`By observing mental states you also become aware of the seven factors of enlightenment. These are: awareness of awareness, investigation of the Way, vigour, joy, serenity, concentration and equanimity.' (The Buddha, Maha Sattipatthana Sutta 14-16)
The first two are paramount and the last five are outcomes of these. This is what this book is all about, becoming `aware of awareness' through direct investigation and then continuing with further `investigation of the Way' (the Tao, the nature of reality). Once one is aware of awareness then one can become `A Light Unto Yourself' by undertaking further investigations not needing to relying on any `teachings', although these may be useful for confirming what one has discovered.
