeply problematic in many respects and can and will ultimately hold you back. Of Course Kenneth Wapnick is the maestro, but he's not always the most accessible option for a newbie. I've just finished this short, clear, accessible, informed, metaphysically sound, no bullshit book by Nick Arandes. It should be required reading for every Course student and will be my go-to recommendation for anyone wanting to dip a toe into what A Course In Miracles is all about." -K. Kavanahg
(For Everyone!)
What Love Maybe is Not
From the back cover: If love is supposed to represent union and joy, why do people equate it with fear and suffering?
Assertions such as love hurt, I suffered at the expense of love, I am afraid to love, I have to sacrifice for love, and in extreme cases when people physically or psychologically hurt one another they attribute their behavior to some justification that involves the word love. In religious circles, it is said that God is love while simultaneously saying that God punishes. I heard a comedian say, “If you disobey God you will end up burning in hell or purgatory for the rest of eternity, but remember, the guy loves you.”
Where we observe the most contradictory behavior when it comes to love is undoubtedly in interpersonal relationships. Does that imply that love is contradictory? Why not consider the possibility that any contradictions may be because whatever we have learned about love may not be true?
This book is about how to let go of the fear that prevents us from experiencing love. But first, it will expose the most common beliefs about the subject so we can begin questioning if what we think love is, maybe, is not.
“Hello Nick, I just finished reading the book What Love Maybe Is Not; another marvel and fantastic. The impression it has made on me is that it enters the world of appearances to dismantle what we believe love is. And from this introduction, it advances and points to what love perhaps is in a loving, intelligible way. Even for those who are not versed in the psychology of non-duality or oneness, it is enjoyed, enriches, and makes you think; which is good. It is an awakening. Suitable for all people. Little by little they are seeds that are germinating and I have enjoyed it. It is wonderful.” -Josep S.
