What does it mean to be enlightened and, what does it mean for you? Have you bought into the idea that enlightenment is only reserved for ascetics wearing white robes, hidden away in Himalayan caves? If so, think again! Enlightenment Myth-Busting, Seeing Through the Lies That Bind is here to shatter the myths that have held you back from your own self-realization. In this eye-opening book, Julie Hoyle dismantles the misconceptions that have woven themselves into our understanding of enlightenment, especially in the Western world. She challenges the notions that you must adopt a spiritual persona, be a vegetarian, meditate every day, or follow certain practices to attain what is already here, as your natural birthright. Instead, drawing from the wisdom of her own radical spiritual awakening and in-depth inquiry, Julie guides you to explore everyday signs, symbols, and messages that surround you, all pointing you towards the truth: you are as perceptive, as intuitive, and as guided from within as the sages of old.
