Nature of the Self
This 9-page downloadable PDF is a complete transcript of the one-day intensive Mark Griffin conducted on February 9, 2013. In this profound teaching, Mark illuminates the elusive and boundless nature of the Self, delving into its totality beyond concept, quality, senses, and mind. Mark explains:
“Any approach to the nature of the Self is really an impossible idea. To even begin to do so, you have to embrace this concept of the totality of being, which is actually a kind of reverse intuition. The nature of the Self is beyond all concept, beyond all quality, beyond the senses and beyond the mind. It can’t be conceived of. There’s no one handle of attention; which is what I mean when I say the words “totality of being.” Any reflex of the senses, any reflex of the mind, application of will, is inconsequential and you’ll miss the target. The idea of the totality of being is to say that it’s the accumulation of Self, all qualities arising simultaneously. At the same time, it is void of any quality.“
Key Themes Explored:
- The Paradox of the Self: Understanding why any approach to the Self is inherently impossible yet necessary.
- Totality of Being: Exploring the concept of the Self as the simultaneous arising of all qualities, void of any singular quality.
- Beyond Concept and Senses: Insights into why the Self defies perception, will, or conceptualization.
- Reverse Intuition: The unique method of embracing the Self through a totalizing awareness that transcends all conventional understanding.
- Unifying the Void and Totality: A guided exploration of how the Self embodies both everything and nothing simultaneously.
