- Damn! Slipped and fell again from a plane of clarity. Mere moments ago I was the calm witness of existence. What manner of magic is this? Why do I stumble and fall? What can I do to immunize myself โ to not be pulled under? We enter the process of self-inquiry โ both general and specific. Train yourself to remember โ remember to ask the right questions!

- What is real self-inquiry? Let's be very clear. It's not an affirmation repetition exercise. It's not a disconnected philosophical indulgence. It's a method of shifting attention to your source. In our quest for the source of raw prime consciousness, we discover and extract our attention from veiling shells. Go deeper, go further inward. Seek the ultimate inquirer. Read more...

- When we speak of witnessing and observation, visualization exercises will not set us free. Self-inquiry is not a method for subject shifting. It's a process of peeling away our false identities. We are not the "seer", the "hearer" or the "observer". There is seeing, there is hearing, there is observation. In a neutral state, we recognize and acknowledge what is. Read more...
