The truth of life

[kyleleey]

LU is focused guiding for seeing there is no real, inherent 'self' - what do you understand by this?
My understanding is early in life we learn/are directed to believe there is a me, and 1. The mind becomes identified with thoughts and the body and starts developing a persona or identity which gets built on over time. We develop a view that this is who I am, what I like, what I believe. This is incorrect perception as we are one consciousness.

What are you looking for at LU?
I want to know the truth of who or what I really am, and the truth of the situations in my life. To see life as it really is and be more free of the suffering identification with 'me' creates. I'm aware there are stories and conditioning running my life and wish to see more clearly the truth.

What do you expect from a guided conversation?
Someone to help me question and look. Someone who has experienced liberation and would be able to suggest different ways of seeing, looking, maybe unpack my current perception. To hear where I am at and understand and have the motivation to help guide.

What is your experience in terms of spiritual practices, seeking and inquiry?
I've been studying yoga and meditation for 20 years. Initially for health reasons, stress etc. The discovered the spiritual aspect of yoga. I have been meditating regularly most of this time - most recently insight meditation. Reading books etc on the topic. In recent years I came across Adyashanti and resonated with this his teachings on Liberation. I've been interested in self realisation for a while, probably more so in the last 7 years. I've taken a few psychedelic journeys for spiritual insight.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how willing are you to question any currently held beliefs about 'self? 10
