Does life feel like a dream you can’t quite wake up from?Most of us spend our lives building a fortress around an identity that doesn’t exist. We shut the windows and bolt the doors, and wonder why we feel claustrophobic. Within this fortress, we try to regain a sense of a paradise lost, only to find out we're chasing the gold at the rainbow's end.An Inquiry Into Reality is a humble invitation to stop chasing and start looking.This is not a guidebook with easy steps to happiness. It is not a promise of instant salvation. It is a companion for those who are ready to ask the two most fundamental questions of human existence: Why is there something instead of nothing? How am I involved in this 'something'? What You Will ExploreThrough a blend of philosophical contemplation and poetic insight, Jussi Niittyviita guides you through the layers of confusion that cloud our experience of existence. Paradise Lost: Understand why we feel a profound sense of separation and why our "gold-digging" for happiness in the external world often leaves us empty. The Hall of Mirrors: Investigate the "false sense of self"—the identity we built to be loved and accepted—and discover why it is the root of our restlessness. Absolute vs. Relative Realities: Learn to distinguish between the temporary dramas of daily life and the absolute stillness that underlies them. The Search for Unity: Discover why trying to "become" whole is futile, and how to recognize the wholeness that has always been under your feet. Is This Book For You?This book is written for the silent observers, the deep thinkers, and those who feel a "splinter in the mind" regarding the nature of reality.It is NOT for you if: You are looking for rigorous scientific facts. You want a "guru" to tell you how to live. You are completely satisfied with the surface-level explanation of life. It IS for you if: You are ready to question your own identity and perceptions. You suspect that who you think you are is not who you actually are. You are willing to embrace the "great silence" and the unknown. A clear and beautiful description of non-duality. "I'm embarrassed to admit how many nonduality themed books I have read, but An Inquiry Into Reality is among my all-time favorites. His writing is clear and compelling. What makes it compelling is how the "analytical self" (my term) can investigate the ideas and theories that are presented in this book and see if they accurately describe one's actual life. I also have written about the 'false-self' in great detail in my own book, Liberation from the Lie (no pitch intended - just emphasizing one of the reasons I so connected with this book), and really enjoy how this book added to my own understanding. Very highly recommended." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ Eric "This book offers the most persuasive metaphysical worldview I've read to date. It's the only nonduality book that I've found sensible." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ~ WMC Book PreviewIf you prefer physical books, the paperback version of An Inquiry Into Reality is available on Amazon, e.g. Amazon US or Amazon UK.About the AuthorJussi Niittyviita | 📚 Author of seven books | 👨👩👧👦 Father & husband | 🌍 Living and being in Lapland, Finland | Read his story here.Born in northern Finland, Jussi Niittyviita lived an ordinary life—education, career in software, marriage and two daughters—until a profound inner awakening at thirty‑four changed his perspective.
