Direct Pathways to Being

A man who is new to the direct path asks how to go directly to being in meditation, which sometimes happens spontaneously and sometimes with self-enquiry. He asks what the best tool is. Rupert responds that there are different pathways because we are all different. The question 'Am I aware?' works well for some. For others, it can be a matter of focusing on the 'I am'. Sometimes different pathways work at different times for the same person. The simplest, clearest is to say the name 'I' and allow it to take you directly to its referent. In the Direct Path, there really is no tool or practice. Instead ask 'Why do I want to practice?' and see whether a sense of lack is creating the impulse to practice.
