After Awareness

Written by leading non-duality author Greg Goode, After Awareness offers a course in non-dual philosophy, allowing readers to explore the inner workings of the Direct Path approach to self-inquiry-a set of teachings attributed to Shri Atmananda (Krishna Menon) that investigate the nature of the mind experientially and can bring about a lasting sense of joy and freedom. With this open, pragmatic, and deconstructive presentation, readers will see the Direct Path from all angles, find ways to talk about non-duality, and draw their own conclusions about the nature of being and the ''I.''
