If you've ever longed for knowing the experience of liberating your consciousness from identifying with your mind and body and letting it float in the primordial state of "non-causal" peace, bliss, love, wonder and oneness, then follow the trail that Dr. Gabriel Cousens has blazed for you.


This intrepid "spiritual warrior" has forged a path to the Holistic Liberation Way, through years of courageous, fearless and intensive spiritual intention and meditation. His astonishing new book Into the Nothing: A Spiritual Autobiography, reveals the mystical wild ride he personally took to becoming liberated, surrendering to "the Divine Urge" to fully merge into the state of God-consciousness and awaken to living from the soul that is beyond the body and the mind.

Today, this 77-year-old world renowned holistic physician, rabbi, yogi, spiritual mystic, psychiatrist, family therapist, vital-@-any-age advocate, humanitarian and peace ambassador, walks the planet in the state of Eternal Presence seeing the emanating light from all things, and yet living in the very real world where his good works and spiritual guidance change lives daily. He lives, as he says, in the world between Nothing (the world beyond time) and Something (the temporal world)-and experiences a fully integrated life in multiple dimensions-happy, joyful, grateful, loving and peaceful without any exterior reason (non-causal) because that is the nature of the primordial consciousness. There is found the true freedom.

How Cousens got there is what makes this fascinating book such an adventure!

Beginning with his dawning awareness of spiritual empowerment on the football field as a College Football Hall of Famer and captain on the undefeated 1964 Amherst College Team, he progressed to experiencing the holistic nature of mind and body through his highly successful psychiatry, family therapy and holistic medicine practices. 

Drawn like a magnet by an inner urging to explore consciousness -- to "know God" --he began a deep dive into the Yogic Way of Life, including seven years immersed in an India ashram under the tutelage of Swami Muktananda Paramahansa and then Swami Prakashandda Saraswati. It was there, amidst six hours a day of meditating; mystical visions; traditional Vedic teachings; and, most importantly, a world-altering "Shaktipat" energy transference from his guru -- that he broke through to freeing his consciousness to dissolve into the Nothing, leading to acknowledgement by his two spiritual masters that he was "liberated." And to begin the dance of returning whenever he wanted, ultimately to live from that state permanently, and simply follow in every moment, the direction that the divine pointed him toward. 

On the last day of a 40-day fast, Dr. Cousens was guided to "return to his roots," and that led him to understand the Torah was another path to liberation. And most specifically, the Kabbalistic and Essene teachings that are the most mystical aspects of Judaism. Becoming a rabbi after 12 years of study, he experienced liberation though this path of teaching as well. 

And then his path took him toward the Native American tradition, where he braved the extreme spiritual trials of initiation to becoming a 4-year Native American Sun Dancer and Eagle Dancer and an 11-year Spirit Dancer. Ultimately adopted by the Lakota Sioux Horn Chip Clan, and appointed head of the Yellow Horse Clan, he found the bliss of this path to ultimate consciousness as well.

But Into the Nothing: A Spiritual Autobiography is way more than an absorbing personal journey of awakening, highlighted by an extraordinary rich revelation of miracles and mystical adventures.
