Before I Am, Second Edition: The Direct Recognition of Truth

Before I Am is a selection of dialogues between Mooji, a warm-hearted spiritual master, and seekers of peace, truth and freedom. While Mooji's presence carries a devotional fragrance, the words and drawings that spring from his Being are of the nature of non-duality. It is Mooji's unsparing pointing to Truth, through the method of self-inquiry, which forms the essence of this book. At times humorous, at times tender, occasionally sharp and always loving, Mooji responds to questioners as they speak of fear, suffering, confusion, relationships, spiritual practice and how to live their lives in peace.

With unsparing honesty, palpable love and much humour Mooji guides questioners to investigate the nature of the self and to rest effortlessly as the fullness and emptiness of Beingness. His answers encourage, challenge and never fail to illuminate. Enriched with Mooji's exquisite brush drawings, the potency of this book will not leave you unchanged. It will take you to the very heart of your Self.

Mooji is a true light in this world, whose presence, wisdom and loving guidance point us to who we are beyond the limitations of our personal conditioning and identity. In open interactions with this great spiritual Master, seekers of Truth from all backgrounds and traditions are introduced to the direct path to freedom through self-inquiry and The Invitation-which is proving to be one of the most effective aids for true and lasting Self-realisation. Universal in his appeal, Mooji's wisdom, compassion, openness and humour profoundly touch the hearts of those who meet him, thereby inspiring each one to find within themselves the deep peace, love and silence they recognise in him.
