QUESTION: Are you aware of the nature of your Being?

STORY: Ontology is the study or science of existence or Being. I’ve been a student of The Prosperos School of Ontology since 1970. Its classes offer people a variety of activities and tools to understand that behind our material ego separate sense of self - is our true INNATE self which is Consciousness, Soul, Spirit, Beingness. When you come to know the nature of your Being - you are able to use problems and difficulties as doorways to wake up to the Higher, INNATE Self. A few years ago I found an excellent book titled: Self Observation, the Awakening of Conscience, by Red Hawk. It benefited me so much that I created an online Work Chamber for others interested in awakening to the INNATE self - Beingness. We meet weekly, read the book and discuss our practice of self observation. If interested - learn more: https://www.drawingtogether.com/workchamber
