Question Reality The Curious Way to Peace and Happiness In every
human being there exists an infinite source of peace and happiness.
You were born with it. Your heart would cease beating and your mind
would stop functioning without it. It is our common origin, the
source of all life, that from which everything arises. Somehow, in
the process of living, the knowledge of how to return and connect
to the source, to the miraculous Heart of Life, has been misplaced.
Returning to the Source is the hero's quest. It is the journey home
to the font of our living being. And what we are seeking is The
Holy Grail, The Secret of Life. Why is it so difficult for us to
Return to the Source of happiness and peace of mind? Our inability
to do so causes unnecessary and seemingly endless suffering to us
both individually and collectively. It has also placed our entire
species in great peril. And our failure to address this question
has led us to the very crossroads of human evolution. The path
we've been following is the product of the Tyranny of the Mind.
This way is leading us rapidly to a dead end--to the unconscious
creation of a living nightmare and the rapidly increasing
likelihood of our annihilation in a nuclear or ecological
catastrophe. But the other path at this Grand Junction leads to a
change in individual consciousness that may allow us to create
heaven on earth. This other way is The Curious Way, the
philosopher's way of self knowledge based upon the ancient
observation that the unexamined life is unworthy living. The
Curious Way leads us upon The Hero's Quest, the Return to the
Source, to our original state of being, so that we may learn to
lead our lives from the Heart, the Original Source of
Consciousness. To obtain the Secret of Life, we must first learn to
Question Reality and end the Tyranny of the Mind. From the moment
we are "conceived" we have all been systematically hypnotized and
tyrannized by the magic spells created by the mind's inseparable
twins of thought and language. As a result we find ourselves living
in an Alice in Wonderland world. The stories human beings have
created about our world and each other have trapped us all in an
endless hall of mirrors, in a maze of our own creation with no
recognizable way out. As long as we remain mesmerized, we are only
able to see the world and each other through the veil of the mind's
imaginary creations. If we are ever to have any hope for peace of
mind, let alone peace between individuals and nations, the magical
enchantment born of language must be broken. It doesn't matter what
language you speak or which culture you were born into. The minds
of all human beings are thoroughly programmed by their cultures and
languages of origin. Our memories faithfully record this
programming. All of our life experiences are filtered through it.
Fortunately, it is possible to understand, reverse, and remove the
more harmful aspects of our conditioning. This become possible when
we begin to Question Reality as we have been programmed to "know"
it by our cultures of origin. Question Reality is about identifying
and reviewing the many stories, concepts, beliefs, and
ideologies--with which we have all been programmed by our languages
and cultures. By pursuing The Curious Way of Self-Enquiry and other
meditative practices we may learn to break the magic spell of
language and Return to the Original Source of peace and happiness.
All real change begins and ends with individuals. When you change
yourself, you change the entire world. Nobody else can do this for
you. It is entirely up to you to Question Reality and learn to see
what's real for yourself. I believe that you will find it well
worth the effort. For Returning to the Source of all knowledge and
understanding is the key to real happiness and peace of mind.
