An engaging and insightful journey into human consciousness. What if our goal had not been to land on Mars, but in pure consciousness? The experience of pure consciousness—what does it look like? What is the essence of human consciousness? In The Elephant and the Blind, influential philosopher Thomas Metzinger, one of the world's leading researchers on consciousness, brings together more than 500 experiential reports to offer the world's first comprehensive account of states of pure consciousness. Drawing on a large psychometric study of meditators in 57 countries, Metzinger focuses on “pure awareness” in meditation—the simplest form of experience there is—to illuminate the most fundamental aspects of how consciousness, the brain, and illusions of self all interact. Starting with an exploration of existential ease and ending on Bewusstseinskultur, a culture of consciousness, Metzinger explores the increasingly non-egoic experiences of silence, wakefulness, and clarity, of bodiless body-experience, ego-dissolution, and nondual awareness. From there, he assembles a big picture—the elephant in the parable, from which the book’s title comes—of what it would take to arrive at a minimal model explanation for conscious experience and create a genuine culture of consciousness. Freeing pure awareness from new-age gurus and old religions, The Elephant and the Blind combines personal reports of pure consciousness with incisive analysis to address the whole consciousness community, from neuroscientists to artists, and its accessibility echoes the author’s career-long commitment to widening access to philosophy itself.

Are mystical experiences formed by the mystic's cultural background and concepts, as ""constructivists"" maintain, or do mystics sometimes transcend language, belief, and culturally conditioned expectations? Do mystical experiences differ throughout the various religious traditions, as""pluralists"" contend, or are they somehow ecumenical? The contributors to this collection scrutinize a common mystical experience, the ""pure consciousness event""--The experience of being awake but devoid of intentional content--in order to answer these questions. Through the use of historical Hindu, Buddhist,

Enhanced Commentary from the Acclaimed Video Series Including Visual Illustrations... The longer we remain unaware of what liberates us from the bondage of egocentric behavior the longer we allow what the Buddha called the sorrow of life to hold sway. The sorrow of life - including conflict, anxiety, violence and war - is the sum and consequence of attachments to the world, as conceived of Mind. In this work, JC offers a profoundly enlightened perspective on the nature of Mind, Pure Consciousness, and enlightened Being. He notes that Pure Conscious Awareness is not found in concepts of Mind, but is a knowing that Awakens of its own volition, as attachments to the world, as conceived of Mind, pass away. Integrating discoveries of modern science with teachings of enlightened Beings from cultures around the world, JC sets forth in clear and understandable language the difference between the functioning of Mind, which is conceptual, and the Presence of that which is beyond Mind, which is non-conceptual. He points out that Awakening unto the Reality of Pure Presence is a profound shift of perception away from concepts of Mind unto Pure Awareness, which is Other than concepts of Mind, Other than the illusion of separateness. Awakening unto this Presence is what enlightened Beings have pointed to since ancient times as the essential purpose of humankind. This work is written in such a way as to potentially trigger Awakenings within those who engage it seriously - with open minds and hearts - and thus, become aware of Being Aware.
