Beyond vision: going blind, inner seeing, and the nature of the self

Introduction : Claiming the Terrain. Can the self go blind?

Finding a path

Making sense of the pathfinder

Where we are heading

A Sheer White Cliff Face. How things began to go missing

The flight from the truth

Inner acknowledgement

Taking my prognosis on tour

The Functionary and His Mask. Eyeing the Foreign Service and angling for Tokyo

Down from the plateau

Three faces of the RP identity

Trying to catch hold of myself

India, the Visual Conundrum, and Letting Go. The New Delhi sensorium

Disentanglement from images

A set of mogul pictures

Regarding facelessness

Vedanta, the Ego, and the Flesh. Re-enter Shiva

The coils of ego

Factor X : the centripetal pull of the body

Into the Pre-Visual Centre. Skirting the edge

Just by walking

Factor Y : the return of the repressed

A burst of openness

Looking for my others

Vision, Science, and the World-Illusion. Three unconventional perspectives on seeing

Inside the mall : reality of appearance?

The great light of conciousness

Learning to Live an Ancient Teaching. Taking it in and letting it work

Spiritual practice as stress management

The subtle arts of equimindedness

The Challenge of Integration. Factor Z, at long last

Interzone phantasmagoria, ownership

Ordinary life as I find it

Opening Up. A humane transition

A final affirmation of the sensory world.
