On the Nature of the Self
Embracing the Totality of Being: The Impossible Nature of the Self
Join Mark Griffin in this one-day Shaktipat Intensive, delivered on February 9th, 2013, where he delves deeply into the elusive and profound nature of the Self.
Through this illuminating talk, Mark explains why the Self transcends all concepts, qualities, sense perceptions, and even the mind itself. He introduces the idea of the totality of being—a state where all qualities arise simultaneously while remaining void of any singular characteristic. This advanced teaching challenges conventional approaches to understanding the Self and invites practitioners into the ultimate realization of spiritual truth.

🔑 Key Features of This Teaching
Totality of Being: Exploring the concept of the Self as the simultaneous arising of all qualities, void of any singular quality.
Reverse Intuition: The unique method of embracing the Self through a totalizing awareness that transcends all conventional understanding.
The Paradox of the Self: Understanding why any approach to the Self is inherently impossible yet necessary.
“Any approach to the nature of the Self is really an impossible idea. To even begin to do so, you have to embrace this concept of the totality of being, which is actually a kind of reverse intuition. The nature of the Self is beyond all concept, beyond all quality, beyond the senses and beyond the mind.”
