This book is only for the most advanced Advaitin seekers. It is recommended that both FROM THE I TO THE ABSOLUTE and CONSCIOUSNESS/AWARENESS be read (in that order) and that the pointers in both of those books be understood before reading FROM THE ABSOLUTE TO THE NOTHINGNESS.
An understanding of the pointers offered in this book can allow the advanced seeker to shift even beyond SELF-Realization, even beyond an understanding of Consciousness and Awareness, and even beyond the Absolute.

Dave B., Texas, U.S.: “I read fictional books nowadays for entertainment, but this was the final book that ‘I’ NEEDED to read.”
Brian H., the U.K.: "I recently ordered "From the I to the Absolute" which only took 7 days to reach the UK. Floyd, thank you for your "life changing" book. It's a wonderful gift to the world and it's helped me to finally understand who I truly am and also the extent of my learned ignorance and domestication by society. Thank you again Floyd and I'll eventually be reading all of your books. Kind regards, Brian"
“Who Am I?” “What is this all about?” The Original Understanding that is now accessed via the Advaita Teachings intuitively provided the answer to those type questions for thousands if not millions of years, but most Advaita teachers today typically offer an assortment of discussions on a variety of topics. Others present only an overview of the Teachings. All of those have make the Teachings clear to many, but for me, I read most of the best known books and didn’t “get it” until I had my seven-part vision. Then, all of the works I’d read finally made sense. All of the topics that had been discussed in no particular order in the books I’d read finally became clear when my vision arranged them in their proper, seven-step sequence. This book provides for the first time ever the specific steps in the specific order that allows for the shift from body identification and the transcending of mental identities, moving beyond religious and spiritual identities, beyond the Child Ignorance stage to witnessing and to knowing the True Self, and then beyond beingness and non-beingness to a clear understanding of the Absolute and the functioning of the Totality.

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS "PEACE OF MIND"
(There Is Only Peace if You're Out of Your Mind)
explores the history of the human brain, including the fact that for millions of years, human and human-like beings functioned without any mind. The book uncovers the ways that the brain evolved over the ages and developed an ability to store and retrieve memories. It then shows how the original memories were used constructively but how programming and conditioning changed all that and created a "mind" that most often overrules the brain and generates relative-existence harm and destruction.
Similarly, the book shows the way that personality develops during childhood as a means for survival and adaptation but later becomes a liability when those childhood personality traits continue to drive adult thinking and behavior.
Ultimately, the book shows why Advaitin sages for centuries have correctly identitifed the "problems of the planet" as being rooted in body-mind-personality identification and offers suggestions for being free of all of that nonsense via Realization.

CONSCIOUSNESS/AWARENESS:
The Nature of Reality Beyond Self-Realization
(Peace Every Day When Abiding as the Absolute)
"The Final Frontier" of the Advaita Teachings is transitioned when the Nature of Reality is understood and when the Advaita Teachings are "applied" on a daily basis even in the absence of any "Applier." The Final Understanding happens post-Self-Realization, and the nature of Reality cannot be understood until the nature of Consciousness/Awareness is understood. Understanding the Nature of Consciousness allows for abidance in the I AM, but what of THAT Which Is beyond, and that which is beyond the beyond?
Only abidance as the Absolute allows for the remainder of the manifestation of Consciousness to happen in Perfect Peace.
This book will distinguish explain how "Consciousness and Awareness" relate to "I Am THAT; I AM" and will define the exact Nature of Reality, will offer explanations that will allow Full Realization to happen, will allow for an understanding of the Functioning of the Totality, and will assist all earnest seekers to find the way to fixate in a state of peace from NOW until the Consciousness Unmanifests.

AN OVERVIEW
The order in which the books listed above and below are to be read and how to get them at a package rate:
Consider the Meditation CD, the Meditation Guides, Bullshit, and Spiritual Sobriety to be a “Beginner’s Package,” providing a foundation from which persons can begin to consider realities that are beyond the beliefs which they accept unquestioningly as a result of their enculturation. Used as a group, the works encourage inquiry (which is at the core of the Advaita approach) where questioning has not occurred before. [See MAKE YOUR OWN PACKAGE below.]
Consider Peace of Mind, Liberation, What Happens When I Die? and The Essence of the Teachings to be a “Mid-Level Seekers” Package, freeing seekers of the false identification with body and mind and personality and explaining the basic terminology that must be understood before moving to the advanced teachings. [See MAKE YOUR OWN PACKAGE below.]
Consider From the I to the Absolute, Consciousness/Awareness, and From the Absolute to the Nothingness to be an “Advanced Seekers” Package. From the I to the Absolute can serve as a guide for earnest and capable seekers, putting the teachings into an orderly context that reveals the exact steps that must be taken in an exact order to move through all of the degrees of separation from belief in the false “I” to Realization. Consciousness/Awareness offers the next level of understanding, explaining that which is beyond the beingness and how happiness can manifest each day via the understanding. Finally, From the Absolute to the Nothingness will allow earnest and capable seekers to understand the state that is even prior to beingness and non-beingness, even prior to the Absolute. The seeker who understands the content of this book will realize how it is that—from a state of non-existence or nothingness—everything in this universe (and all universes) came to be.
