Mastery of Self: a Closer Look

By W. Dutchak

“Mastery of Self – an inquiry” investigated the nature of self and what Mastery implied.

In this sequel “Mastery of Self – a closer look”, the author moves in the direction of inner meanings and unveils that which would benefit from mastery.
Success, identity and genuineness are revealed in their native states.
Is it a dream? What is objective and subjective in our comprehension of reality?
What is the “person”? Are we victims of conditioning? Could life be a game?

The many topics discussed aim at revelation beyond intellectual understanding.
See the naked self that we think ourselves to be. Get a taste of what Mastery could lead to.

DEDICATION

This little book is dedicated to those who have begun to seriously question their relationship to life. The first little book Mastery of Self – an inquiry, opened the door to this questioning. It was the device by which one's quest could start.

This sequel expounds more detail in various directions so that one might begin to move aside the veils that block or shade clear seeing into the essence upon which human nature is based.

I invite you to share that which came through me in moments of stillness.
