1. The Inward Facing Path

No other branch of knowledge retains a greater potential to eliminate suffering and conflict than does the science of consciousness, and the meditative practices associated with it.

Also known as Self Knowledge, the first step in the study of consciousness involves an inquiry into the nature of one's mind and ego. It is an analysis of the Seer, and that which is Seen as the objective world.

The revelation into the essential nature of the mind and ego through this process, extricates the Seer - witnessing subject of experience - from all objective content, leaving the Seer standing alone as pure consciousness, the primary and fundamental element of all experience shared equally by all.

2. The Outward Facing Path

Once we have established our essential nature to be Consciousness itself - not ego - we detach our attention from the objective content of experience and let our awareness sink back; eventually coming to rest in itself.

Through this inward journey, consciousness is gradually divested off its self-imposed limitations via the processes of mind and ego; eventually coming to rest in its own ever-present and unlimited being.

This gradual sinking back of consciousness until it comes to abide in itself, is the essence of meditation and prayer.

3. Living the Non-Dual Experience

In the third step, we collapse the apparent distinction between consciousness and its objects so that one can lead a life consistent with non-dual understanding - in which nature is a seamless whole, with no seperation anywhere in existence.

The intellect, whose discerning capacity in the past was compromised by selfish desires and turbulent emotion, now endowed with non-dual understanding and a universal sense of oneness, no longer does the bidding of the needy and selfish ego. Refusing to pollute the subtle body equilibrium with petty conceits, insecurities, and ill-conceived sentiments - supported by the intellect’s non-dual insight - one starts loving selflessly making compassion and happiness an everyday reality.
