Synopsis

Just as the images on television are nothing more than light, so are our experiences merely the dance of awareness. Often we form attachments to or feel enslaved by these experiences. But they are only reflections. As easily as television pictures vanish when the channel is changed, the power of our experiences fades if we penetrate to the heart of reality—the light of the natural mind within everyone.

You Are the Eyes of the World presents a method for discovering awareness everywhere, all the time. This book does not discuss how to turn ordinary life off, and it does not describe how to create beautiful spiritual experiences; it shows how to live within the source of all life, the unified field where experience takes place.

From the Back Cover

Just as the images projected on television are nothing more than light, so are our experiences merely the dance of awareness.

Often we form attachments to, or feel enslaved by, these experiences. But they are only reflections. Their power fades as easily as the pictures vanish when the channel is changed, if we penetrate to the heart of reality -- the light of the natural mind within everyone.

You Are the Eyes of the World presents a method for discovering awareness everywhere, all the time. This book does not discuss how to turn ordinary life off; it does not describe how to create beautiful spiritual experiences; it shows how to live within the source of all life, the unified field where experience takes place. A breakthrough translation by Kennard Lipman and Merrill Peterson, introduced by Namkhai Norbu, author of many books on Tibetan Buddhism.
