Meta is a word from ancient Greek meaning to transcend or go beyond. This site is about my personal experience of getting in touch with the part of me that has always existed. My true self – or Metabeing.
My false self led me down a path of destruction in my 20s and early 30s when I was in active alcoholism. Since getting sober at 34, I have been driven to be as far removed from the drunk that I was.
AA and the 12 Steps lay the foundation for my recovery from alcoholism. It not only saved my life, but it helped me to discover who I really was. Before then I was just an instant gratification monkey, looking for short term fixes to ease the pain.
Drunk or sober, throughout my life I’ve always wondered that age old question; who am I and what is the point of it all?
In reality the answer to the question of who I am merely strengthens the ego. I have stopped asking this question because it is irrelevant and offers another label to give ourselves in an already divided world. My spiritual faith has led me to believe that true self is pure consciousness. This site is about exploring and applying that idea, so that day to day life is led more by intuition rather than my monkey brain.
