The 7 Levels of Wisdom

A straightforward and compelling approach on how to reach the highest levels of consciousness, wisdom, and inner peace.

Most Westerners, it seems, don't relate to traditional Eastern spiritual practices, mainly because there is a disconnect between traditional Eastern approaches and modern society's mindset and current environment. In The 7 Levels of Wisdom, a path toward a more enlightened and fulfilling life is analyzed. Meant to expand both knowledge and awareness, this path offers the richness of Eastern philosophies tailored for the Western mind.

The 7 Levels of Wisdom covers different related topics crucial for understanding and leading a personal transformation, with an aim to inspire people to reach the highest levels of human consciousness, the most important goal, and to see it as something they can do, regardless of their responsibilities or life conditions. By assessing and describing the different stages of human consciousness, The 7 Levels of Wisdom will help its readers identify where they are on the progressive path toward enlightenment, as well as what lies ahead.
