An awareness of Self/Being-ness /I Am-ness (your True Self) is required to live a Truly Spiritual life. The awareness of Self is at the core of all Spiritual disciplines and yet it is missed by most. The fact of the matter is that our conscious awareness, acceptance or understanding of this fact is irrelevant as life unfolds.
The awareness of our Spiritual Essence is hidden by our tendency to identify and place/misplace of our I AM-ness/Beingness in egocentric thought, emotions, situations and things. However, this misplacement is not undetected. It results in various forms of lack of fulfillment, emptiness and a yearning for fulfillment and completion.
