Appearance Without a Perceiver: Seeing Through the Illusion
Apariencia sin un perceptor: Ver a través de la ilusión
This session guides practitioners to investigate the illusory nature of the perceiver, showing that sounds, sensations, and thoughts simply appear without a separate entity experiencing them. The teacher points to the "me-sense" as just another thought, and invites a direct seeing-through of this self-illusion as the path to liberation. Dialogues explore experiences of tranquility, beingness, and the body's response to deepening stillness.
