Introduction

This little book is a celestial gem. It is an Invitation to real Self-discovery. It is your true companion. You could read through the entire book in a few minutes, but that would be to miss the magnificence it can awaken within you. So take time and sink into its embrace, and let it guide you Home.

An Invitation to Freedom truly offers immediate awakening to everyone who longs for Self-realisation. Many seekers believe that awakening will happen only after a long journey of spiritual study and practice. Here, we begin at the end, so that you cannot deny or doubt the obviousness and naturalness of absolute Being.

And if there is any practice to be done, it will only be to fend off any habit that causes you to doubt your realisation of the Truth. Use this pocket book over and over again as your own mini emergency manual to freedom.

You may be surprised that the Invitation has the power to reveal the Truth so directly when it is generally regarded that awakening is rare, difficult and requires tremendous effort. Some even believe it is a myth. The world knows so few examples of liberated beings that the idea of Self-realisation seems inaccessible to ordinary people.

For those who may think that awakening to the Real is in conflict with life, be assured that the true Self is that which gives life to life. It causes life to unfold and flow with grace, harmony, peace and love. The Invitation reveals the true life.

As you follow the Invitation earnestly, you will recognise that what you are discovering is deeply familiar to you, for what we are searching for is already what we arethe ever perfect, impersonal awareness. The Truth that we are one indivisible Being, which the mind avoids and denies, is now being fully confirmed inside your own heart. True Being is beyond the rigidity of personal identity, or ego. It is timeless awarenesspure spirit.

Only the conditioned consciousness can evolve or be developed. The naturalthe Supreme Selfcan only be discovered. This quintessential understanding is the missing link, we could say, in the human expression of consciousness. Nothing but the real discovery of the Self will satisfy humanitys deep longing and ultimate desire for lasting peace and happiness.

Each pointing within this book is essential and must be followed implicitly. Let the words enter your heart. Hear and feel them resonate within your being, the place of their origin. Dont move ahead until each sentence is felt, understood and confirmed internally. Beware of the minds tendencies to doubt, interpret or distort. Observe the ease and simplicity with which the guidance flows within you, like water being poured into water.

As the Invitation blossoms inside, keep confirming it whenever you can, to your hearts joy. Any mist will quickly clear as the true Self, the Is-ness*, keeps revealing itself as the ever present,all-encompassing reality.

* Is-ness/What Is: Mooji uses these terms spontaneously and interchangeably to point to the wordless, formless Reality that all beings know intuitively to be themselves, though they may not as yet be consciously aware of the profundity of this understanding. Since it is indefinable, Is-ness or the What Is must be experienced inside the heart as if it were a kind of formless noun. It points to the ultimate Self we already are. It is also referred to and known by many other names such as God, pure Awareness, Truth, Brahman, Paramatman, Supreme Spirit, the Source, pure Consciousness, the pure Mind, the Supreme Being, the Self, the Absolute.

Dont give it any shape. That which Is, or what we call pure Awareness, is beyondnames and forms. It is unfathomable to the mind. It is the essence, unimaginablyReal. It is timeless, uncreated, imperishable. ~ Mooji

Today we are here to discover our true Self, our very own Being, that which is Real and in accordance with the insights and direct experience of the greatest sages and seers of all time. Through the grace of the Invitation, we too will directly experience that the one Self alone exists and that we are one with It.

If you are longing for Self-discovery and the urge to be free is alive and compelling, this Invitation is for you. Grace has put this yearning inside your heart, and so it is possible to come to this direct recognition without delay. It works, it works, it worksyesterday, today, tomorrow and always.
