Reverse Engineering Our Self
That which we think of as ‘our self ‘ is an over-excited mind which excites consciousness. We think we are this mind, but that is actually the reverse of our reality. This is all observed by consciousness.
When, through meditation, this conscious awareness is realised, there is nothing else is present. That is pure consciousness. Any feeling of “I am” obscures pure perception. There is no observer as that would imply a self again.
The habitual mistake we make – which is, in fact, our programming – is that we learn to conform from birth. Had any original thoughts lately? 🙂
This doesn’t mean we’re nothing. There is just empty cognisance, fully alive but not identifying as anything. When we identify, we are holding on to an idea, and this is ego clinging, which is the cause of confusion, pride and suffering.
This pure, uncontaminated view is a totally different way of being
and it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
