Valeria interviews Ilona Ciunaite, the author of Liberation Unleashed.
Ilona was born in Lithuania. Always interested in the mind and how it works, she has a degree in psychology and a mind-set to focus on freedom for herself and those who find her.
Ilona's search for truth started in 2002 when for the first time she experienced silence of the thinking mind, a sweet sense of being, peace that felt like home. In 2010 she discovered Jed McKenna's books, which were a shock to her belief system and moved her to question all that she believed about the nature of reality. Once the initial deconstruction was done, after months of painful self-inquiry, the last step was taken and the separate self was seen to be an illusion.
She started writing a blog, Marked, Eternal, where she shared thoughts about this newfound freedom and invited readers to look for themselves in their own experience.
In September 2011, the Liberation Unleashed website and forum was launched. Liberation Unleashed is a global community of guides helping seekers to see through the illusion of a separate self, free of charge.
Ilona’s main focus and work is inviting seekers to question their fundamental assumptions and look at their own experience. In this way, a seeker may see what is going on for themselves and resolve their own questions which leads to recognition of beingness. Ciunaite holds live and online meetings, she works with groups and privately.
Liberation Unleashed book was published in 2016 by New Harbinger publications and it is a lively, fresh, and moving account of the author’s own searching, liberation, and transformation, woven together with the stories of fellow seekers and a clear exposition of the simple, focused tools you can use to go through the “gateless gate.” With its conversational tone, provocative questions, and the presentation of the seven steps this book serves as a manual, demonstrating how to use self-inquiry at home and realize a blissful oneness.
So many of us go through life feeling isolated, searching for ourselves, or seeking a more authentic reality through religion, spirituality, or other, more unconventional means of expanding consciousness. Now, with this book and its guiding principles, you’ll learn how to look deeply into what is arising in the moment; meet the fears, mental blocks, and reservations that can arise in self-inquiry; and find what your heart is truly longing for.
