An Invitation to Inquiry

Deeper and closer than any image you have of yourself, or even any sense of yourself,

deeper and closer than your gender, than your nationality, your family history,

in the core of yourself there is freedom and peace and love

waiting to be discovered by you in your lifetime.

Before I met my teacher I had been a long-time meditator,

I had been twenty years on the spiritual search and I had some wonderful
experiences with different traditions,

really extraordinary experiences but I found that they always had a beginning and a middle and an end,

and when they ended I was left with a ground of suffering.

So if this is true for you and you have maybe a beautiful meditation practice

but there is something that has not been answered in the depth of your being,

then I offer you simply what my teacher offered me,

which is the possibility for direct inquiry
and not another practice, and certainly not a dogma,

but direct inquiry into who you are.

That is not what you are doing or what you are practicing or what you have accomplished.
but who you are.

Who are you? When your attention is turned into the depth of That, there is a fulfillment

that is not, it is not contingent on practice
or belief or history or past or future.

It's the fulfillment of self-recognition.

So, I am not a missionary, I don’t enroll
people in this inquiry but if

if you have found that regardless of your practice there is still something missing,

then I invite you to inquire in the deepest way. To ask yourself this question: Who am I?

What is this? What is my life? And perhaps most essentially, with all the comings and goings in my life:

What is it that has remained immovable, ageless, always present? It is a great discovery.
