Self Inquiry an investigation into Being |

Inquiring into the nature of existence is what this investigation is about. What we will focus on is the entity called the ‘self’ and the ways that we have identified with this ‘being’. But unlike any intellectual endeavour, there is no point of departure, no starting point, from which we are to begin. Neither is there a finishing point, a point of arrival, at which we end. Instead, all we will do is begin and end right where we are, which paradoxically is right where we’ve always been.
My name is Harry Liantziris, and I was born in 1969, in Melbourne, Australia. I can not say when my interest in ‘Self Inquiry’ began. For as much as I can remember, I’ve often wondered about who we are, and what our place might be. There was a time though that the investigation became quite serious. What I mean is that I truly longed for finding out. My search took me through the academic heights of Western philosophy, and then to the mystical and spiritual traditions of the East. For a decade, I kept asking questions, read a great deal of highly developed ideas, and was mesmerised by the writings of saints. Yet, something was still missing; a piece of the puzzle had not fallen into place. It was not till I met ‘Sailor’ Bob Adamson in 2005 that the searching finally ceased. What Bob did for me was point out an amazingly simple thing. All he said was Harry, you’re already what you’re searching for. And that was it. Today, I offer the same message to anyone who’s still looking. So if you care to join this investigation, then welcome. I hope that what you find here is what your heart longs for.
