Radical Inquiry Process (RIP)
You’ve been peddled improvement, shiny new personas, spiritual merit badges, and paths that promise “the real you” at the end of the rainbow. If you’re reading this, it’s because none of it stuck, or you finally saw that “being a better me” is just a coffin lined with gold mesh. The Radical Inquiry Process (RIP) isn’t another accessory for your ego or a ritual for self-betterment. It’s a funeral for every illusion, every story, every second-hand belief you once called your identity. This is the end of the masquerade, the burial of “you.”
How to Use the Radical Inquiry Process (RIP)
-
Brutal honesty required: No pretty eulogies, no spiritual theater, no glamorized suffering. If you’re not ready to lose every anchor, don’t step into the grave.
-
Do it on paper or aloud: If it stays buried in your head, the mind resurrects old lies. Drag every rationalization into daylight, watch them dissolve.
-
Go step by step: No skipping steps, no shortcuts to the afterlife. The order matters; let each blow land.
-
Interrogate all ghosts: Every answer is a revenant. Every belief is clawing its way out of the earth to survive. Identify, question, and rebury each one.
-
Lean into discomfort: If the ground shifts, if you flinch, if it hurts, that’s the sound of the old “me” going under. Ease means you’re just tending the cemetery.
Repeat eternally: There’s no final resting place. Freedom is perpetual unearthing and re-burial. Every time the “me” reanimates, the RIP process resumes.
Requirements:
Grave-level sincerity. Courage to lose your finest stories. Willingness to stand in the emptiness beyond every funeral procession.
Outcome:
Not self-betterment. Not inner peace as a product. What remains is raw reality, utterly yours, solely because there’s no “you” left to claim it.
Ready for your last rites?
Step to the edge. Shovel in hand. Begin with Step 1.
Radical Inquiry Process: let the burial begin. Rest in (true) peace.
