Self
The SELF is the timeless, unchanging essence of who you truly are beyond roles, thoughts, emotions, and identities. It is not the personality you present, the story you carry, or the goals you chase. The SELF is pure awareness-ever present, ever still, ever free.
It is the silent witness behind every experience, the presence that remains untouched by the storms of life. The SELF does not strive, compare, or fear. It simply is. When you rest in the knowing of the SELF, peace arises, clarity dawns, and love flows effortlessly.
Connecting with the SELF is not about becoming someone new-it is about remembering who you've always been. In this remembrance, you come home to now, and now becomes sacred. This is the essence of true freedom, wholeness, and inner joy.
Discover the Timeless Power of Your True NatureWhat if everything you seek-peace, purpose, love, freedom-is already within you?
SELF: Awakening to Awareness, Presence, and Inner Freedom is a profound spiritual guide that leads you back to your original essence: the unchanging awareness beyond your name, story, emotions, and roles. In a world consumed by performance, comparison, and constant striving, this book invites you to pause, breathe, and remember who you really are.
More than a book, SELF is a deep meditation. It explores the eternal presence within you-the silent witness behind your thoughts, the calm eye within life's storm, the radiant center of consciousness untouched by fear or identity. This is not the "self" of social labels and ego roles; it is the SELF-pure, still, vast, and free.
Through beautiful poetic language, grounded wisdom, and practical insights, author Cyril Joseph gently dismantles the illusions we live by. He shines light on the false identities we cling to and offers a map back to presence, authenticity, and wholeness.
In this transformative journey, you will discover:
What the SELF truly is-and what it is not
How to differentiate between ego, witness consciousness, and pure awareness
The practice of self-inquiry, presence, and "Feel Nowness" to unlock deeper realization
