"Where was I 
Before I AM?
How many Bodies are we?
Where do I go when I sleep?
Where are the deceased?"

(4 Meditations On Existence – Science Of The Immortals)

These 4 questions – SOTI Meditations, are created to make us think about the nature of ‘Existence’ and of ourselves.  What do we do with them and how do they help us?
 
The power of these 4 meditations is that they cause us to reflect on the nature of ‘Self’ by engaging in ‘Introspection.’ They are an access point,  a lens into the Self
 
A significant part of the work of psychologists and psychotherapists and others engaged in healing the mind, is listening and ‘talking issues through’ with a client, thereby shining a light on what the individual is experiencing. 
 
What is the purpose of introspection? – Its purpose is to find out who we really are, by examining our ‘inner space.’  This self-examination – through the process of 'reflection' and 'self analysis,' enables us to become an ‘observer’ of our own lives, its meaning and purpose - thereby, providing the information necessary to make positive changes. Conducted properly and regularly - it is a ‘Self Empowering’ activity - truly liberating.
