Part 3, “Liberation” (2025)
Part 3, “Liberation” (2025)
"If the mind is turned inwards towards the source of thought, where is the individual? The mind merges into its source, the Heart, and dissolves like a salt doll that has fallen into the ocean." —Ramana Maharshi
“Liberation” is the complete dissolution of personal self-identity and unconscious conditioning allowing pure Awareness to flow without obstruction. Through self-inquiry, one turns inward to directly recognize their true nature where meditation and inquiry merge into effortless being.
Key Themes:
- Dissolution of the Separate Self: Liberation is the complete falling away of personal identity and mental conditioning.
- Self-Inquiry as the Direct Path: The question "Who am I?" turns attention inward, revealing one’s true nature beyond thought.
- Effortless Being: As the illusion of self dissolves, practices vanish, leaving only the natural state of Awareness.
This episode features real one-on-one Dyads, as practiced in the I Am Retreats led by Dan Schmidt and inspired by the Enlightenment Intensives of Charles Berner. It also includes insightful conversations with Michael James, Rupert Spira, Swami Sarvapriyananda, Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati, Sri Ramanacharana Tirtha Swami, Av Neryah, Angelo Dilullo, Dr. Sarada Natarajan, Tom Das, and Swami Muktananda — offering a rich tapestry of perspectives on self-inquiry.

The Awakening Mind Film Series is a collaboration between Awakening Mind Films, LLC, the Awaken the World Initiative, and the Center for Awakening.
Understand that the peace and happiness for which we all long above all else can never, by definition, be found in objective experience. It can never be provided by objects, substances, activities and relationships. I would suggest understanding that clearly and not spending the rest of one’s life seeking fulfillment where it can not be found.
Anyone who is watching this movie is doing so precisely because they have either understood or at least intuited that the peace and happiness for which they long cannot be found in objective experience and have begun this investigation into their true nature. That is the most important investigation one can make. It is the investigation upon which depends our happiness.
