After Awareness by Greg Goode

After Awareness by Greg Goode

It was a feeling of separation and a need for nonphysical nourishment that led Greg Goode on a spiritual search, sorting through a variety of traditions and their doctrines, and eventually to non-duality and the Direct Path approach to self-inquiry. In this book, he offers an accessible, non-dogmatic guide to this process, sharing secrets of the Direct Path that are rarely revealed. Rather than a prescriptive, step-by-step book, After Awareness is a presentation of how the Direct Path works, examining lesser-known aspects of the path and providing context, examples, and critiques of its methods. You'll learn how to use the tools of non-dual self-inquiry-as well as when to discard them-and find a set of less doctrinaire terms and pointers for discussing non-dual awareness and the Direct Path in a twenty-first-century context. With this open, pragmatic, and deconstructive approach, you'll see the Direct Path from all angles and be able to draw your own conclusions. You'll also discover ways to talk about self-inquiry and non-dual awareness in mixed settings. Most important, you'll learn how an exploration that begins with everyday perspectives and experiential investigations into the nature of the "I" can lead to a sense of true peace, free from all judgments and self-consciousness.

Greg Goode is known for a unique combination of penetrating insight, comfort with both Eastern and Western sources, and a down-to-earth sense of humor. He is author of Standing as Awareness, Nondualism in Western Philosophy, and many popular articles. Goode studied psychology at California State University, and philosophy at the University of Rochester and the Universität zu Köln (University of Cologne). He became drawn to self-inquiry initially through the work of Brand Blanshard, George Berkeley, the Chinmaya Mission, and Arsha Vidya Gurukulam. His spiritual search came to its sweet conclusion through the Direct Path influences of Francis Lucille and Shri Atmananda. Goode is a member of the American Philosophical Practitioners Association (APPA) and serves as the technical consultant for their peer-reviewed journal Philosophical Practice.
