Before I Am by Mooji

Before I Am by Mooji

Before I Am is a selection of dialogues between Mooji, a warm-hearted spiritual master, and seekers of peace, truth and freedom. This second edition expands upon the first with 100 pages of previously unpublished dialogues, fresh quotes, brush drawings and photographs. While Mooji's presence carries a devotional fragrance, the words and drawings that spring from his Being are of the nature of non-duality. At times humorous, at times tender, occasionally sharp and always loving, Mooji responds to questioners as they speak of fear, suffering, confusion, relationships, spiritual practice and how to live their lives in peace. Yet it is Mooji's unsparing pointing to Truth, through the method of self-inquiry, which forms the essence of this book. His words represent unwavering invitations to investigate the nature of the Self and to rest effortlessly as the fullness and emptiness of Beingness. His answers encourage, challenge and never fail to illuminate. Enriched with Mooji's exquisite brush drawings - which add depth and a power of their own - this book is even more potent than the first. This edition acts like an unsparing sword that chops the mind and leaves you fully naked as your Self.

Mooji is a true light in this world, pointing us to who we are beyond our conditioning and identification by his presence, wisdom, and loving advice. Mooji, who was born in Jamaica in 1954, moved to London as a teenager. H.W.L., his master, was the first person he encountered. In India in 1987, Poonja (Papaji) was removed, and whatever remained of an active ego was eventually eradicated. Mooji has been offering Satsang to those seeking a direct experience of Truth since 1999. He provides the straight way to liberation through self-inquiry and The Invitation, one of the most effective aids for true and lasting Self-discovery, in these open encounters.
