Summary
'The mind is not invited to the party' - Henry Shukman and Simon Mundie discuss Kensho. Henry Shukman and I discuss spiritual awakening, the dark night of the soul, and why the thinking mind can’t grasp what awakening really is. Drawing on my own direct experience, this is about what happens when identification with thought falls away—and awareness recognises itself.
