About this ebook
This book is an in-depth examination of the much needed process of
“self” study known as self observation.
We live in an age where the “attention function” in the brain has been
badly damaged by TV and computers-up to 90 percent of the public
under age 35 suffers from attention-deficit disorder! This book offers the
most direct, non-pharmaceutical means of healing attention dysfunction.
The methods presented here are capable of restoring attention to a fully
functional and powerful tool for success in life and relationships.
This is also an age when humanity has lost its connection with conscience. When humanity has poisoned the
Earth’s atmosphere, water, air and soil, when cancer is in epidemic proportions and is mainly an environmental
illness, the author asks: What is the root cause? And he boldly answers: Failure to develop conscience! Selfobservation,
he asserts, is the most ancient, scientific, and proven means to develop this crucial inner guide to
awakening and a moral life.
This book is for the lay-reader, both the beginner and the advanced student of self observation. No other
book on the market examines this practice in such detail. There are hundreds of books on self-help and
meditation, but almost none on self-study via self-observation, and none with the depth of analysis, wealth of
explication, and richness of experience which this book offers.
Red Hawk, author of 5 collections of poetry, was the Hodder Fellow at Princeton University (1992-93) and is
currently a full professor at the University of Arkansas, Monticello. He has practiced self-observation for over
30 years, under the guidance of the Gurdjieff Society of Arkansas, meditation master Osho Rajneesh, and
spiritual teacher, Lee Lozowick.

An absolutely stellar book on waking up. Red Hawk is on point all the way through. I don't know of another piece of writing on this subject where the author is consistently banging on the right door - sensation, sensation, sensation. We have to get out of our interlectual emotional consciousness if we are ever going to grow and transcend the restrictions of our mind. Thank you, Red, for writing such a helpful book.
