John Siddique is a writer and sacred teacher who helps people live from their own clear centre in the middle of ordinary life. His work is for those who’ve had enough of spiritual performance and self-improvement, and who want a simple, honest way to be present, sane, and kind with themselves on their journey of self-knowing and illumination. His meditations and teachings have been downloaded more than 3.9 million times here on Insight Timer, and his book Signposts of the Spiritual Journey offers down-to-earth guidance to help you meet and illuminate the real challenges of modern life with awareness and love. His work has appeared in Time, Women & Home, The Guardian, the BBC and elsewhere, but what matters most to him is that you feel more actual yourself, and not not more “perfect.”

One of my all time favorites. I remember first reading Desiderata as a young person and it still resonates today ❤️
