Being Ourself is an accessible, original, and straightforward book which invites readers to recognize that we are all indivisible aspects of a single, yet infinitely diverse reality. The book provides the word 'Ourself' to refer to this absolute whole because of the word's inherently inclusive nature. Being Ourself takes readers beyond 'oneness' and 'interconnectedness,' and directly into the experience of living consciously as part of the source and substance of reality itself.
The book starts out by thoroughly exploring the ways that the 'me, myself, and I' paradigm of thought, and its underlying assumption that we are each inherently separate, blinds us to life's innate wholeness. The book goes on to lead readers as distinct individual expressions of Ourself to a re-discovery of their unique talents, strengths, and interests within this holistic context. The book introduces readers to the profoundly liberating and natural spiritual practice of 'exalting in Ourself.' Finally, the book explores the positive impact 'being Ourself' has on one's personal relationships by providing a revolutionary new context for intimacy.
Ty Clement lives in Montana has been a social worker, interior mural painter, and professional musician.

The indigenous community recognizes that the collective and the individual move together, in a dance of interdependence, as essential elements in the ‘whole’ of community. Each of us is a thread in the garment of ‘Ourself’; our survival may well depend on our hearing this message from the world of spirit. ~ Malidoma P. Somé, Phd, African elder, leader in the men's movement, and author of Of Water and the Spirit and The Healing Wisdom of Africa.
Being Ourself takes you on a journey into the heart and soul of human existence. It is about finding yourself in Ourself and finding Ourself in yourself. Life comes through us, and not, from us. The sooner we realize this notion residing within us and all around us, the sooner we can all Be Ourself. Thanks Ty Clement for helping us to remember who we really are. ~ Sam Oliver, Hospice Chaplain, and author of What the Dying Teach Us: Lessons on Living (a Doubleday Book Club selection) and The Path Into Healing
"This book spoke to me very clearly about the awakening of the evolution of consciousness which I believe is happening on the planet." ~ Elmira Ingersoll, 98 year old spiritual elder and co-director of the spiritual retreat Harmony House in Lyme, Connecticut
