- Inquire yourself away — leap into yonder transcendence? If you're a sage in a loincloth — sure that's an option. The rest of us must reconcile our evolving self-awareness. Mindful self-navigation, unveiling, into living integration. Risk of dissociation is very real with unhinged practice. Encounter the aspects of your being and witness them as-is. Read more...

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...
