truth of what you are prior to concepts; all there is, is the non-dual
essential reality
and nothing else.

The nature of appearances;
consciousness and reality; inability of concepts to describe the

prior to consciousness; non-conceptual reality; the non-duality of

mechanism of questions and doubts; the source
of suffering; dealing with theoretical questions; the need to verify
the pointers; the case of a potential medical
problem; the
practical value of this understanding.

The Constancy of Love » |
The nature of love; non-conceptual
reality as what you are; the
purpose of pointers; the tea and the cup; the banana and the peel; the

richness of this.
