About the Book
Journey Inward: A walk toward victory over the ego
“This is not a course for linear logic. It is for you to observe inwardly and see the truth of yourself. Ego can be defined as a person’s self-esteem or self-worth. We cannot put an end to the ego. As long as we have breath, our ego will breathe with us. My intention is not to capture and detain the ego. That would not be possible, as the ego is intangible. What we will set out to do is observe. Observe inwardly our thoughts and emotions. I want to give you a tool that is of great importance in any endeavor, especially in a self-defence situation. That tool is called awareness. Make no mistake, this is indeed self-defence.”
