Ayla's BOOK of TRUTH

for the Inner Work Aficionado

This is the first of 4 Tomes

Truth

Spades

*followed soon by Love (Hearts), Inspiration (Clubs) and Purpose (Diamonds)

I hope this book will help guide you towards clearing away some of the traps that pseudo-spirituality and mass psycho-babbling promote out there nowadays and that, through actively engaging in experimenting with the tools presented here, you will be able to make actual tangible progress in your life. Another way you can enhance your opportunity to seriously work on yourself is to purchase Ayla’s Cards of Truth deck and use it as an inner guide or oracle, in order to be able to discern quicker and easier and probably at times more accurately, what exactly you are supposed to be focusing on while walking on this path.

Please understand that this is not your common accompanying book of a tarot deck where you have a description of meanings, but an actual companion for your inner journey mapped out with the help of the Cards of Truth system.

This Book is for you if:

You feel absolutely sick of your experience and are committed to getting out from under it once and for all.
You have been looking for answers for a while now, but, for some reason, you have not been able to translate any of the answers you’ve found into productive ways that truly, meaningfully change your experience.
Something perpetually intervenes between what you know you have to do and what you are actually, tangibly doing.
You are at your wits’ end and feel lost and don’t know where to even begin to look for a solid foundation for your life.
You are committed to feeling whatever you will feel, no matter how painful, how humbling, or how frightening.
You are ready, able and eager to consistently challenge what you think you know about life and about yourself.

This book might not be for you if:

Your mind is closed and pinned into concepts that you hold as truths that you feel unwilling or unable to challenge.
You are merely shopping around for distracting information that allows you to keep floating away on the ocean of your current experience.
You are not ready to deeply, courageously look for what keeps you away from the Joy you say you are looking for.
You think inner work is a journey of happy-go-lucky positive-vibe Unicorns, Fairies and Bliss-Bunnies.

This is about “I”.

It is about what it means to be human on Earth on the most personal level.

The Truth book covers these topics, from an inner-work perspective:

Ace of Spades - Who Am I?

Take up a meditative practice.
Allow new understandings to come in about who you are.
Develop your “awareness muscle”.
Revise and challenge every single notion you have.
Develop radical openness.

Two of Spades - What Do I Need?

Research upon human needs and tackle those first.
Develop trust in your body’s ability to supply its own needs.
Learn to recognize and dissociate the story from the sensation.

Three of Spades - What to Let Go Of?

Learned adaptations.
Stories that only serve to perpetuate survival-based adaptations and thus dis-ease.
Blaming and projecting your inabilities on people.

Four of Spades - Feeling Stable

Allow yourself to develop your “awareness muscle”
Constantly reinforce the focus on what your sensations are as opposed to what your mind translates them as
Watch out for the “Poor Me” and other mind parasites that might hijack your development
Consistently practice self-compassion and gratitude

Five of Spades - What to perfect

Chose one path, one method, one person to sustain you and TRUST them.
Fighting your most important battle.
Make sure that what you trust or affirm as being “your truth” is not some hidden agenda of your unassumed psyche
Remember that peace comes from silence, not from excitement or anger or gloom
Be vigilant with what you hold true as concepts
The mantra THANK YOU is priceless

Six of spades - Cruising Away
