johndoe2012 Posted December 11, 2010 much appreciated xabir, is this was is meant by your method of contemplation " Is there anything other [than awareness/being the forms of awareness]?', 'What is this?', 'Where does Awareness end and manifestation begin?" Â I could not find any other description of contemplation in your e-book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xabir2005 Posted December 12, 2010 (edited) much appreciated xabir, is this was is meant by your method of contemplation " Is there anything other [than awareness/being the forms of awareness]?', 'What is this?', 'Where does Awareness end and manifestation begin?"  I could not find any other description of contemplation in your e-book. There are different types of contemplation being discussed in the book itself. Self-inquiry will lead to the I AM stage and I have had quite a number of conversations on the practice of that. What you quoted will lead to non-dual insight... The 'Pure Awareness' experienced in I AM can then be seen as being no different than the arising manifestation - non-dual, no subject-object dichotomy.  The method that led me to the insight of Anatta was the contemplation on Bahiya Sutta, which I also mentioned in that e-book. http://awakeningtoreality.blogspot.com/2010/10/my-commentary-on-bahiya-sutta.html  Other than the method, having 'right view' is also important for subtler insights like Anatta and Emptiness to arise.
