Review by Edgar Cayce Association (A.R.E.)

By Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira.

Radical honesty is required to grasp Take Me to Truth: Undoing the Ego by Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira. The authors suggest that the “self” you think you are, is a mistaken identity – a separate thing that is mostly alone and afraid, desperately searching for fulfillment in people and objects outside of itself.

“What is that haunting feeling of incompleteness trying to tell us? It is in all of us, all the time; however, we keep ourselves too distracted…that we hardly dare tune in to it and listen deeply or intently to its call,” suggests Take Me to Truth. Using A Course in Miracles (ACIM) and other spiritual teachings, Nouk and Tomas suggest several steps that can help propel you from the duality and fear you have created to the oneness of Source.

“When the Buddha said, ‘I am awake,’ he did not mean he was amazingly alert and ready to manifest like hell,” says Gary Renard, author of Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality. “He meant that he realized he was not a figure in the dream; he was the maker of the entire dream.” Gary, who wrote the foreword to this exciting philosophical work, states: “The writing of Nouk and Tomas is uncompromising, exciting, and strikingly consistent. We cannot realize enlightenment while we still cling to our mistaken identity, the ego. The negative ego is the one adversary we face in life.”

Edgar Cayce continually encouraged people to look past the ego for peace and wholeness. When asked, “How can I be of help?” the Sleeping Prophet replied, “By being true to Self.” 934-6 There is no doubt that Cayce meant the Higher Self or the God Self: “If there is the directing of self by spiritual intent and purpose, the entity may go far. If there is only the ego and the self considered, great will be the fall of the entity.” 1668-1

Take Me to Truth suggests various methods to be free of ego attachments. Quantum forgiveness tops the list. Being in the present moment, dealing honestly with guilt, and use of the Enneagram are also discussed. Are paths, processes and tools useful? Anything that assists in the quest toward true wholeness is good. As ACIM clearly states, it is important to look directly at the thing you have called “I”, see it for what it is, and allow Spirit to remove the blocks to Love’s presence that you have created.

Nouk and Tomas call us to this Singular Unified Self. Their book highlights the realization that: “I am responsible for what I see. I choose the feelings I experience, and I decide upon the goal I would achieve. And everything that seems to happen to me I ask for and receive as I have asked.” (ACIM Text) Now I can practice Quantum Forgiveness, because if I created everything I see, no one has “done me wrong” – I’m simply forgiving what never happened in reality. Therein lies true Peace. We’ve tried it: It works!

As Take Me to Truth declares: “When you hear the unmistakable ‘Call to Truth’ you will summon the courage, commitment, and willingness to release the dream and reclaim your inheritance…this is the end of suffering…” This is true freedom!
