One of the earliest of all Buddhist texts, the Atthakavagga, or Book of Eights, is a remarkable document, not only because it comes from the earliest strain of the literature - before the Buddha, as the title suggests, came to be thought of as a "Buddhist" - but also because its approach to awakening is so simple and free of adherence to any kind of ideology. Instead the Atthakavagga points to a direct and simple approach for attaining peace without requiring the adherence to doctrine.

This book is not about how to become “more conscious.” It does not promise growth, offer new experiences, or point toward a path. It does not teach, guide, or inspire. Instead, it quietly stops beside you — right where you can no longer go forward. Where everything you once believed to be true begins to gently tremble. And yet it doesn’t collapse — it simply fades, so that something deeper can begin to show itself. The Teachings of Consciousness to Those Standing at the Edge is not for those just beginning. Not for those still seeking experiences, knowledge, or understanding. It ...

“He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, is there not a lie in my right hand?” Isaiah, xliv. 20. Of some diseases, and those not the least dangerous, it is a distinguishing characteristic, that the aihng fancy themselves in health, and resent, as rudeness and unkindness, an attempt to undeceive them. This is especially observable in the worst family of diseases to which our compound frame is liable, — those that affect the mind. It is proverbial, that insanity cannot know itself, and sees nothing but insanity in the pity ...
