One of the great challenges of spiritual awakening is that it requires us to let go of our identity, to loosen our attachment to the story we tell ourselves about who we are.

At first, that invitation can feel unsettling. If we stop identifying so completely with our history, our beliefs, our roles, and our accomplishments, what remains? And would we lose something essential about ourselves?

In Awakening Beyond the Limits of Self, Craig explores these questions, inviting us to investigate the difference between the story of self and the conscious awareness in which that story appears.

Rather than trying to become someone different, this practice points toward a subtle but profound shift in identity—one that opens the possibility of meeting life with greater freedom, openness, and presence.
