What You’ll Discover in Illumination The Direct Path of Shri Atmananda Krishna Menon
Illumination – The Direct Path of Shri Atmananda Krishna Menon
StillnessSpeaks released a set of two DVDs that includes three and a-half hours. of a conversation between (author of Chris Hebard (standing as Awareness) and Chris Hebard on the Advaita Vedanta Teachings of Shri Atmananda (Krishna Menon), who lived in South India from 1883-1959. Less well-He is more well-known than his Indian contemporaries Ramana Maharshi or Nisargadatta Maharaj. Atmananda’s teachings are no less important. Such works are: “Atma Darshan” And “Atma Nirvriti,” His words are direct (hence the name of this teaching). “the direct path”) to our true nature, which is Consciousness. The heart is actually the most important thing. of This teaching is about Consciousness.
However, the notion that we are pure Consciousness is certainly not a popular one —most people believe that they are a separate individual, in a separate body. This belief can cause everything to fall apart. of They are perceived as. “not them.”
They feel like the essence of things. of Their essence is found somewhere in their head, often behind the eyes. Through the five senses, they interact with the outside world and link to it. Greg describes it this way of Perceiving oneself as the Cartesian model, also known as aka “the container metaphor.” Descartes believed that the soul (or something immaterial) is contained within our body (or something else). Thus, we feel that we are an entity or spirit (or even a homunculus —a tiny human being) that exists within our body (a container). Most people believe this belief so strongly that they rarely question it.
These DVD’s, like Atamanda’s teachings, are all about investigation. Greg and Chris will take you step by step-By-Continue to move through the series of To help you see reality as it actually is, observational experiments will be helpful. This is an important point. During the experiments you are only looking at what is happening in the moment. You are only interested in what is current at the moment. This means that assumptions, beliefs, and memories are not valid. “the past”These items should be avoided. It is important to ensure that these items are not accidentally brought into the inquiry. “experiments.”
Because physical objects look so. “real” And “solid,” This is an exception. Atmananda’s teaching that ALL is Consciousness, the first experiment on the DVD deals with their deconstruction. And since sight is our primary sense for determining what appears to be a physical object, Greg and Chris’s begin the inquiry by asking:
What is the visual evidence of an object?
Greg asks Chris if he can remove his dark brown skullmala (bracelet), to illustrate how to do this investigation. of Set it on the back of tiny skulls of Notepad. Next, both of them look at it together and then report back on what their vision communicates to each other. Greg reminds us of The importance of Do not bring in (“super-imposing”) extraneous information that isn’t actually there in our direct experience, such as information from our other four senses, or from memory or inference.
It’s funny, Chris does this too! of Greg asks for the gate. “Does vision itself tell you that this is a bracelet?” Chris then responds: “Yeah.” Greg responds, somewhat taken aback. “Do you see a label there that says ‘bracelet’? And Chris quickly says, “No,” He knows that vision alone does not provide information about what an object is called/named. This would be memory.
This is what I am referring to “error” (and it actually isn’t an error since that would be a mind’s interpretation, whereas Awareness itself cannot/does not label anything; everything simple is.) It shows how complex and subtle this business can be of Investigating objects in depth can lead to some amazing discoveries.

Color = Shape
As it turns, direct vision can only tell us two things. You can’t have color without shape, and you can’t have shape without color (don’t take anyone’s word for this, look around right now and see if this is so or not so.) What’s more, shape and color indicate nothing other than what they are; they don’t indicate or point to something else. This is why this observation is so important. It means that everything beyond color and shape is being added.“superimposed”) by the mind, via memory or other senses!
You can apply the same direct examination experiment to your other four senses. The result will be the exact same: Everything is known only as one (one at a given time) arising perception. This applies to your mind and body. All of it.
There is a good possibility that this much will be possible. of the material on these two DVD’s is not something you are likely to fully grasp and understand deeply on the first go through. I found myself rewinding the segments of video over and over until I was completely confused. of understanding/block/stuckness gave way to clarity/understanding/seeing. This is when the scent comes alive. of You will be able to see the Divine Truth all over again. Your sweet smell, once a mystery to you, is now all that you can smell. You can now see her loving face (in different costumes).
Each perception makes a claim. However, you may find that you don’t believe it anymore or take its word for it. Now all perceptions are thoroughly examined, exposed to the light if needed, and seen as they really are.

Some comments about Greg Goode, Chris Hebard
Greg and Chris, unlike many philosophers, aren’t very serious. They are relaxed and easygoing. “buddy-buddy” Kind of Their rapport is mutual and their energy towards the material is playful, spontaneous and curious. They laugh so much that they often start laughing at us, as if reminding us to not take any. of You shouldn’t take this too seriously. A light touch is better than a tight grip.
Greg is a master at explaining complex philosophical concepts in a way that is understandable (or at the very least, gets you moving in the right direction). It was fascinating to see how he approached this type of topic. of inquiry. Example: A question can be answered from several perspectives (e.g., from each perspective). of a body —which is how most experience the world) or the perspective of Awareness.
A nice little “test” It is important to understand the perspective of a person to determine which one they are coming from. of They (meaning that even though you are not looking at a tree, it is there), The argument that one must know something to be aware of Awareness is not valid would be made by one looking out at Awareness. “there” One must be aware of It can be defined.
Greg also uses the Socratic Method, which I found very interesting. of Chris’s answers are more valuable than being told them immediately. Evidently, insights that we directly experience in our own lives are more powerful than those just told to us.
Greg is the main character of Chris is the expert and the viewer. He asks the same questions as us if we had the knowledge. Chris is basically taking us on a journey. of Although he’s exploring, he’s doing so very logically. Each section builds on what you’ve learned in previous sections.
The nice thing about having this information on DVD’s, is you can watch them over and over until you feel you have a clear understanding of The finer things of This is the essence of teaching. The technical aspect of quality. of The footage is sharp, clear and crisp.
