Sense of Self: The Source of All Existential Suffering?

"Impractical? Awakening is facing the ultimate practical reality." Art Ticknor is a spiritual teacher who speaks from many levels: friend, guide, gadfly, truth-teller. In this collection are written exchanges with students, along with poems, aphorisms and short essays. These writings both provoke and inspire one to look for themselves into the nature of the self: Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? These questions are at the heart of spiritual awakening, spiritual enlightenment, and self realization. An essential reading for anyone following a spiritual path, Sense of Self practically addresses the questions, fears, doubts that one encounters and turns them and turns them into more fuel for self inquiry. Comments about Art Ticknor's work: "A pea under the mattress in a genre full of mattresses." "Art's gift as a writer is that he can use logic to speak to the heart of the reader..." "This book may replace my worn out copy of The Power of Now as my go-to resource of spiritual inspiration." "Reading the book to me feels like the presence of a friend who desires the best for me, who is trying to inspire and encourage me to continue to look." "Satsang in a book."
