Summary of rupert spira's being myself

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The sense of being myself is our most ordinary, intimate, and familiar experience. It is the background of all experience, and it never leaves us. It is the ever-present factor in all changing experience. #2 Our sense of self is made up of two elements: our ever-present, unchanging being and the qualities it derives from our constantly changing experience, which seem to condition and limit it. Our being is naturally peaceful, and it is in this state of peace and happiness that we should aim. #3 When we allow our essential self to become mixed or identified with the qualities of experience, its natural condition of peace and happiness is veiled or obscured. We seem to become the feeling, and we lose our self in experience. However, we still have the experience of being myself even in the darkest feelings. #4 The separate self or ego is constantly in a state of lack, as it is constantly trying to defend itself from feeling vulnerable and incomplete. It is constantly seeking objects, substances, activities, states of mind, or relationships that will make it feel whole.
