An Examination of Self-Discovery What is the true nature of the human condition? What is truth? Does it really all come down to suffering? Are we really powerless to alter our own destiny, let alone the destiny of the human species? For certain, suffering is a big, important part of the picture but the vast diversity and magnitude of challenges faced by humanity over history and today all point to something more than that. Many great mystics and teachers such Siddhartha Gautama, Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas Merton, Aristotle, Saint Francis of Assisi, Paramahansa Yogananda and others have been led to follow a contemplative path that has allowed them to find peace and leave pointers for those who wish to follow in their steps. Self-awareness and the search for spiritual growth has opened the eyes of countless such searchers to an astonishingly beautiful and purposeful universe intimately connected to the very essence of our immortal spiritual being that reveals that the true purpose to life is the expansion of our awareness of our self, the universe and the connection that we share with all beings. This book provides the tools to tackle that mission.
