As seekers of truth, we must ask ourselves challenging questions in order to free ourselves of illusion: the goal of all spiritual practice. Until we question our assumptions, narratives, beliefs, conclusions, appearances, and objects of faith, we cannot awaken to our true nature; nor can we liberate our innate power and knowledge. In this talk for The Seekers Forum, Mark Matousek looks at why this is true, and how to cultivate the art of self-inquiry. Working with seven essential questions, he refines and amplifies the query that has driven spiritual practice in both the East and West for millennia: Who Am I?
