On Being You - A Simple Guide to Self Enquiry

I came into this body with no-thing : without my name, my mind, my ego and without any material thing.  It is assured I will leave this body with no-thing. What is the nature of this “I” which existed before all these things were attached to it…..?  What is the nature of this Consciousness, this Awareness,  that existed as “I” before entering this body? Who is this I that I am? Who amongst us will dare to ask….?

How many of us know who we are?

In our desire to find answers we turn to many things : spiritual dogma, expensive courses, devotion to gurus, travel to far away places in pursuit of “truth”…….we become the doer doing and the seeker seeking finding things that may work, for awhile at least,  in quietening the mind and relaxing the body. Their effect “wears off”. They are sedatives and quick fixes leaving us in a similar state as before: full of thoughts, fearful, anxious and ego driven. We become stuck in an endless cycle of anguish, seeking answers, feeling better, experiencing more anxiety, doing more things, calmer again……and on it goes.

In this we forget to look within ourselves.

Self Enquiry takes us there, to Source. In doing this it is no easy journey or quick fix as we are invited to drop all masks, kick away all crutches, let go of all false identifications and attachments and peel and peel away leaving us to wonder “what remains?” We may feel vulnerable and exposed as we enquire “Who am I”? We take whatever time is needed……….

These courses will lift the fog to reveal the path upon which you are already, re-uniting you with the True Self that is you. You already have within you all that is required. The curtain will be opened to let in the light.  You will become aware that the realisation of True Self is indeed the essential factor rendering as mere decoration and side show all other activities pursued in our lives.
