With hundreds of books on the market today urging readers to develop mindfulness, pointing to the condition of "awakening" that most religious/philosophical traditions aim toward, this new addition by Red Hawk stands head and shoulders above the crowd. It offers detailed practical guidelines that allow one to know with certainty–not from imagination, theory, thought, or lying–when one is Present and Awake; it details the objective feedback mechanisms available to everyone for attaining this certainty: Am I awake now? How do I know? Sincere readers will find that help in answering these two questions is invaluable and life-changing. Written from the perspective of a practitioner of more than thirty years–one who has studied the significant work of his predecessors, received instruction from two spiritual masters (Osho Rajneesh and Mister Lee Lozowick), and trained rigorously within daily life. This book is the first detailed examination of the Practice-of-Presence (called "self remembering" in the Gurdjieff tradition). The author's aim is to give general guidelines in this practice, discuss its implications, and then offer specific instruction. Self Remembering: The Path to Non-Judgmental Love is meant to be a companion piece, volume ii, to the author's previous book Self Observation: The Awakening of Conscience, which is fast becoming a classic. Taken together, they present the most detailed examination of the practice available in English. He clearly points out that self remembering is only one half of a foundational spiritual practice called "self observation/self remembering." Where other authors/teachers have gone wrong in the past is to take only one half of this practice and consider it the whole, entire unto itself. Mister Gurdjieff's student, A.R. Orage (1873-1934), made this mistake with self observation; contemporary teacher Robert Burton made a similar error with his book, also titled Self Remembering. While P.D. Ouspensky speaks of the practice of self remembering in his seminal book In Search of the Miraculous, and Rodney Collin in The Theory of Celestial Influence, there has not been a book-length study on self remembering that examines the practice from the many angles that Red Hawk's does. His chapters cover such diverse yet integrated topics as The Removal of Self Importance; Kaya Sadhana or the wisdom of the body; and Separation Grief, i.e., addressing the terror of our current situation without denial or dramatics. Review: Powerful - Insightful and moving Review: All you really need to awaken - Just about the best inner work books out there. And I have thousands of pages of thick, dense books, but most are abstract ideas and there comes a time when ideas do nothing and only the most simple and direct teachings satisfy. That's why I absolutely LOVE these two books. If I could take three books for a lifetime of teachings, all I would need would be these two, and probably "The Unfolding Now" by Almaas. I may have left the 4th Way but it lives on through these great works. Thank you Red Hawk.

Very good book if you are really making efforts for coating
Very good book if you are really making efforts for coating. His observation about first work on develope a sensing point on body, as a center of gravity for then expand to self observation and split of attention are so vivid expressed. A book with the force of a long way of experience. But, as Red Hawk would say, that its my impression you best: verify, verify, verify for your Self.

Companion to Red Hawk's book "Self Observation". Finally, ...
Companion to Red Hawk's book "Self Observation". Finally, a more comprehensive and definitive book of Self Remembering is out there, and this book is thorough. I read it simultaneously with the other book "Self Observation", and Red Hawk illustrated why these practices are essential in touching Objectivity. Objectivity is God.

To Know Thy Self
This is my second Red Hawk book after "Self Observation" and "Self Remembering" is another level of Red Hawk's insight into the Work by Gurdjieff and his own self-development of Presence. Red Hawk writes with humor, self honesty and clarifies the philosophy and benefits of self observation.

Excellent book - easy to read & understand
Wish I would have had this book sooner.....explains a lot of Work ideas in a much simpler, straight forward explanation. Highly suggest this for anybody who wants to go further w/the Gurdjieff & the various 4th Way books.

Spirituality made easier to understand...
Almost as good as his first book on this topic (Self-Observation...). This will be another book I read more than once because it has been a help in my spiritual progress.
