⭐THE EYE THAT SEES ITSELF is about as good a book on this subject (non-duality) as I’ve ever read. Shimon Malin, being a physicist, caught my attention, in addition to the intriguing title. Basically Malin’s journal entries, there are wonderfully practical nuggets throughout, and many fascinating observations by this scientist / mystic. He definitely sees and experiences some events which are quite helpful / hopeful. Highly recommended for anyone interested in this stuff… P.S.- As of this writing (8-1-18), the book is long out of print, and the publisher gone as well. Alas, this leaves it to the scalpers, charging -at last glance- thousands of dollars for a copy! I will not feed such an enterprise, so I get mine through the library loan program. This book is rare, but certainly NOT impossible to track down…

⭐The self-referential title of this little tome succinctly encapsulates the paradoxical nature of both the subject matter and the writing of the book. Constructed as a collection of short journal like essays about the practice of meditation, it is a personal diary of reflections on what is ultimately an impersonal process. As such, the style here can seem a bit awkward; at times hyper self-conscious and at others detached and abstract. Yet the author has steadfastly pursued his inquiry for quite some time (the book was written over a period of about twenty years) and this has yielded a profound depth and range of insight. However difficult this insight might be to express, I think he succeeds here admirably. I cannot recommend this book too highly, especially for anyone who has taken up and maintained a contemplative practice while still remaining, “in the world.” Here is a taste: “In a moment of real seeing something is happening that is beyond the subject/object mode, though connected to it. One feels, and is, rooted in a background of sparkling subtlety, and out of this background the objects of perception emerge. In a sense such moments are enough. Wanting more is greed. In another sense such moments beckon one to something other than themselves, What is that?”

⭐I’ve been meditating on and off, but mostly on, for 35 years; very on for the last 10, and I’ve personally found the experience of existence to be extremely hard to discuss or to put into words on a page. And so it is with great admiration that I read this book by Shimon Malin who, apart from being an apparently feet-on-the-ground Professor of Physics at Colgate University, is a mystic with a great faculty for putting the ineffable into words.
