A New Way of Being

How To Use Self-Inquiry For Awakening: Rich Doyle


Listen Later

'You have to ask yourself the question 'Who am I?'. This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery of something within you which is behind the mind. Solve that great problem and you will solve all other problems' - Ramana Maharshi.

Self-Inquiry is a process through which you investigate and discover what you fundamentally are - and what you are not. It is a 'technique' popularised by the Indian Sage Ramana Maharshi, in which you question your sense of 'I', and which can lead to a profound sense of peace and wellbeing.

I came across Rich's work via Gary Weber - author of the outstanding book 'Happiness Beyond thought'. In it Gary details how he 'woke up' and literally stopped the endless chatter in his head that is so familiar to the vast majority of the human species. Gary then taught Rich how to do self-inquiry, and Rich 'woke up' too - leading them to record dialogues together which you can find on YouTube.

In this conversation we discuss how to do self-inquiry, the importance of practice, the best questions to use to help you, as well as the potential healing power of psychedelics and in particular ayahuasca.
