Human Buddha: Enlightenment for the New Millennium (Aziz Kristof) 5

This book is not for the simple seeker. Its distinction in clarity and understanding, that is directly understood only at the level of ones evolution and need for understanding, and in fact some level of intelligence, is unparalleled and never seen before.

Aziz takes us through the entire process of Enlightenment, what it really entails, and I mean Really, what the different stages and levels of realization are, and offers the most direct, crystal clear, and sensible path to embracing it. He demystifies very correctly the entire tradition of Enlightenment till date, gives credit where credit is due, and exposes that which is simply confusion and incorrect teaching where such is observed.

While Totality is certainly the only truth at the highest level, the relative truth is still our truth and always will be as long as we are incarnated. We are not incarnated by some flaw of the universe and our purpose is not simply to transcend and forget everything about this dimension, it is to live in our duality, to live as a human, to understand what it means to be human, but to have energetic union on various levels and crystal clear understanding of who we are and why we are here.

Those who are infatuated with concepts of "No Self", and simply want liberation, want the pain to stop, and believe in a one-moment of grandeur theory of enlightenment would not like nor understand this book. This book is about wholeness and transcendence, about cutting out of the human ignorance into realization and union with the Divine, with the eternal Self, while not staying there for that is not the complete reality as is true from the perspective of where we truly abide - in this dualistic incarnation - but returning to what it means to be human, acknowledging the natural common sense of what it means to be human, while remaining in the embrace of the Divine. Those who are strongly affiliated with one tradition or path or the other naturally are not seeking Truth - for a true seeker would see that all traditions point to the truth in some way, but all have different understandings, ideas, and paths, some even denouncing each other. If you seek your idea of Reality, your idea of enlightenment, your idea of liberation, or simply liberation from the plane of Time-Space-dual humanness, you will not like this book nor understand it, let alone connect with it. If Reality is what you seek, first and foremost, if blissful union while remaining true to yourself, and indeed, you do exist, is what your heart longs for, then this book will not fail you, it will be the end of your search.

The clarity and understanding of this book is phenomenal. The first 1/4 of the book is guided meditation. As someone has said, the real meat of the book is in the Q&A part of the book, which is the remaining 3/4th. Find all your confusions about the traditions and ideas of enlightenment put to quiet and correct rest.

This is the third book in Aziz's series. Enlightenment Beyond Traditions is a good introductory book, this book is more advanced. This is currently the most advanced book on Transcendence and the understanding of what it means to be human, and what it means to be an enlightened being, A Human Buddha. Transmission of Awakening is out of print, and for those seeking to find an expensive copy, I would recommend simply buying this book. Transmission of Awakening has some material that is different, but the essence is the same, and it is an older book with less meat. This book is sufficient.

Lastly, I would recommend keeping an eye out for Aziz's next upcoming book. His understanding and teaching on the basics is the same, the model is the same, though through experience with students some clearer distinctions and applications and methods are constantly being formed. His website, [...] contains a very boiled down version of the upcoming book, but of course with a teaching as comprehensive as this, the book will likely be a far more valuable resource.

I am truly graced to have found Aziz (now Anadi) and his teachings, a truly genuine being, fully realized, and the only fully realized being to have a crystal clear understanding of what it means to be realized and what it means to be a human who is realized, and the full integration of the normal and supernormal aspects of the awakened human.

Human Buddha: Enlightenment for the New Millennium (Aziz Kristof) 5

Aziz Kristof is now Anadi Kristof. He came out of self imposed seclusion last year. Anadi lives in Almora, in the north of India and holds spiritual retreats, all over the world, the latest of which is in Israel.

Before going into seclusion, He had authored two books - The Human Buddha and Transmission of Awakening, and co-authored another book Enlightenment Beyond Traditions with his soul brother Houman Emani.

Simply put The Human Buddha is the most advanced book on seeking you will ever find. Yes, this book is even more advanced than Nisargadatta Maharaj's I am That, by whom Aziz was profoundly impacted. If you have reached this far, then consider it to be an act of providence. Read this book, and prepare to be transformed. The first half (1/5th of the book) consists of Aziz's guided meditations, in which He talks about absolute meditation, and living in the present. The second half (most of the rest of the book) consists of question/answer sessions in which Aziz answers the questions of His disciples.

At the fag end of the book comes a short, but profoundly inspiring autobiographical account, in which Aziz, talks about His early childhood, His growing up years, how He had to compulsorily serve in the army, His subsequent escape and travels throughtout Asia, and His final journey to India. He finally attains enlightenment in Kerala, to the south of India.

Unlike most other masters (many of them genuine) who seek to assemble large groups of disciples around themselves, Aziz has no such ambitions. He wants to keep His work private, and open to only the genuine seeker, not someone who is looking for thrills or a sense of mystery. While this limits His appeal, it also makes Him more open and available to the genuine seeker. After reading this book, if you feel that your search has ended, contact Aziz (Anadi) at the below website, and experience the fullest and most comprehensive teaching of enlightenment

This book is hard to find but well worth the effort and wait. Order it from Motilal Banarsidass in India. It will cost only $23 including shipping! If you follow Aziz' techniques and put in the hard work you will go far.

Human Buddha: Enlightenment for the New Millennium (Aziz Kristof) 5

This large book consists of two parts. The first 1/4 to 1/3 is Aziz' guided meditation. There is some insightful material but the real meat of this book is in the remainder which is question and answer which is grouped into chapters of like questions/answers. An amazing book, something like Nisargadatta's "I Am That", that I would return to time and time again.
