Self-inquiry: The process of subtraction
Truth is not something you find. It is what remains when you burn everything that is not true.
The Sword of Intellect
You have spent your life adding things. Adding beliefs, adding habits, adding strategies, adding masks. You believe that if you add enough, you will eventually become whole.
This is the path of the Child seeking safety.
The path of the Adult is subtraction.
Human Adulthood is not a state you achieve by learning more; it is a state you reveal by unlearning the programming that keeps you enslaved.
You do not need to find "who you are." You need to destroy the false identities: the Victim, the Performer, the Pleaser, that are currently running your life.
Self-inquiry is not meditation. It is not "journaling your feelings." It is a demolition project. It is the ruthless application of the intellect to slice through the delusions of the conditioned mind.
It is dangerous work. It requires you to point the sword at the things you hold most dear: your beliefs, your stories, and your justifications, and ask: “Is this true, or is this just a script I was taught to read?”
We are not trying to vanish into the void. We are trying to clear the debris so you can finally stand on solid ground.
