Publisher's summary

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.

Clear and Direct Exploration of Nonduality

As someone immersed in the world of nonduality, I approached "Standing as Awareness" by Greg Goode with some hesitation due to the title. However, Goode's reputation for clarity and directness encouraged me to give it a listen, especially after enjoying his previous work on Emptiness Teaching.

I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and insightfulness of this audiobook. Unlike many awareness teachings that inadvertently perpetuate subtle forms of duality, Goode skillfully navigates this potential pitfall, offering a refreshing perspective that doesn't fall into the "witness trap."

"Standing as Awareness" is a valuable resource for both beginners in nonduality and those seeking deeper understanding and clarification. Goode's clear and direct approach makes complex concepts accessible, serving as an excellent companion on the journey of self-discovery.

Overall, I highly recommend "Standing as Awareness" to anyone interested in exploring the profound teachings of nonduality. Thank you, Greg Goode, for another enlightening contribution to the field!
