Overview

Everyone is subject to these three main feelings: Fear; Desire to know; Desire for happiness, freedom, and fulfilment. Attainment of Self-knowledge fulfils all of these desires. The highest purpose of life is to know and realise your true essential nature: the Consciousness-Awareness, known as the inner, changeless, ever-present, blissful Self. The Self is the witness to your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and perceptions. The changeless Self is your true identity. You are not the body-mind or ego-personality. You are the subject and the body-mind is the objects of your awareness. Your original state of being is Oneness, in which there is no separation, and no duality. It is the ego, the separate-self, that constructs the subject-object duality, a separate-I, and false identification with the mind-body. It is because of self-ignorance that we have forgotten our true spiritual nature and feel different and separate from others and God. The illusion of separation and misidentification is the cause of our suffering and bondage. The ignorance of this illusion disappears with knowledge of the Self (Self-Knowledge). This book is a constant, daily reminder of our true essential nature. It is a contemplative book for all those who have forgotten or are unaware of their true spiritual identity. It is for all those who are seeking to know the Truth, God, Ultimate Reality, lasting happiness, security, inner peace, love, contentment, and spiritual fulfilment. You are destined to be spiritually enlightened! This book in the form of spiritual comic strips will open your mind and heart to remember, recognise, and know your true nature - the Self - to set you free in peace, love, and joy!

Author Information

Since childhood Stephen has always been interested in art, and was influenced by his father who painted in oils. He has always been interested in comics that are beautifully drawn. In childhood his favourite British comic was the Eagle, with such stories as Dan Dare, and Heros the Spartan. His favourite newspaper comic strip was the Daily Mirror's Garth, and in later years the American newspaper strip Peanuts. It was the Peanuts comic strips that gave Stephen the idea to write this spiritual book in the form of comic strips, with the aim of awakening the awareness of the reader to recognise and know their own true spiritual nature and purpose in life. Stephen Sturgess was a student at Croydon College of Art and Design, London (1972-1976). He has been practising Yoga and meditation since 1970, and teaching Yoga and meditation since 1972. He trained under well-known and respected enlightened swamis from India. In 1983 Stephen was initiated into Kriya Yoga meditation by Swami Kriyananda (1926-2013), a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-1952). Stephen is the author of: The Yoga Book. The Book of Chakras and the Subtle Bodies. Yoga Meditation (Everyday Yoga Meditation). The Supreme Art and Science of Raja and Kriya Yoga. Mastering the Mind - Realising the Self. Willpower and Energy (Yogananda's Energisation Exercises). The Daughter of the Merchant of Venice (a historical novel).
