ARA Review by Santosuosso of In It Together
[Following is an OnlineBookClub.org ARA Review of the book, In It Together.]
In It Together: The Beautiful Struggle Uniting Us All by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes
Book's rating: 5 out of 5 stars
This book is well researched and a masterpiece. The writing style is coherent and fluid. It delves into the essence of life, giving answers superbly reasoned. The author gives examples and terminology representing messages to the core. His work is strikingly true. He gives other possible words and explanation of terms and meaning of the aspects under discussion. This book makes no supernatural or paranormal claims but grounds its principles in material reality, human intuition, and clear, collective consciousness, reason and truth. He describes the overwhelming possibilities life offers, promotes understanding and verbalizes concepts contemplating the divine beauty of life. He concentrates on, as the title says, we are “In It Together.”
The author encourages us to see the sum of the consciousness of all conscious beings in the universe. While monists would conjure-up such unification representing the truth, dualists would object, but this book is agreeable to readers of all religions including non-religion. This book seeks to help you in the suffering and struggles we endure as human beings and helps us to perceive preventable problems and avoiding man-made tragedies. The basic concept of this book is to give a philosophical and a psychological view of life through an unifying lens to attain political and spiritual freedom of non-violence which is a much broader and grander concept. It is for greater loving kindness, in which you happily choose to make great sacrifices in the here and now for the benefit of the would-be other.
The book opens with the fight of Voltairine, an American political philosopher (November 17, 1866 through June 20, 1912). She advocated anarchism in a non-sectarian way and opened our eyes suggesting that people of all denominations and creeds be treated equally. Her unifying approach was to attain political peace, equality, and freedom from all struggles and all human suffering and with that excluding chaos, upheaval, and absurdity where one person or group dominates another. The purpose of this book is to show how we should live our lives, and conjures up the views of great thinkers of decades ago; as example, Martin Luther King Jr. would march the streets of the United States, repeatedly get arrested, and eventually become assassinated for his similarly controversial message of love, peace, and human equality. A fight against pain, death, discomfort and something deeper, fundamentally spiritual.
This book has a character of its own. It is thought-provoking, insightful and the reader feels an immediate connection with the author. He constructs his insights in a form that links interpretation of facts on a continuum of possibilities intrinsically connected in meaning and power to change. With great admiration, I honour Mr Hughes, for his ability to dissect life and get known as one of the great thinkers of our time, through his masterpiece— this book. Here are a few concepts the author delicately explains with reflection of the truth:
Practice to unify your human self over time, then move on to spatial unity, meaning unifying all of humanity across the geography of the whole globe and beyond. Do understand the concept of a false self that can transcend to a higher self in oneness; let be the real you, which some would call “your soul.” This false self is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and urges. This delusion restricts us to free ourselves from this prison, by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty. The striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner peace as Albert Einstein said.
The concept of Two You’s and the undeniable conceptual line between them that can seem to call for a war, fight, or battle. A struggle against yourself. Your inner demons battling against you in your own human mind. Honour instinctive empathy and kindness versus more or less selfishness, stop the addictive cycle, a recurring pattern of self-abuse, our self-destructiveness. The concept of divine love finding the love that is your true self, is the cure against being spiritually lost.
See that life spreads out far beyond each individual's sphere of life. We see an intrinsically connected chain of possibilities of existence in this vast universe. Believe in the concept of oneness with the consciousness of another human being in same space, and time creates an extension of all human beings and souls. We live in unity of not just all spirits or all matter, but of all spirit with all matter. That idea is beautiful. Our paths are different but intertwined, reaching in our unique way towards the same sunlight.
We fight against our own bodies, nature, instincts and urges. In trying to control that which you cannot control, in fighting what inexorably is, you give up your inner peace and you give up the power you do have, most notably the power to keep your inner peace by not fighting the unchangeable. Do not fight. There is “A World of Problems”— starving children, innocent children who suffer the excruciating pains of poverty without freedom.
We should confirm reality through science which can be liberating and present a valued life for all. Believe the "real you" exists. The author says:” I believe when we break the shell and strip the clothes, you are there, existing. “…” I believe we can win the war, in a sense. More importantly, I believe we can find peace. An eternal peace. A transcendental peace. A living heaven in the eternal now. To find peace, simply stop fighting.”
