Who are you, really?
¿QUIÉN ERES, EN VERDAD?Por Kosi
“Ningún concepto que hayas albergado acerca de ti mismo, ya sea que te ensalce o todo lo contrario, corresponde a quien tú eres. Es únicamente una idea. La verdad de quién eres no puede ser aprehendida con el pensamiento, ya que es de ahí de donde brotan todos los pensamientos. La verdad de quién eres no puede ser ni nombrada ni definida.
Conceptos tales como el alma, la luz, Dios, la verdad, el ser, la consciencia, la inteligencia universal o la divinidad, a pesar de la capacidad que poseen para evocar toda la beatitud que abarca la verdad, a la hora de describir la inmensidad de tu genuina naturaleza resultan manifiestamente inadecuados.
Da igual que te identifiques con el infante, con el adolescente, con la madre, el padre, la persona anciana, la sana, la enferma, la sufriente, o la iluminada – siempre, oculto tras todo eso se encuentra la verdad de quién eres. No es ajena a ti. De tan cerca que está ni puedes creer que eres tú.
La verdad de quién eres no se ve afectada por ningún concepto que alberques sobre ti mismo, te convierta este en ignorante o iluminado, en insignificante o importante. La verdad de tu genuina naturaleza escapa todo concepto. Tú ya estás libre de toda definición, y todo lo que bloquea que alcances la consciencia de esa libertad, es el apego que le tengas a cualquier noción sobre ti. Aunque dicha idea no va a impedir que seas quien en verdad eres, puesto que ya lo eres. Lo que va a hacer es alejarte de la consciencia de tu genuina naturaleza.
Te invito a que dejes que tu atención se sumerja en aquello que siempre ha estado aquí, expuesto, esperando a ser conocido. ¿Quién eres en verdad?
¿Eres esa imagen que aparece en tu mente? ¿Eres esa sensación que brota en tu cuerpo? ¿Eres esa emoción que atraviesa tu mente y tu cuerpo? ¿Eres esa cosa que alguien dijo que eras, o eres lo que se rebela contra aquello que alguien dijo que eras? Estas son algunas de las muchas maneras de identificarte erróneamente. Todas esas interpretaciones van y vienen, aparecen y más adelante desaparecen.
La verdad de quién eres no es algo que en un momento dado esté y después deje de estar. Se halla presente antes del nacimiento, durante toda la vida y continúa tras la muerte. El descubrimiento de tu verdadera naturaleza no solo es posible, sino que es tu derecho natural.”

SEED QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: How do you tap into the truth about you that lies beneath everything else? Can you share an experience of a time you felt this truth? What do you understand by "the truth of who you are does not come and go?"

Self realization does not reflect in the mirror- it reflects in all of life experiences as a teaching tool. Memories of even insignificant moments, along with profound moments come together and become what you are, what you understand, what you feel. In the end, compassion is the most valuable quality to identify yourself..the rest really doesn't matter.

We live in this cause and effect world and we see us in relation to the worldly matters. All of us have names and we all have a way to introduce ourselves. We are all so much lost in our relative self that we hardly get the time know our absolute self! Saints like Ramana Maharishi or J. Krishnamurty or many other religious leaders jolt us from this relative reality and we get the glimpse of our absolute self. This glimpse and the moment joy remains in our memory and than we make the grave error of knowing more about it through other worldly sources. More we learn from others or from books written by others, more confused we become! Adding reflection here is confusing our own self. Let us be alive naturally and choicelessly and be aware of peace & happiness!

GREETINGS from ARUNACHALA in the INDIA,where the saint RAMANA MAHARISHI lives (now in subtle form) WHO AM I ??? (check out RIBHU GITA) his teaching. we LOVE this text as it describes so well who we are NOT, because who WE ARE cant be put in words. but it can be EXPERIENCED ALL the time....there is some entity in us call it AWARENESS who is ALWAYS present and notices ALL the changing thoughts, feelings of the mind/body....once you live as a CONVICTION in that truth.......mind is freed from its identifications of thoughts and can rest in AWARENESS as your REAL,ETERNAL....BEING.....as we are HUMAN BEINGS.......ENJOY & DANCE.......

About a week ago, I was just lying in bed with my eyes closed but I could not fall asleep, when what I would call waves of awareness passed through my being. It only lasted a few seconds but I feel the experience has changed me forever. A shift from my identity as a personality and body to just awareness. I call it grace because I did nothing to deserve it. My task as I see it is to lose the attachment to my name, Sidney, and all that is associated with it while still functioning in my daily life with awareness.

Who you are does not come and go - it just is. The ancient sages understood this, across religions. It's being an observer, and the observed at the same time. The physicality of being changes, the emotions and the thoughts change, but the one within, who sees all this, the one who feels, and thinks - that is what one is.

I have had this profound sense of inner knowing a few times now in different contexts, once during a soul plan reading, once during a Reiki retreat, and once during meditation at a QiGong retreat. It seemed like, I knew the truth of these insights that arose, at soul level, some of this was surprising - as in me, can I really be that! Some was accompanied by a flood of emotion. And yes, it seems like I have to let go of attachment to some misperception that has held me back from some of these realisations. I trust that with time, as more of such misperceptions are released, more inner truth will conitnue to be revealed. As I am more at peace, and present, and in my body, I will continue to be able to connect with my inner truth.

When I was in psychotherapy, I learned that I had an inner truth, which I learned to trust and value. This learning gave me a new view on life and about myself and made all the difference in the world. I learned (and am still learning) to pay attention to my inner truth and use it in my actions and decisions. At a much later time, I learned that my inner truth is an expression of Truth/Infinity Being/God, which reinforced my valuing of and listening to it. That awareness and practice has added to my appreciation of life, for which I am grateful. "The truth of who you are does not come and go" means to me that there is a connection between my inner truth and the Source, and while my ego, thinking, emotions, awareness,and form change, the connection between my inner truth and the Source doesn't come and go, it's a constant, if I am aware of it or not.
