Awakening to Your True Self

  “ After many hours of class and lots of experiential learning behind me. I sat across from my teacher and asked ………. “If this isn’t who I am, then who am I ?”   He smiled and gave me a look that implied (ah grasshopper, you finally ask the right question)…. that was my
