Inspired by Sri Atmananda (Krishna Menon), Standing in Awareness guides readers along the Direct Path--a "pathless path"--one articulating that we are all loving, open, clear consciousness, along with everything else. Readers will be assured they are already where they need to be and are standing as awareness now. This revised edition includes new chapters on this non-dual inquiry, a selection of dialogs from a decade of "Nondual Dinner" gatherings, and several experiments that help establish everyday experiences as awareness.

The pinnacle of Buddhism's understanding of reality is the emptiness of all things. Exploring reality towards the realization of emptiness is shockingly radical. It uncovers an exhilarating freedom with nowhere to stand, while engendering a loving joy that engages the world. This path-breaking book employs the emptiness teachings in a fresh, innovative way. Goode and Sander don't rely solely on historical models and meditations. Instead, they have created over eighty original meditations on the emptiness of the self, issues in everyday life, and spiritual paths. These meditations are guided both by Buddhist insights and cutting-edge Western tools of inquiry, such as positive psychology, neuroscience, linguistic philosophy, deconstruction, and scepticism. The result is a set of liberating and usable tools for Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike.

The Direct Path offers readers the "missing manual" to understanding non-duality. Inside, author Greg Goode provides forty user-friendly experiments and investigations designed to help readers come to their own conclusions about the nature of the body, mind, and perception. Readers will be taken, step by step, from the simple discernment of a physical object through the collapse of the witness into pure consciousness, leaving no doubt they are one with all things, and leading to a sense of lightness, freedom, and joy.
