A contemplative resource

Self & Other

This site gathers three streams of inquiry into direct experience: naked awareness, dyads and the Enlightenment Intensive, and the Lila-space. Each section offers its own approach — yet all point toward the same basic truths of life.

Awareness

Naked Awareness

  • Naked awareness — or pure awareness — is foundational to all contemplative practice.
  • It lies at the heart of both contemplation and metacognition.
  • Approaching life from within naked awareness cuts directly at the tendency to be drawn into illusion and lost in reactivity.
  • In this way, awareness itself becomes the stable "base" from which all experience unfolds.
  • The practice is simple in form: detach awareness from whatever it is aware of and be directly aware of awareness itself.
  • Because it works at such a fundamental level, it deepens any other spiritual practice you engage in.
