Jhana Yoga - the meraki method

Jnana Yoga

< The Intellectual Path >

Through the Jnana path, one systematically dismantles the structures of false identification, revealing the luminous awareness that has always been present. The goal is to attain liberation (moksha) through realizing one's true nature beyond the limited ego-Self. This realization brings about a state of inner peace & freedom from suffering that fundamentally transforms how one relates to one’s Self, others, & life's inevitable challenges.

The journey typically unfolds through several phases ::

  1. Recognition of Conditioning: Becoming aware of how one's perspectives have been shaped by past experiences, cultural influences, & unconscious patterns
