SUMMARY - CHAPTER 7

Realization of the Truth

There are 10 established methods that we can contemplate to realize the Truth that we are not the body, nor the mind but the Soul.

1. The Law of Causation: The body and mind are justeffects. We are the cause.
2. The Peeling Method: If we virtually peel the body,we will realize that we are not the body.
3. The Consciousness Method: If we are not the waker,the dreamer, the sleeper, but we are, then who are we?
4. Meditation: It stops the mind from the constantproduction of thoughts and makes it focus on one thought.
5. Questioning: We can realize the truth by asking questions like 'What came first: chicken or egg?'
6. The Negation Method: We must realize who we arenot, and then we will realize who we truly are.
7. Understanding what makes us beautiful: We are notthe beautiful body that we appear to be. It decays. We are the Life Energy within that causes the beauty.
8. The Seer and Seen Method: If we realize that we areobservers, we can realize the truth of who we really are.
9. Our 'given' names: Our names are just our names - ourmistaken identity. Truly, our names are not us in reality.
10. Scientific Reasoning: Even science now endorses that we are not matter. We are energy.

We can use any of these methods to Realize the Truth. But this is just the beginning of the journey to Liberation, our Ultimate Goal!
