I want to invite you to join me for a brand new 4-week course called No-Self Realization: A Thorough Search in Direct Experience for the Separate Self.  What exactly are we referring to when we say “I”?

Where? As Adyashanti says, The post Special Announcement: Join me for a new course: No-Self Realization: A Thorough Search in Direct Experience for the Separate Self appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson.
