Introduction

How do we know that there is an eye that is doing this? Direct experience is thinking, sitting, speaking, driving, suffering, happiness. These all arise in awareness that is necessarily so because we can describe them. We are accustomed to saying, I am thinking, that is the identification right there. The identification is completely innocent and unintended because the eye is so obvious. It is that awareness that is always there. That is the self. And thoughts appear and they disappear, but I never does.
