What if everything you believed about who you are was based on a case of mistaken identity?
What if your search for happiness has been keeping you from discovering true freedom?
In this transformative work, spiritual teacher Eli Jaxon-Bear cuts through centuries of confusion to reveal a profound truth: the source of human suffering isn’t in our circumstances, but in our fixation with a false sense of self. With penetrating clarity, he illuminates the path to recognizing our true nature—a recognition that dissolves the elaborate structures of ego and opens the door to lasting peace.
Drawing from decades of direct experience and work with seekers worldwide, Jaxon-Bear guides readers beyond the familiar territory of self-improvement into the revolutionary realm of self-realization. This isn’t about adding more strategies to your spiritual tool kit— it’s about seeing through the very mechanism that creates the illusion of separation and struggle.
Whether you’re new to the spiritual journey or have spent years in meditation and self-inquiry, Fixation to Freedom offers a direct pointing to what is already free, whole, and eternally at peace within you. This book isn’t just about understanding freedom—it’s an invitation to be freedom itself.
