About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 Our self is the most important thing we can know for certain. We know our self through direct experience, and our self knows that it is present and aware through itself alone. It doesn’t need any other agent to confirm its own aware presence.
#2 Our self is the most obvious and direct knowledge that anyone has. It is the presence of Awareness, which knows itself to be present and aware. Our self is often referred to as Awareness, or simply Presence, or as Consciousness.
#3 The first attribute we add to our self is the belief that it resides in and is limited to the body and mind. We believe that experience is divided into two parts: a separate, inside subject that knows, feels, or perceives, and a separate, outside object that is known, felt, or perceived.
#4 We must understand that our self is not the body or the mind, but the aware being or Presence that knows or witnesses them. The body and mind are known or experienced, not owned.
