Product Description

Inspired by Sri Atmananda (Krishna Menon), the Direct Path is a "pathless path." It simply articulates the being of you and the world as loving, open, clear awareness. If this truth is realized as your experience, then nothing need be done. The path disappears, and life is lived in sweetness and celebration! But if there are still questions or doubts, the Direct Path contains unique and powerful resources that stabilize this truth as your everyday reality. This is a revised edition of the book, expanded to add chapters on the Direct Path in addition to its selection of dialogs from a decade of "Nondual Dinner" gatherings. The first three chapters unfold the basics of the Direct Path, such as standing as awareness, being in love with awareness, and exploring awareness. Included are several experiments that help establish your everyday experience as awareness always and already. The dialogs cover questions such as the desire for enlightenment experiences, the relationship between the brain and awareness, the question of "nondually-correct" language, the belief in physical and mental objects, the idea of having a sage's experience, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Majestic in its utter simplicity!, October 8, 2009

By	Maren Springsteen "www.marenspringsteen.com" (Arlington, VA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Greg's book made its way from the UK here today and as I'm already deeply immersed in it-a big Bravo!

Written with such clarity shining through every page, and a down-to-earth language that gets right to the core of Truth, it gently deconstructs every overlay on Awareness one might have previously identified with.

Dropping one concept after another, a clear, yet utterly profound practice, elegant in its simplicity and never betraying what is true and available right now, right here, timeless, unlike so many progressive paths that suggest a fall from grace, yet at the same time ignore what is.

Cutting deep through all layers of solid objects, mind, world, this jewel establishes consciousness as immanent and our only reality, no more separation/duality is seen or felt, the overlay gently collapses into True Self as one turns each page.

Truly a masterpiece and must-read, couldn't agree more with the previous fellow reviewer!
Many thanks, dear Greg, for this immense gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars Standing As Incredible!, October 10, 2009

By	Susan Kahn "www.NondualPointing.com" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

"Standing As Awareness," offers a most penetrating and original approach to spiritual realization. Greg Goode points the way toward dissolving a material, thought based view of reality using the direct path. However, his approach does not simply employ broad brush strokes. Pulling largely from Sri Atmananda and integrating this teaching with the transcendent wisdom of certain remarkable Western philosophers, Greg Goode leaves no gaps. His step by step inquiry method collapses the assumed object world into the boundless, loving presence of pure awareness, the truth of who you really are. For those interested in pursuing truth and in ending the believed cycle of happiness and sadness, security and insecurity, life and death, this book will speak to you and it will not leave you. For the spiritual seeker, it shows the way out of return visits into the powerful pull of the conditioned mind. If you long to know the joyful, fearlessness, beautiful truth, Greg Goode's, "Standing As Awareness" must be read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Major contribution., October 4, 2009

By	R. Greenwood "Ray Greenwood" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Greg Goode's 'Standing As Awareness' is a major contribution in the field of nonduality.Greg explains in a practical,as well as a philosophical way, the true meaning of nonduality.With his background in the study of Western philosophy and Eastern traditions he also brings to the table a profound knowledge of the 'Direct Path' teachings of Atmananda,Ramana Maharshi and Nisagadatta.In particular he is an acknowledged authority on Atmananda.
The first three chapters of this work are as clear a description of nonduality and its 'practical' application as I have seen.
from chapter 1:'Awareness sees what arises.Whatever appears,appears to awareness.In order for form,thought,feeling,sensation,time,space,unity and multiplicity to appear to awareness,awareness it
self cannot be limited or defined by these factors.Awareness is the single subject of all objects.It is the formless that sees all form.It is the unseen seer.'
from chapter 3:'There is no difference between seer and seen,and no arising objects.Your experience as pure consciousness is unbroken in every way.Pure consciousness is full,radiant presence.Pure consciousness shines in its own glory.It is the being of you and the world.'
This book takes you straight to the heart of the matter and a must read.
