Something to think about

I came across this in the 2012 book and thought it was amazing. I switched the paragraphs around because the second one ends with such a slam in your face about truth, the self and reality its incredible.


Similar to the famous line: "You think that's air you're breathing?"


Post to comments your immediate feelings and reaction, Id love to hear them!


Let the Enlightement BEGIN!!


Excerpt from A Singularity in Time - Peter Russell


Prophets of Wisdom
Another consistent realization of the awakened ones is that the essential nature of mind, uncluttered by worry and chatter, is one of deep ease, joy and love. Not recognizing this, most of us look to the world around us to provide us with peace and happiness. But despite all the messages from marketing and advertisting industries, things and events do not bring happiness. On the contrary, our minds are so full of scheming, planning and worrying whether or not we will get what we think will make us happy, we seldom experience the peace and ease that lie at our core.


The enlightened ones have realized the illusory nature of the concept of a unique individual self. When we examine our experienes closely, delving deep into the nature of what we call "I," we find that there is nothing there - no thing, that is. This sense of "I-ness" that we all know so well and that has been with us all our lives, is just our sense of being. It is awareness itself - so familiar, yet completely intangible. Thus it cannot be "known" in the ordinary sense. Not realizing this, we seek to give our sense of self some form, some substance. We dress it up in various psychological clothes - all the things we think we are, or would like to think we are. This is the reverse of the emperor having no clothes. With true self-awareness, one discovers there are lots of clothes, but no emperor inside them.

    Deep, in regards to what I think "I" am. I don't believe I will ever really know. That my "I" is constantly changing. It it will constantly changing for the rest of my life. But whatever my "I" is, it is up to me accepted it. If I choose not to, it is up to me again to try and mold into something that "I" can accept.

    dig into that my friend (I am still unsure if my point is coming across but the last part sounded good.)

    I think that’s something the paragraph says by "we all wear different clothes" and I would extend that by adding we also change them frequently based on the situation. BUT I do believe at the core, if peeled through the layers, there IS a single I - a very basic "Me" so to say. This I could also be just a mix of everything positive and negative - all we have experienced. A quote I have always loved is "every 7 years our cells become new so in a sense we become completely new people but quintessentially stay the same."
