Before I Am: The Direct Recognition of Truth

Before I Am is a selection of dialogues between Mooji, a warm-hearted spiritual master, and seekers of peace, truth and freedom. While Mooji's presence carries a devotional fragrance, the words and drawings that spring from his Being are of the nature of non-duality. It is Mooji's unsparing pointing to Truth, through the method of self-inquiry, which forms the essence of this book. 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.

With unsparing honesty, palpable love and much humour Mooji guides questioners 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, the potency of this book will not leave you unchanged. It will take you to the very heart of your Self.
