The Direct Path: A User Guide

Have you ever done non-dual inquiry and said to yourself, &;I understand it intellectually, but I don&;t feel it. It&;s not my experience!&; If so, The Direct Path, inspired by Sri Atmananda (Krishna Menon), could be for you. This book is the &;missing manual&; to the Direct Path. For the first time in print, Direct-Path inquiry is presented from beginning to end and beyond, in a user-friendly way. The core of the book is a set of forty experiments designed to help dissolve the most common non-dual sticking points, from simple to subtle. The experiments cover the world, the body, the mind, abstract objects, and witnessing awareness. You are taken step-by-step from the simple perception of a physical object all the way to the collapse of the witness into pure consciousness. Your takeaway is that there&;s no experiential doubt that you and all things are awareness, openness, and love. Also included are three tables of contents, illustrations, an index, a section on teaching, and the notion of a &;post-nondual realization.&; This book can be utilized on its own or as a companion volume to the author&;s Standing as Awareness.
