What is your most fundamental experience?

‘Your primary experience is not the experience of being a body. Your primary experience is that of being aware. In other words, you are aware before you are aware of being a body or having a body. This recognition that what you essentially are at the deepest level is the fact of being aware rather than being a body is the single most important realisation that anyone can ever make in their life.’

In this essay, free for all subscribers, we discover that all the sorrow that people feel on the inside and all the conflict between individuals, communities and nations on the outside can be traced back ultimately to this mistaken identity – and explore why the body is what you know, not what you are. Consciousness, or awareness, is what you are.
