that which we are
Descartes said "we think so we are", well i have realized there are times i can not switch off my mind from thinking about an issue.What makes me know am separate from my thoughts is the fact that am able to make this observation.I am aware of my thoughts so am not my thoughts , i am the witnessing presence behind the thoughts.I am aware of what is happening in my mind so i can not be my mind or my thoughts.I would like to define some popular terms we use to define who we are.
a soul
A soul is to the spirit what a heart is to the physical body.A heart and a soul act like a door, the soul ushers you into the spiritual realm wheareas a heart ushers you out into the physical dimension.The soul connects you with the absolute consciousness whereas the heart connects you to the physical 3D dimension that we live in.Its no wonder then people use the words soul and heart as thou they are one.
the mind
The mind is an instrument of consciousness.It is not who we are,many times i hear people say the value of a person is measure by the content of their mind.So we call people clever or smart,truth is it is from a point of stilllness that creativity is born.Can we live without the mind? yes we can.Think of comatose patients,the brain dies but they are still alive.Consciousness or life is still manifest in them,they may not experience things of the 3d but they are still alive.The ego is that which rules the mind,it is that which takes over and tells us we are whatever the mind says we are.If you find it hard to understand how one can not be free of the mind make a habit of observing your thoughts and emotions and you realize you are not them.
the body
The body is a vehicle for consciouness to manifest.Just as a vehicle is useful only when we are able to use it so is the body.In this 3D world consciouness manifests through bodies, bodies carrying knowledge.A bird,an ant,a crocodile ,a human being all these are bodies through which consciouness has manifested itself.Each has a different level of knowledge but that which we are is the same.WE ARE LIFE.Therefore where life is so are we.Life then is not about the situations or dramas we find ourselves into we are life.Hence without our being alive the world can not be .The world is because we are. if you are not life then what are you?
we are life....many times we forget. we are pulled into life situations. we become fixated.we loose touch with our beingness. life situations are fleeting. but life is not. thanks for this.
