From the Back Cover

Discover the mystery of how one seemingly insignificant little word can transform your life and change the world.

YOU are THIS shares the author's contemporary philosophy of One-duality wherein the phenomenal world is recognized as real, and the Non-dual direct experience of Awareness is realized to be the catalyst for actualizing the presence of your Authentic Soul.

We cannot 'remember' Awareness, because the true Non-dual experience takes place outside of time and space. It is not recalled through memory, simply realized to be the ever-present sweet perfume of Life. Following the Non-dual direct experience, a 'grounding' takes place because you are bringing THIS which was uncovered beyond the physical senses, back into the comprehension of those same senses, the Being into the consciousness of the Human, and the formless into form. In this way, Awareness is seen and felt to permeate all dimensions of being without negation of any aspect of who or what we are.

"There are no idle words in this book. Everything here has been tested in the fire. May this book bring you to THIS and to Authentic Doing." JULIAN DAIZAN SKINNER, Zen Master and founder of Zenways.org

"If you are familiar with contemporary non-duality teachings and looking for the next step (and there is one), take it with Jonathan Harrison who shows himself here to be a sure guide." WILLIAM WILDBLOOD, author of Meeting the Masters

"...a complete delight..." NIKKI DE CARTERET, author of Soul Power

CHAPTER 1

THIS Kingdom is Within You

What you are looking for is found within. But the paradox is, once you find it within, you realise that it's here, there, and everywhere. It's in the space directly in front of you now, in the stars floating across the night sky, and in the depths of planet Earth, for THIS is the foundation, substance and all-permeating Life-force of everything and nothing.

It's always closer than you think, because THIS is beyond thought. It's THIS – the here and now before you engage in thought. And yet, you can know and live THIS. For when the individual strips away the superfluous mental and emotional dross and merges with the Awareness of Universal presence, subject and object fade, and all is realised to be the One inseparable and indivisible THIS. And although it often seems hidden, it is no secret. It will cost you nothing, and everything. But if you really look with all your heart, you will find THIS, the Truth of what YOU are, the One True SELF.

We human beings have been seeking a deeper sense of identity for thousands of years. When guided by the ego, we have outwardly searched high and low, overlooking the Truth at our core. For within each one of us, there is the Divine everpresent foundation of Life itself, which can be glimpsed should we have the courage and determination to let go and dive into the depths of inner-being.

Throughout history, increasing numbers have suggested that what we are all seeking is THIS, the here and now – the transcendental Reality of Consciousness. It is here and now in you – but do you know that to be true? For it is one thing to understand, say or think, another to believe or hope, but to really know THIS means simply to realise it. Then it will no longer be an opinion you cling to, but an unshakeable Truth which simply IS. And although THIS is always here, that doesn't mean there is no need for you to look for it. For if you look deeply, with all your heart and soul, one day you will find THIS and the looking will be over, because there will be no seeker. The question of seeking something 'other' will no longer arise. You will realise and live THIS.

Awakening to the Awareness of the One True SELF arises from the individual diving into the Universal. The consequences of THIS are always the same, yet explained in a myriad of ways according to a number of factors; the timeline in history, the culture, philosophy, the individual's education and more. None of these matter in the end, for the fundamental and consistent message repeatedly reminds us there is only One Awareness, Source, Essence, Consciousness, Brahman, SELF, God from which all apparent forms
