Review Quotes: "It would be, if enlightenment existed in time. But it exists in the present, before time even moves. Instant Enlightenment is a series of pointers to who you are in the timeless now. In other words, David Deida points directly to the present moment in which 'you' and 'God' are simply two names for the same openness in which the entire universe arises, an openness you can feel right now, if you know where to look. And Instant Enlightenment is the place to start. Instant enlightenment? Oh, I assure you, it's not hard to attain- and it's impossible to avoid. Want to find out why? And how? Dive straight into this book. Open to any page and read for two minutes, and you'll see that you are instant enlightenment. I'd offer a money back guarantee, but I wouldn't have any takers." --Ken Wilber, author of A Brief History of Everything and Integral Spirituality
