THE TRUNK/FRUITS/SELF-INQUIRY/F7

Guided Self-Inquiry

The Core Inquiry

“Can we trace the sense of being back to its source right now?”

Scope of Investigation

Experiential exercises designed to direct attention back to its source—the bare sense of existence prior to thoughts, memories, and identity.

Atma Vichara (Who Am I?)

Tracing the root 'I-thought' back to its silent source, popularized by Sri Ramana Maharshi.

02

Neti Neti (Negation)

Systematically negating identifying with transient objects (body, mind, roles) to isolate the subject.

03

The Witness Inquiry

Recognizing the silent space of awareness which remains untouched by the content of experience.
