Essence is a revolutionary book in its synthesis of Western and Eastern approaches to psychological and spiritual development. But it is not primarily an abstract or theoretical work. Almaas seems to be speaking from direct personal experience, and his words, like all expressions of the perennial wisdom, have the simple power and the sonorous ring of truth. As its title suggests Essence explores essential reality as the truth of who we are when we move beyond ego, or personality. Almaas' work draws upon knowledge from diverse ancient and modern spiritual traditions and from the most sophisticated current psychological theory. Almaas demystifies enlightenment, helping us to see it not as some mysterious event, but rather as a down-to-earth, understandable process with definite stages and signposts - a process in which the personality gradually releases its grip on our being, and allows essence to emerge and transform the personality itself.
