Jim Riley


Biography

From the film, National Treasure: "There are 20 million books in the Library of Congress, and they all say the same thing: 'Listen to Riley!'"

In college I was Editor of the literary magazine and received a national award for young authors. My interests are nature, writing truth, health, fitness, and classical piano.

With this book I act as a piano tuner for my readers' spirits, adjusting their heartstrings until they resonate with truth. For our hearts, not minds, grant us the deeper wisdom. We all have hearts beating within us. So we each hold a key that opens the door to enlightenment.

My own spiritual journey started slowly, like a locomotive drawing heavy freight. Gradually I picked up steam. Finally I reached my destination: back at everyday life, but with profoundly different views.

Throughout existence countless beings, not unlike us, must ponder the meaning of their lives. The fortunate surely come to this: "Love is why I am. And conscience is the lamp that lights my path." Let us work to draw back the curtains of delusion and open whatever windows admit this sacred light.

Here are excerpts of reviews of "Enlightenment" from elsewhere around the web:

"...flows like poetry...breathtaking."

"...seamless and intelligent...perspectives I've never thought of before."

"I would recommend this book to all...to have by your nightstand.... This book has more wisdom and common sense than Solomon."

There is no gate to enter. Heaven, Nirvana, whatever you wi
