What Is Always Here and Not Here

Lo que siempre está aquí y no está aquí

A guided inquiry into what is simultaneously always present and never findable, presented as a riddle that cannot be answered by mind or sensation. The dialogues explore a student's experience of presence remaining alongside thoughts, and how recognizing what was always there lifts the hypnosis of being lost in mental content.
