I Am Not My Self
We hear the phrase, “I’m not my self today”, meaning that I’m not my usual projection. It is tiresome to have to hold up our pretend self to the world continually, and it’s one of the reasons we avoid true interactions, and merely play the game of ‘small talk’.
Our self is a collection of traumas that we live with – that is to say, our karma. It shows in everything we say and do, and it is this that makes us feel vulnerable, creating our constant inner conflict of good and evil.
Good is confident clarity, and evil is confusion, which causes chaos. Never think that evil is out to do harm; it cannot help itself, for it knows not what it does.
The essence of consciousness is pure; we have always been pure consciousness, but we downgrade our true reality into identifying with our mind’s traumas, thus justifying these traumas.
Never be your self.
Be what you truly are – pure knowingness.
