Regarding the body: Can a perception perceive?

Can a perception exist inside another perception? Can a perception act as a channel of communication of sensory perceptions?

Frequently we discuss how all sensory perceptions, bodily sensations and thoughts, including the spontaneous current thought of memory and what we call feelings ( bodily sensations with a "me" attached), are all perceived by impersonal awareness.

But, what about this perception we call the body?

Is it not merely a part of the witnessed landscape called the world?

And, if so, can a perception actually perceive?

If not, where does perception occur?

What do we mean when we say all perception occurs at "zero distance" in this "placeless place" called awareness?

The questions are discussed today in a new meditation by Rupert Spira entitled Utterly One. Click here to read Utterly One by Rupert Spira explaining the singular nature of creation, not ready made, but being born spontaneously moment to moment.

I first heard about William Samuel from my teacher, Francis Lucille. He had visited with Samuel and, at one of his retreats, a a rare copy of a live video of Samuels was available. It was impressive.

Peace that does not Fade Away

Some report that "Peace Slips Away" after attending satsang or retreat. What is the nature of this "back and forth" that is commonly experienced by Truth Lovers? What causes the "separate self" to arise and apparently steal away the sense of tranquility?

Today, Francis Lucille offers an answer to two very direct questions: Are other people real and Am I talking to myself?

The first question requires us to investigate exactly what is meant by the word reality. Much of our confusion stems from the assumption that we understand words we speak the same; nothing could be further from the truth. In this case, we must carefully explore the meaning of the word "real."

The great mystery is how the mind attempts to reject, modify or co-opt the Truth in an attempt to hold onto it's belief systems. The simplicity of Francis answer here takes our breath away as it leaves no doubt whatsoever regarding this matter
