Who else has read I AM THAT?
In it he mentions how to shift the focus of consciousness beyond the mind is to refuse all thoughts except "I am".
It is more of a Q&A book with a spiritual master, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
It is interesting hearing about the world he lives in/experiences.
He mentioned how do we know that the world continues when we are in unconscious sleep.
That the world appears and disappears continually. While his state is permanent.
I am only on page 18, so not that far yet.
The world of our perceptions is a very small world indeed. And it is entirely private.
To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself. You must know all that you are not.
Awareness is not of time. Time exists in consciousness only.
By itself the light can only be compared to a solid, dense, rocklike, homogenous, and changeless mass of pure awareness, free from the mental patterns of name and shape.
When the mind is still, absolutely silent, the waking state is no more.
To take appearance for reality is a grievous sin and the cause of all calamities. You are the all-pervading, eternal and infinitely creative awareness: consciousness. All else is local and temporary.
