The Way of Awareness
Discovering Who You Are Beyond The Thinking MindBy Cort Curtis, Ph.D.Recorded TrackLength3h 19m
About this audiobook
Who are you…beneath the thoughts, the roles, and the story you tell yourself about who you are?
Most of us spend a lifetime answering that question without realizing it. A name, a history, wounds, accomplishments and beliefs gradually become "me." The thinking mind narrates that story continuously, and we come to mistake the story for who we are.
The Way of Awareness offers a different possibility: you are not merely the contents of your awareness. You are the awareness within which those contents appear.
