Waking Up to Who You Are
Join Author & Mindfulness Teacher Joseph P. Kauffman on a journey inward in this online course in self-inquiry and self-realization.
Awaken to Your True Nature
Most of us do not really know who we are. We’ve been told who we are—by our parents, our family, our teachers, our governments, and society—and we believe we really are the identity given to us by our culture. We believe in a certain story about ourselves, an idea of who we are, attached to a certain name, with certain likes and dislikes, certain interests and beliefs, with a certain role to play in society.
Believing that we are this story, we go on looking for ways to prove this story and have it validated by others. We try to improve our story, improve our self-image, make it more attractive, more significant, more loveable. People will spend their whole lives trying to gain social acceptance and approval of the story that they identify with. In doing so, they overlook the truth of who they are. Being attached to a story about their identity, people needlessly suffer trying to protect and defend this imagined sense of self.
When you have a nightmare, you suffer in the dream, but once you wake up your suffering ends because you realize that the dream wasn’t real. In the same way, when you wake up from the dream of thinking you are your story, all the suffering associated with that story ends because you realize it isn’t actually who you are, and it does not affect your true Self.
Discover the Deepest Truth of Who You Are
This course is designed to help you awaken to the fundamental truth of your existence—to answer the big question "Who Am I?" It is for those who genuinely want to know who they are at the deepest level, not as another belief to add to your self-image, but as an actual realization that you can directly experience.
It is not intended to add to your knowledge or to help you learn more about yourself, it is intended to help you unlearn every idea you have about yourself so you can recognize the truth of who you are.
You already are your true Self, and there is nothing you need to learn or gain to realize who you are. You only need to remove the concepts and beliefs that you have mistaken yourself to be. This course is a guide to help you do so.
The Waking Up to Who You Are course is designed to
