Qui pensez-vous être? Greg Goode m'éclaire sur "qui suis-je". Un grand merci à Laya pour cette traduction (Il vous sera peut-être néessaire d'attendre quelques secondes avant que la vidéo ne puisse démarrer). Je pense que le mot "évidence" que Greg utilise à plusieurs reprises, peut signifier également "preuve". La première chose que nous croyons être est le corps. Si le corps meurt, je meurs, etc. L'investigation nous apprend que nous sommes avant tout présence que le corps soit là ou non. Le corps n'est de toute façon pas là par exemple déjà environ un tiers du temps durant le sommeil profond.
Le corps est un objet vu par quoi? Une fois encore Greg Goode nous rappelle que la conscience n'a pas de forme, il n'y a donc aucun moyen de la localiser contrairement à ce qu'on nous enseigne à l'école ou ailleurs. Vous êtes en fait ce dans quoi le corps apparaît. Dans l'expérience de "voir", il n'y a rien dans ce champ visuel qui dit: j'appartiens à quelqu'un, ni rien qui dit avoir des limites, coins, bords.

Readings and Links. Standing as Awareness: The Direct Path New, Expanded Edition, Foreword by Jerry Katz. Non-Duality Press, October 2009. When you take a stand as awareness, you don't take yourself as an object such as the body or a personalized mind state, but as awareness itself. You come to experience awareness confirming your stand. This new edition retains the selection of dialogs from a decade of New York City nondual-dinners, but adds three new chapters on the fundamentals of the Direct Path, such as How to Stand as Awareness, Falling in Love with Awareness, and "The Witness - from Establishment to Final Collapse into Pure Consciousness.
