This is a devotional, fully-embodied (as in voiced, felt, experienced) reading of A.H.Almaas's book SPACECRUISER ENQUIRY (Shambhala Publications, 2002). I hope you will find it useful, whilst reading the book, to have it also voiced by another seeker for the purposes of guided meditation or your own Inquiry. If you feel inclined, please check out my other Inquiry podcast which is on Spotify & Apple. It's called "Save Us, Jeff Bezos!" and is mainly about eco-anxiety, open-ended questioning/inquiry, and the enneagram: https://apple.co/3zcdrEI Love, Steve xxxx

    Why Inquire?

    "Our experience of ourselves in our totality and our tangibility is what we mean by the term soul. The soul is what experiences, and it is the lived experience itself. Usually we identify with a very limited part of our potential, what we call the ego or personality. Some call it the small self. But this identity is actually a distortion of what we really are, which is a completely open flow out of the mystery of Being. A human being is a universe of experience, multifaceted and multidimensional. Each of us is a soul, a dynamic consciousness, a magical organ of experience and action. And each of us is in a constant state of transformation—of one experience opening up to another, one action leading to another, one perception multiplying into many others; of perception growing into knowledge, knowledge leading to action, and action creating more experience. This unfolding is constant, dynamic, and full of energy. This is the very nature of what we call life. When the dynamism of our Being unfolds our experience in its dark and negative possibilities, we find ourselves trapped in repeating patterns and closed loops. Although these closed loops of perception and action are dynamic, they are also compulsive and repetitive, robbing our experience of its freshness, our dynamism of its creativity, and our life of its expansion and adventure. We experience ourselves as Essence if our experience is free, unfabricated, and spontaneously arising. If our experience of ourselves is not dictated or determined by any external influence—that is, by any influence extraneous to the simplicity of just being—we are the essence of who we are. True or essential nature, therefore, refers to how the soul experiences herself when she is not conditioned by the past or by any mental images or self-concepts. We experience our essence when we are simply being, instead of reacting or conceptualizing our experience or ourselves. Essence manifests in various forms as an intelligent response to the changing conditions of the human soul. These forms, which we call the aspects or qualities of Essence, include the perennial flavours of human experience such as Love, Peace, Joy, Truth, Clarity, Compassion, and Value. Each essential aspect has a distinct experiential reality and function, while all share the basic ground of Essence: presence, self-aware luminosity, and openness." -Almaas (from Chapter 1 of Spacecruiser Inquiry)
