The Nature of Consciousness: Essays on the Unity of Mind and Matter
We believe and feel that the knowing with which we are aware of our experience is located in and shares the limits and destiny of the body. I’ve gained deeper understanding listening to Rupert Spira than I have from any other exponent of modern spirituality. Our experience never ceases to change, but the knowing element in all experience—consciousness, or what we call “I”—itself never changes.
The knowing with which a feeling of loneliness or sorrow is known is the same knowing with which the thought of a friend, the sight of a sunset, or the taste of ice cream is known. This is the fundamental presumption of mind and matter that underpins almost all our thoughts and feelings and is expressed in our activities and relationships.
It is a philosophy of conflict and, communities, the root cause of hostilities between families, as such, and nations. As a result of this “matter model, ” most of us believe that consciousness is a property of the body. The peace that is inherent in us—indeed that is us—is not dependent on the situations or conditions we find ourselves in.
In a series of essays that draw you, through your own direct experience, into an exploration of the nature of this knowing element that each of us calls “I, ” The Nature of Consciousness posits that consciousness is the fundamental reality of the apparent duality of mind and matter.
The Transparency of Things: Contemplating the Nature of Experience
As we take our stand knowingly as this conscious presence that we always already are, and reconsider the objects of the body, and world, mind, we find that they do not simply appear to this Presence; they appear within it. As such, it is nothing that can be experienced as an object, and yet it is undeniably present.
However, these contemplations go much further than this. And further exploration reveals that they do not simply appear within this Presence but as this Presence. Finally, we are led to see that it is in fact this very Presence that takes the shape of our experience from moment to moment while always remaining only itself.
