Aware Digest is like a Cliffs Notes of Consciousness. We like things sharp and to the point. After all, since we’re already on information overload, why add to it?
When Swami Satchidananda came to America, he was asked if he was a Hindu. His reply: “No, I am an ‘Un-Do.’ You have already done enough.”
Likewise, Aware Digest is dedicated to helping us un-do and get out of our own way.
Letter from the Editor
We feel that the journey to Self Realization, while requiring commitment, discipline, and perseverance, should also be full of lightness and laughter along the way. As British author C. K. Chesterton said, “Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.”
I was very fortunate to have known and learned from such light- hearted angels as Alan Watts, Werner Erhard, Osho, Swami Satchidananda, and other masters whose humor and wit matched their wisdom.
I also owe a debt of gratitude to Bill Bernbach, the founder of the world’s greatest creative advertising agency— the original and legendary Doyle Dane Bernbach. It was there that I learned the art of applying brevity, humor, and panache to media communication and am forever grateful for that experience.
