Evolving Beyond Thought: Updating Your Brain's Software

It allows me to consider my thoughts.

An insightful, illuminating, well-researched and thoroughly enjoyable book about deconstructing the illusory self. Thank you Gary Weber for this beautiful text.

Disappointing cut and pasted text. Trading off previous titles.

Pure wisdom

If you look for hippy stuff that helps you to understand how to live... that's your book. Just cheap self-help empty words to collect money. Don't waste your time/money on this.

This book is designed to offer a way out of the seemingly endless drama of suffering, anxiety, confusion, fear, anger and greed that our species has skillfully normalized over the years.The core of the book focuses on utilizing the Ribhu Gita, an ancient nondual text, as a powerful tool for the removal of these problems from our everyday lives and as a stepping-stone for our evolution. The text was a favorite of Ramana Maharshi who urged his devotees to read it even if they did not fully understand it.Thirty-two verses were chosen focusing on addressing some outdated concepts at the root of our suffering: “Am ‘I’ these thoughts?”, “What is this mind?”, “Am ‘I’ this body?”, “What problems arise from these beliefs?”, “What am ‘I’?” and “What are the benefits of this knowledge?”.Each verse is followed by extensive discussion and transliteration allowing the reader an opportunity to learn to chant the lines, which is believed to deepen the understanding of the realizations that manifest through this work.Other areas of focus in the book include, self-inquiry, letting go of attachments, surrender, free-will, confirmation bias, and the practicality of this work for people in the “real world” with demanding jobs, responsibilities, families, and commitments.There is a deeper form of happiness and wellbeing that isn't contingent upon merely reiterating our pleasures or avoiding pains, and this book can aid in that discovery. When diligently applied, these teachings can have a profound effect on consciousness and result in a tremendous sense of love, trust, and stillness.

It is very clear as She states, “If our species doesn’t change its software, it will not go well for us.”With the obvious seeing in society of anxiety, depression and mental health disorders on the rise, this book explains just HOW to debug our old “operating system” and “upload” a new one. A real guidebook, practical, full of precious wisdom.Beautiful verses can be read over and over. Something you will find in your presence at all times. Lots of questions that arise are answered in the back and explain cognitive changes that occur.

 “Evolving Beyond Thought” complements the authors YouTube videos, blog, and other books (Please check them out if you have not already!)How greatly manifested this gem.Uncaused Happiness Is real.Surrender what you think you are into the mystery of truth.

A true spiritual classic with priceless value to the serious spiritual practitioner/seeker. With the use of ancient and contemporary Advaita teachings, modern science and his remarkable personal experience, Gary Weber gently directs us to the truth of our own existence. The result is accessing the uncaused joy of Being, and freedom from the shackles of deeply ingrained false beliefs that perpetuate human suffering. A recurrent analogy in this book is to view our brain as a highly sophisticated computer hardware that, unfortunately, is riddled with outdated 'buggy' software programs (I am this body, I am my thoughts & emotions, I am the doer of my actions) and all its associated fears, anxieties, etc. He guides us in how to replace this old software with a new updated, vastly improved and better functioning program that can access the untapped potential of this hardware(human brain). This analogy represents a shift to a state of uncaused peace/wellbeing/happiness/love, grounded in the Now, with improved day to day functionality to meet the demands of modern life.This book is a real gem.
