Samadhi: Unity of Consciousness and Existence (Existence - Consciousness - Bliss)

This is my third book by the author. I was so impressed by his works, that I decided to proceed my acquaintance and I am completely happy with my discoveries, knowledge received and positive changes in my life that followed inevitably.Samadhi: Unity of Consciousness and Existence is a book which helps to understand the role of man as the central figure in the relation between the consciousness and existence.The author has done an immense job structuring the book. Each subsequent chapter harmoniously follows from the previous one, accumulating concepts, clarifying and giving a deep understanding of the context. You will find the information on the nature of existence, the dimensions of nature, unity of the consciousness and existence, and a lot of other amazing things, which will become closer, clearer and so understandable, on the pages of this very special read.Of course, you can easily find out Samadhi’s notion online, but the main thing here is not to read the words, but to feel it inside. This book teaches you how to achieve this as well.I don’t want to spoil, but the chapters “The energetic chakra activation” and “The law of number seven and the seven chakras” left an indelible impression on me. You will have the possibility to discover the microcosmic nature of man, the Yoga system of chakras and the essence of Patanjali's practice of yoga.Personally, I to the fullest enjoyed the very structured analysis of the only correct position for meditation, and why we can call meditation - the mental hygiene.If you seek more understanding of the unity of consciousness and existence, if you want to know more about your life changes and it’s connection with different realities, if you want a better understanding of the nature of our thoughts, actions and the whole life experience, this book should not be missed!

Love the font size used in the hardback. It's very insightful and a good read.

I like this book, I only wish that the interpreter had a better command of English.Nevertheless, once you UNDERSTAND what “ Consciousness and Existence “ mean, there will be smooth sailing until you come across the author’s philosophical explanation of the same. He goes all the way to China to explan the same thing over and over, everytime from a different angle😊. If you understand what Consciousness and Existence mean you will let him get away with this redundancy.The book is full of salient points on what Samadhi is. And the author tells you what Samadhi is over and over which is not a bad idea because they all add up to a concrete understanding that will be irrefutable.I may be biased because I have been practicing Yoga for over 35 years, but nevertheless…I LIKE THIS BOOK.

Samadhi: Unity of Consciousness and Existence by Ivan Antic explains the connection between modern quantum physics and the Eastern philosophies of Buddhism and Hinduism. If you ever thought there was no connection between science and spiritual philosophy, this book will reveal a different way of looking at these topics. Samadhi or "spiritual awakening" provides a path for consciousness to access the quantum field (akasha). Living in an informed universe, consciousness produces all phenomena that is held in potential in the "void" of the vibratory energy (dark energy or dark matter, we can suppose). Consciousness is the ground of being and creates the phenomenal world. "Consciousness is the foundation of everything," states Antic. Matter exists as both wave-like and particle-like -- a wave until it is observed, and then it becomes particles we call "matter."If this is your first attempt at linking ancient wisdom/knowledge with modern science/quantum physics, you will find this book extremely easy to comprehend and very enlightening. I highly recommend it.

A great example of a book where experience is at the forefront, and the theory serves only as a framework and language support to express the experience.The author does not nudge the reader with empty words. The power of his insight leads you through all the pages. This strength gives the confidence to the reader to accept even the claims that go beyond academic scientific attitudes. For example, that there is no multitude of particles but that the whole nature is a manifestation of only one "divine particle" that is currently manifested in all forms so that it seems to us that there is a multitude of them. Fascinating and prosperous. Why not? All the great spiritual teachings tell us that all is One. How else would the One exist?I recommend this book to anyone who is brave enough to think freely. This book will not be appreciated by the mediocrities.

It’s a fairly short book (a little over 100 pages) but has a ton of information in this book that is a part of a series of books. I really like the flow of Ivan’s writing. It’s very in depth but comprehensive. I understand it’s more important to have the experience to understand, but I find myself blocking myself from the experience because I need to understand. A few of Ivan’s books have helped me understand quite a bit so that I can allow the experience to come.

I thought the book was very informative although it was homophobic and sexist. The grammar was also really bad.

In the book, the author Ivan introduces the concept of Samadhi which is described as unity of consciousness or enlightenment. He also describes the process to reach that stage by activating higher chakras until one reaches the peak. Also it explains some simple, yet very useful meditation exercises to this effect. Relatively new to this domain, i found this book quite simple to read, as author Ivan Antic gave some clear and simple exercises which is again easy to understand and remember. Not to say, it's an easy read but worth investing the time and hope it rewards me over time..
