The purpose of The Transparency of Things is to look clearly and simply at the nature of experience, without any attempt to change it.A series of contemplations leads us gently but directly to see that our essential nature is neither a body nor a mind. It’s the conscious Presence that may be acutely aware of this current experience. As such, it is nothing that may be experienced as an object, and yet it is undeniably present.On the other hand, these contemplations go much further than this. As we take our stand knowingly as this conscious Presence that we at all times already are, and reconsider the objects of the body, mind, and world, we find that they don’t simply appear to this Presence; they appear within it. And further exploration reveals that they don’t simply appear within this Presence but as this Presence.In spite of everything, we are led to see that it is actually this very Presence that takes the shape of our experience from moment to moment at the same time as at all times remaining only itself. We see that our experience is and has only ever been one seamless totality, with no separate entities, objects, or parts anywhere to be found.
