My e-book/e-journal 'Who Am I?'

An Eternal Now SG

Here's a link to my e-book/e-journal, which is not just a 'journal' but also contains pointers/instructions (including the practice of self-inquiry and the method of contemplation that leads to insights of non-duality and anatta). These pointers and instructions are designed to quickly lead readers to the realisation of their true nature without delays or side-tracks – in fact I’d put it this way: you can never find a more direct path to realization than the approach I have presented, this is The Direct Path so to speak. If you find it helpful, pass the link along to a friend lachen

Nice work :)

Thanks for the sharing.

I think got to emphasize (to the Readers) that realisation is more about discover the incorrect or wrong assumption AND not about discovering a new information or fact.

For example, one cannot really say what is Non-duality. It is not even 'no-subject-object' division . We can only point out what existence has been assumed to be .. and thus break the assumption.. but we cannot define what it really is.

Knowldege like Non-duality, emptiness cannot be grasped at, because they will immediately be defined (by the mind) and be turned into another concept for grasping.

The tendency of the mind is to always find some reference point and unconsciously define it. 'What is' simply cannot be defined, but can only be known by 'what it is not.'

Very well said simpo. :)

Nicely said... thanks. :) Ultimately there is no 'non-duality' or 'emptiness'... non-duality and emptiness are merely pointers to break the false assumptions we have about reality... but even 'non duality', 'no self', 'emptiness' cannot be established. As they said, even emptiness is empty!

Someone posted in another forum:

much appreciated xabir, is this was is meant by your method of contemplation " Is there anything other [than
awareness/being the forms of awareness]?', 'What is this?', 'Where does Awareness
end and manifestation begin?"

I could not find any other description of contemplation in your e-book.

To which I replied:

There are different types of contemplation being discussed in the book itself. Self-inquiry will lead to the I AM stage and I have had quite a number of conversations on the practice of that.

What you quoted will lead to non-dual insight... The 'Pure Awareness' experienced in I AM can then be seen as being no different than the arising manifestation - non-dual, no subject-object dichotomy.

The method that led me to the insight of Anatta was the contemplation on Bahiya Sutta, which I also mentioned in that e-book. http://awakeningtore...hiya-sutta.html

Other than the method, having 'right view' is also important for subtler insights like Anatta and Emptiness to arise.
