Synopsis "Spine Presence: The Post-Conventional Zen Teaching on Life and Death, Gather and Loss through Meditation and Sexual Yoga (in English)"
Consciousness is the capacity to know and feel. Although it's our nature, we don't always have access to it. Everything happening, inclusive of your body, your mindstream, your sense of self and your human relationship, is constantly in motion. Motion attracts attention. As the result, we are always attending to external happenings. While conscious space hasn't changed since the origin, the way we approach it can be drastically updated to today's cultural pattern, emotional whirl and life habits. Ultimately, everyone -spiritual or not- has equal access to the absolute clarity that is fundamentally free, loving and intelligent, so that we can build careers, nurture relationships, create arts from this place of awareness. Spirituality is not a set of nice-and-happy concepts to conform, but is await to be violently outgrown by spirit itself. This book covers the following topics: -the nature of awareness, -the residence of consciousness in human body, -the expression of clarity through life's complication. If we train ourselves not to get lost in events, not to narrow attention, we don't have to be away from the world to seek enlightenment. In fact, we can stay right where we are as the capacity to know and feel, even in the most chaotic situations. Enlightenment is never found, but repeatedly realized.
