The 'I' and Its Delusion

What exactly is the 'I', called Ahamkara (the I-maker), that turns all the experiences a person has into 'their own' and creates a sense of individuality or even isolation?

​

How is it created, and what place does Ahamkara occupy in the structure of the mind, spirit, and intellect?

​

Is the 'I' perhaps the ego (Asmita)? Or the 'own' self? And what is the nature of the 'I'? How does it usually behave? And why does it lead to recurring frustration and suffering?

​

How can one recognize the 'I' responsible for this suffering (Dukkha) and our dissatisfaction?

​

Whether we suffer or are happy is always 'only' a question of consciousness or identification.

​

But what does a person identify with when they naively give in to the essential characteristics of the 'I'? And how does this happen?

​

Understand the nature of the 'I' and its daily behaviors, and why, when 'unrecognized and unchecked', it traps you in a cycle of suffering existence.

​

Learn to recognise the 'I' - which is subject to the usual deceptions (Maya) - and gain the tools in this workshop to free yourself from this  illusion that brings suffering, to bloom in fullness, contentment,  kindness, compassion, cheerfulness, and equanimity like the lotus.

​

Become the 'Lily of the Field' (Kshetram = field, surroundings) and begin to shine in everyday life like the Akanda Jyotir (the continuous, unbroken light) that you are, regardless of the situation you find yourself in.

​
