Awareness resides beyond the mind and encompasses the mind. Through perception, the mysterious world of awareness is reflected in the psychological world of thought, which subsequently reverberates in the physical world as speech and action. The selections in this book are meant to demonstrate that even the most profound thoughts are not the source they spring from. They reflect that source, point to it, and urge us toward it—toward the simple, pure presence of an awareness just beyond thoughts, and just behind the eyes seeing and reading them. That is what this book is about.
