Sloww Stage 4 (Spiritual Seeing): How do I see beyond mind?
Overview of Stage 4
Stage 4 Inquiring Question:
- âHow do I see beyond mind?â All roads lead deeper into mind (Stage 3), and mind leads beyond mind in nonduality (Stage 4). My most recent realization on this journey was that the previous stage 3 needed to be separated into two distinct stages: the mind (stage 3) and beyond the mind (stage 4). Sloww synthesizes the timeless art of living for our modern world because we arenât taught how to live in school or the workplaceâhow to be conscious and holistic humans who live fully alive.
Stage 4 Learning Focus:
- Seers focusing on the âme crisisâ by transcending mind and living in the unfolding flow (study subjects include: spirituality, nonduality, self-enquiry, witnessing, awareness, truth, consciousness, enlightenment, etc).
Stage 4 Developing Self:
- Self-Witnessing & Self-Transcending: Who am I? âIâ know âIâ am not âmyâ mind since âIâ am now aware of and able to witness âmyâ mind. So, who am I? I am.
