The quest for Truth

Hey Jed,
I have been 'trying' self-inquiry since a while. I am not able
to get in touch with the sense of 'I am.' When I close my eyes
and ask, 'Who am I?' I am aware of some vague images of the
lining of my body, some sensations, sounds... all perception.
There is just perception. Not able to find an I nor the sense of
I am.
Should I keep doing it the way I am doing it? Or can you point
me towards a more accurate direction?
Thanks!
Sager

Hi Sager:
What are expecting to get? Seriously... not trying to be a
smart-ass... but tell me what are expecting.
Then I will point as best I can.
Love ya, Jed

Now that you asked, it got clarified for me. I have been looking
for an experience of 'no-self.' An experience where my body
dissolves and merges with everything and I realise that I am
everything and there is nothing else. A sudden explosion. A
miraculous/magical experience. At lease an insight into the
Truth. A grand aha moment.

Forget all those things, you don't really know if they are even
possible. You have to go with the attitude that anything that
arises is not It. Just keep seeking that which informs you that
you are. Stick with it.
Love ya, Jed.

I have been trying the same thing since a while; inquiring, 'Who
am I?'. Not consistently though. But recently, got really
serious about it. Thanks to the book Spiritual Warfare and some
other factors maybe.
So, I realise that what I am looking for is not something I can
imagine, perceive, think of or conceive of. And I keep on
looking. And I don't find anything. The mind gets distracted. I
bring it back. In a session of one hour, serious inquiry happens
for maybe ten minutes.
So? Should I just keep looking and looking and looking?

Do it this way, focus for ten minutes and then stop. Go have a
beer, watch YT, anything you want... but not inquiry. Ten
focused minute only.
Love ya, Jed
