“Greg Goode’s latest book, After Awareness, is both very enjoyable and totally accessible, and it clearly points his readers to the Direct Path of true awakening. Sidestepping the usual esoteric double-talk that often passes for non-dual wisdom, the author provides a very specific and practical framework for deepening the direct experience of your own true nature. Highly recommended.”
—Chuck Hillig, author of Enlightenment for Beginners, The Way IT Is, Seeds for the Soul, Looking for God, and The Magic King
“Greg Goode shifts fluidly between roles as educator, realized guide, and confidant. The synergy of the three voices, all coming from the disposition of ‘joyful irony,’ brings into being a friend who is powerful company for the investigation into what one is. Greg’s treatment of ethics is groundbreaking and timely in non-dualistic literature. The chapters on witnessing awareness cover its nature and dissolution with a kind of twist regarding the final dissolution. These and other significant themes are turned by Greg into fortunate opportunities for investigators and enjoyers of non-dual literature.”
—Jerry Katz, founder of nonduality.com and editor of One
“Greg Goode’s After Awareness explores the diamond from every angle, presenting a joyful dance of spiritual perspectives and non-duality pointers. The book navigates the non-dual territory with a sense of ease and joy, profound understanding, and a freedom from attachment to paths and approaches.”
—David Rivers, publisher of Tandava Press
“After Awareness is an impressive contribution to the growing body of Western literature on the Direct Path in non-duality. Greg Goode brings a clear, analytical approach to a deep discussion of the ‘inner workings’ of the Direct Path, without forsaking ease of expression and a personal voice that speaks to the many issues that often trouble students of non-duality, paying particular attention to the witnessing consciousness. His joyfully ironic deconstruction of language and the tendency of conceptual systems to assert a position of truth in opposition to other systems is most welcome, especially as we see so many expressions of modern non-duality becoming another inflexible system of thought. This is not a long book, but Greg Goode has made every sentence count as a mirror to one’s own investigation. It is highly recommended.”
—Kriben Pillay, founding editor of The Noumenon Journal and author of Three Poisons
“Greg Goode possesses the unique ability to synthesize many years of academic scholarship and personal spiritual practice into a deeply profound and yet easily accessible message, whereby he takes us beyond concepts, platitudes, and dogma into a space abundant with freedom, peace, and joy. Written in a beautifully engaging narrative, we discover that the Direct Path to the way of the ‘joyful ironist’ is a simple and yet subtle series of steps, leading us forever deeper into an everlasting unfoldment of happiness, truth, and love.”
—Paula Marvelly, author and editor of The Culturium
