Buđenje svijesti
One of the most influential and widely read books by Anthony de Mello, an Indian Jesuit and spiritual teacher, created from transcripts of his spiritual exercises and – lively, informal, provocative, full of humor, paradox, and sharp insights.
Imagine living in a dream—not a nightly one, but a deep, everyday dream where you do everything on autopilot: you fear loss, you love conditionally, you cling convulsively to images of yourself, the past, the future. And then someone—with a smile, humor, and unexpected sharpness—says: “Wake up!”
That’s exactly what Anthony de Mello, an Indian Jesuit, psychotherapist, and one of the most gifted spiritual teachers of the 20th century, does in his book Awakening Consciousness. This small but powerful book is not a dry theory—it’s a living conversation, full of stories, Zen parables, funny anecdotes, and direct insights. De Mello mixes Christian mysticism, Eastern wisdom, and contemporary psychology, all to awaken you from the illusion that you are who you think you are.
The main message? Most of us are not alive—we are asleep. We sleep in addictions, in fear, in false identities, in search of a happiness that is always somewhere else. True awakening is not about changing jobs, partners, or religions—it is about awareness: the alert, nonviolent observation of yourself and the world as they are, without judgment, without labels, without “shoulds.” When you observe thoughts like clouds in the sky, fears lose their power, love becomes free, and happiness—it is here, right now.
Through short, powerful chapters, de Mello guides you through themes that touch the core: how to stop being a prisoner of the past, how to love without possessiveness, how to accept suffering without destroying you, how to realize that God (or reality) is already here—you don’t have to look for it far away.
This book is not for those who want comfort—it is for those who want the truth, even when it burns. But it is in that burning that freedom lies. Millions of readers around the world testify: after a few pages, a few stories, something shifts. You begin to live more awake, lighter, more joyful—here and now.
Awakening Consciousness is a contemporary spiritual classic—a pearl that you read not just with your head, but with your whole being. If you're looking for a book that can gently (or not so gently) shake you and remind you that life is already perfect, you just need to see it with open eyes – this is that book.
