Join James Swartz to explore the essence of Self Knowledge
Description: 

Before embarking upon any spiritual pursuit, it is important to have a clear idea about the destination, which is the easy confidence to claim, "At each and every moment, I am completely satisfied with myself as I am and the world as it is."

Ignorance of our wholeness is the root of binding, always undesirable unfulfilled desires because it produces an array of destructive emotional states of mind. The Fire of Self knowledge, written in the 8th Century by an Indian sage, prescribes only one medicine for this pernicious soul-destroying diseaseā€¦Self knowledge.

A patient unable to tolerate a particular treatment is subject to side effects. Spiritual teachings lacking clarity about Self knowledge and Self experience cause problems. When a person suffers indigestion, eating more food only aggravates the problem. Running from one teaching or teacher to the next adds another layer of confusion to an identity-seeking mind. Someone with an unprepared mind will be unable to digest the radical counterintuitive non-dual teachings of Vedanta and suffer additional discomfort.

James Swartz, a teacher of traditional Vedanta will unfold the essence of Self knowledge in this online session.
