Jaden Ramsey

Hi, I’m Jaden Ramsey, a student of life. I came to BTGY for the first time over two years ago and have been practicing in alignment with its principles ever since. I’ve been on a search for Truth since early adolescence. I always felt like there was something missing from life. Happiness seemed to be the goal, but everything I was told would make me happy was fleeting. I would say that I started down the path of self-discovery when I was in college. My initiation into the spiritual path started with questions like “what does it mean to be happy and why does it seem like it is a state that cannot be maintained?” These questions and others left me frustrated as my search lead to no end. I was very disturbed with a highly fluctuating mind at this stage in my life. I continued to seek out things that I thought would create long-lasting happiness, only to find out when I arrived there I was just as miserable as before. I finally reached a tipping point when I graduated from college and entered the corporate world as a financial analyst at a Fortune 50 company. At this point, I had checked many of the boxes that society conveyed would lead to lifelong fulfilment, but I still felt incomplete. Within the two years working in the corporate environment I had a huge personal paradigm shift.

Meanwhile, I had started a daily practice of yoga which seemed to bring me closer than ever to what I was seeking. Was what I was looking for all along inside myself? After turning my world outside-in for a couple of months, with consistent practice and meditation, it seemed like this was the case (still does to this day; actually I'm certain of it now). My mindset started to shift. Things began to naturally fall away from my life that didn’t serve me any longer, so the outer world was changing just as much as the inner world. I started to realize that self-study and practice was the only way to this lifelong fulfilment. Working to become a master of the self is the only thing that I have found thus far that brings the happiness and freedom I seek. Read more....
