Forgot who “I” am
“I” am a collection of attitudes, beliefs, relationships.
There is no “I” there is only what “is”.
We need greater awareness of what “is” in order to know who we are.
What is inside us, and what is outside of us.
In North America, I have lost touch with what “is”.
When we seek comfort, we lose touch with who we are, and with what “is”, because we become attached to what is there.
This could be about our environment, this could be about our relationships of dependence on others.
We can only really depend on each other if we are all free. If we are all free we can love each other for who we are and “what is”. We acknowledge that each person-contained-in-a-body is ever changing and dynamic.
As such, we don’t hold grudges when that person changes, just like the way we don’t hold grudges against ourself when we change.
To put this in practice is a harder problem, since our body is conditioned to crave and seek certainty. We are also a collection of habits.
Without awareness, we find it harder to escape our entrenched habits and thus our outlook and behaviour towards life becomes more inflexible and less responsive to change.
Inflexibility is the beginning of the death process. The fully living are always open to change and embrace change.
