LISTSERV - TOK-SOCIETY-L Archives

Hi, Gregg, I really appreciated this article, and I'm glad (with your credentials) you're sharing this kind of thing on PT. For those who go into it, there are several layers or gradations of experience and insight that go with the "am is" -- meaning, some traditions draw distinctions between grosser and subtler levels of it. Dream and sleep yogas are one way to get at these subtle meanings (both of which just involve working with 'awareness' in dream and deep sleep states).

But for a very practical, innovative approach, rooted both in some of the highest contemplative practices but also contemporary psychological awareness, I'd recommend the book, "Shift into Freedom" by Loch Kelly. He provides a lot of interesting exercises and tips for 'unhooking' from the self-related stream and exploring different dimensions (and implications, perceptual and psychological) of the 'am is.'

(His use of "shift" provides a nice, though I think not directly related, echo to the work you've been doing with Rob Scott. I'm going to be talking again with Rob very soon!)

Best,

Hi Folks,

I put up this PT blog today on two streams of consciousness, the Self Stream (I am) and the Pure Awareness Stream (Am Is).

Special thanks to Rob Scott for his work and guidance in this area,
