The direct path is this: you know you have eyes, yet you cannot see them, you know you have a tongue, yet you cannot taste it, the nose, too, and so forth, and regardless of whether you know these things you are always already seeing, tasting, smelling, being-knowledge-bliss. In a sense, every moment you are "consciousness-ing," but without consciousness of consciousness. The direct path opens us to the direct experience of consciousness, to the sense embracing and pervading all that is: the one without a second, the intersection of transitive and eternal. Get off the bus right there and leave your mind onboard. Wave it goodbye. Floodlit peace and stillness await.
