Marsha,

I believe your inquiry is an honest one.  The idea of "pure experience" is
somewhat familiar to me.  I have been corresponding for years with Dr.
Shimon Malin, a renowned quantum physicist and author of the book Nature
Loves to Hide.  He referred me to a philosophy book by Franklin
Merrell-Wolff called Transformations in Consciousness, the metaphysics and
epistemology of his "Philosophy of Consciousness without an Object".  I
think this philosophy directly addresses the idea of "pure consciousness"
and also of "mindfulness-awareness which is free from mental narration".
But I believe he is talking about a transcendental state of consciousness
that is also free of "the intellect in association with perceptions".  I
think it's a state of freedom from awareness of the self as separate.  I'm
only half way through the book and not really prepared to discuss how it
relates to your inquiry, but I have the sense it could be useful.

             Another source of ideas about this topic would be Dr. Malin's
little book of short essays called The Eye that Sees Itself.

Kind regards,

 

John L. McConnell
