Hi ,
Let me introduce myself , my name is Stephane, it's french so it's male ( lol) ...read it the same way you would read stephan ..it's not stephanie. Since I could remember I have been fascinated by Spirituality, so I naturally read all the majors religious books , looking for some kind of inspiration from them , but couldn't find anything simple enough to grab to. I would read many spiritual books and tell myself; i don't understand why they have to talk in riddle all the time , it's really annoying and i don't understand why it has to somehow be different from everyday life , what's the point of that , just to boost their ego , saying how better they are from everybody else? ..., acting all humble and fake but subtly hiding an inner sense of superiority, what's the point of that? .. and why does the so called spirituality has to somehow force you out of everyday life? , shouldn't it be deeply rooted in Life itself ? , in everyday Life? ...So, i told myself i would find a way , i would find a type of spirituality which is not really spirituality as most people see it , not the mental picture of the yogi under the tree ..nothing of the sort. I would like to be able to talk spirituality with teenagers, and watch them find it as interesting as talking about girls , talking spirituality with men and watch them find it as interesting as talking about the game, cars, or women ;talking spirituality with women and find it as interesting as talking about men or shopping or their children ..Basically every day Life.
I kept searching but didn't find it for a while, I actually got depressed and extremely ill to the point of flirting with death and i guess that only fuel me to find a way to make sense of it all and finally at what we could call rock bottom finally found it : Inquiry , The work a simple process of questioning which open your mind and frees it from its suffering. It was found by a woman called Byron Katie over 22 years ago. Finally, a simple process deeply rooted in everyday life which would help people free themselves. It is like joining spirituality and the socratic method to create something totally new and beautiful. I passed the last 2 years of my life questioning everything and nothing, getting wiser, growing in consciousness, i did it so much that it grew in me and became almost a living breathing part of my mental state, you know when artists say that they eat, breathe their art right !, i finally get what they mean; to the point where i will release a book on it and on my journey by the end of this year on the subject. Anyway this blog is about sharing some of those inquiries, those conversations those reflections on Life on everything and on nothing.
Thank you , peace and love and thank you for the support.
