Simpo,
Have you thought about writing a small booklet or blog or
website about your experiences from your particular point of
view... i think you have a unique point of view based on your new
age and buddhism understanding right? It may be a guide for others
with similar background.
He wrote an e-book before but from the I AM perspective before
he known Thusness. That was before 2004.
Maybe he should write another book.
Also, there is a very old e-book written by Longchen/Simpo
during/before year 2004, which may also be of interest. However it
is spoken from the understanding/experience of the I AM or Eternal
Witness, and his understandings and experience have since
changed:

Some excerpts:
The Eternal Watcher- The True Identity
In one ‘awakening’ meditation, I came to a state of no thoughts.
Such
experiences are very hard to describe. This is because the
explanation
process itself, is within the medium of thoughts and concepts. It
is
impossible to describe a state of no thoughts using thoughts!
Anyway, in
the void of no thoughts, one naturally assume that everything must
be
an unconscious blank. However, that was not the case! What came
next
was quite a revelation to me. In the void of no thought, I
perceived
myself to be a Presence... Here's how I will describe myself.
"The Presence is all pervasive, yet un-intrusive. He seems to be in
all
things and observes with utter passiveness. He exists beyond
concepts,
beliefs and do not need any form. Therefore, I understand him
as
eternal.
He also seems to be the subtler state of myself. I also got the
feeling
that he existed in all my lifetimes or even more. If I were to name
him, I
will describe him as The Eternal Watcher.”
You can say that I was completely blown away by the experience.
The
‘discovery’ of the Eternal Watcher was a very important event
that
completely changed the way I understood consciousness. It also
made
me contemplated very deeply and seriously about the possible
existence
of the Divine. These spurred me on an ardent search to understand
and
make sense of it all. I corresponded with whoever I think can help
me
unlock the mystery. These people included clairvoyants, other
meditators, people on spiritual paths and new-agers.
From these investigations, it was discovered that others have had
similar
experiences as well. Based on the consistency and plurality of
the
descriptions by others, something becomes very certain to me. That
is, a
human being is much more than a body that can talk and think.
The
Human Personality, which is our character, is only an outer
consciousness
of the human. With regard to our identity, our personality is
merely the
tip of the iceberg. Within the human being’s psyche lie much
subtler and
often-obscured levels of consciousness. I believe these inner
consciousnesses could be the different depths of the Soul or levels
of
being-ness even more profound than that.
About the Eternal Watcher, he is ever present. You didn’t see
him doesn’t
means he is not there. Because the Presence is so close to the
mind, it is
not easily perceived.
Perceiving the Eternal Watcher was achieved through the
relaxed
observation of my own breath. The ultra-relaxed observation
eventually
becomes a purely passive allowance for thoughts to pass through
my
consciousness. This, in turn, led to a gradual shutting down of the
mental
processes of my physical brain cumulating into a state of
‘no-thoughts’.
Beyond the transitional phase of ‘no-thoughts’, I became the
Eternal
Watcher. Experiencing the Eternal Watcher is not an exercise that I
can
easily brush off as inconsequential. It is not possible for me to
assume
that my perception of existence and life can be the same as
before.
Doing so will be blatantly self-deceiving.
To me, the most profound experiences where not from doing
something. They came from doing nothing.
