The Real "You"

This blog is not for the spiritualy timid. It's for those who are willing to start looking inwards at the workings of the ego/mind rather than focusing on external phenomena. One is not subject to negative mentalities and stress when the mind doesn't react (fight or flight) to outside phenomenon. One is not subject to the faulty workings of the ego/mind at all when one stops identifying the automatic random repetitive thoughts of the mind as being "me". The very nature of the ego/mind can be summed up in one word... DRAMA. And what is drama? It's the absence of peace (of mind).

Just like the heart or lungs, the mind is going and going all by itself. Take 5 minutes to watch the mind and see for yourself. You can't control it. You can't stop it by controlling it, but you can (eventually) stop it by simply non-judgementally watching it and taking notice of it. You are not the body and its senses. You are not the mind and its thoughts. You are the still, silent Awareness that is aware of them. Now the big question is... Do you want to wholely and completely BE that Awareness of profound peace, silence, and happiness, which is the real You? Or do you prefer and enjoy the drama and suffering created by the ego/mind? (Many people do, but that's because of the ego/mind.) Knowingly or unknowingly, this is why people practice meditation. That which you are knowingly or unknowingly seeking, is causing you to seek. It's calling you to Itself. It's calling you back Home from whence you came. Do you want to "remember" who/what you actually are?

You are ALREADY That, but it's being covered and masked by concepts, notions, thoughts, thinking, and emotions. All one needs to do is lose interest in ALL thought and thinking as it arises, and before it arises.
