The Mind Without Foothold

Bol

The Mind Without Foothold is a contemplative exploration of the human mind and its persistent search for certainty, identity, and security. Drawing upon the early Dhamma, Guy Eugène Dubois examines how craving, aversion, attachment, identification, and becoming continually give rise to suffering and sustain the cycle of psychological bondage. Classical Buddhist themes such as impermanence, Dependent Origination, not-self, and nibbāna are approached not as abstract philosophical doctrines, but as subjects for direct contemplative investigation. With particular attention to the concept of the Unborn, the author challenges metaphysical interpretations and explores liberation as the gradual fading away of craving, grasping, and self-construction. Written in a calm, clear, and reflective style, this book invites readers to look deeply into their own experience and discover the possibility of a mind that no longer seeks a foothold in thoughts, beliefs, identities, or becoming.
