In The Seeing Eye, The Seeing I, Douglas Harding leads readers into a radical yet simple exploration of who we really are. Rather than offering abstract theory, Harding proposes a series of direct experiments in awareness, encouraging readers to look for themselves.
Central themes include:
The distinction between the object seen and the one who sees
Discovering the self not as an object, but as open awareness
The spiritual implications of direct perception
How seeing clearly transforms everyday life and relationships
Rooted in both Western philosophy and Eastern contemplative insight, this book forms part of Harding’s influential “Headless Way”, which has shaped modern approaches to mindfulness, non-duality, and experiential spirituality.
