Consciousness, Non-Duality and the Self

This talk was recorded at a friend's house, so it is not studio quality. Nevertheless, since it covers my latest thinking on consciousness, non-duality, the Self and the nature of awakening, I am making it available here trusting that you'll still find it valuable. (40 mins.)

Topics covered include:

• Different meanings of consciousness.
• Consciousness as essence of being aware, whatever the experience.
• The original meaning of non-duality.
• All we ever know are the phenomena appearing in consciousness.
• The Self, the everpresent sense of I that is aware.
• The ego, the body oriented idea of a personal self.
• Letting go of the belief there is somewhere to get to, spiritually.
• Spiritual awakening as awakening from the dream world of the ego-mind.
• Love as the secret sensation of the Self.
