Invitation to Awareness

The idea that you have a self, that there is 'a you somewhere inside of you', is so taken for granted that to suggest otherwise may seem preposterous but behind the dogma of many spiritual traditions this is the central proposition.

Similarly, instead of thinking of yourself as 'having a life' how would it be to think of yourself as being life itself?

To know your self as life's knowing of itself is such a joy. And sometimes all it takes is a conversation to dispel the illusion that keeps us in the dark.

Not surprisingly, these are uncommon conversations that challenge many assumptions and culturally prescribed understandings of what it is to be a person.

This invitation to awaken is informed by my own experience; engaging in a particular type of dialogue; citing various knowers of this reality and referring to 'post structuralist deconstructions of the self'.

The idea that freedom lies not in finding your self but in liberation from the idea that there is such a self is definitely something worth talking about.
