Description

Behind Closed Eyes is the companion novel for Jason Siff's two other books on meditation, Unlearning Meditation, and Thoughts Are Not the Enemy (Shambhala Publications). Written in 1999, this novel starts off showing what people coming to Vipassana meditation would most likely encounter in the form of meditation instruction, as well as the types of experiences they might have. Jason teaches Recollective Awareness Meditation to a group of American meditation students, presenting his ideas on meditation, interviewing them about their experiences, and offering them guidance.

On another level, meditation is a way to expand and develop one's consciousness. In Behind Closed Eyes, Jason also touches on the philosophical issues on a higher self, transcendence, emptiness, and nibbana (nirvana). He discusses how he sees tranquility and insight manifesting in a person's meditation practice, and also explores how people conceptualize and put words to their inner experiences.
