I am not my country, not my family,
not my job, not my hobby, not my identity.

I am not my head, my torso, my legs, my arms,
not my body.

I am not my ideas;
not my thoughts, not my feelings, not my emotions.

I am the ultimate background upon which all of those,
are painted and erased.

I am what I am;

I am.

Rizal,

To know who you are and are not is to know what you are and are not. :D

Amazing to read this after posting on my own blog. The illusions of time and space continue to fall away.

To move beyond separation is to realize one is alive yet, temporarily forgets what existence entails. As the mind grows more alert, it is no longer distracted. Oneness reveals itself. Everyone on the same frequency is aligning in the same being, doing the same thing simultaneously in different dimensions or time-space continuums.

@ Alexys: Indeed, “who” or “what” is simply a matter of language after all :D

@ Liara: Ah, lovely to read yours too, Liara. Thanks for sharing :)

How can a drop in the sea say..’I am’?
A nice post.

As much as the sea itself says so :D you’re welcome, Surjit :)

All things about us change, except that ultimate background. I love this one – I’ve shared it on my face-book. I am grateful for your being.

Peace, Light and Love, C.

Hi, CordieB…

Glad you love this. And… thank you for spreading it :)

Love to you too :)

As one moves beyond the concept of “I am,” one begins to realign with the nothingness.

One view is all phenomena are naturally uncreated. Theyneither exist nor cease, neither arrive or depart. They have no point of reference. They are ineffable and free from thought. The mind cannot conceive this.

Hi Liara,

I guess that’s another perspective from what I’ve been trying to convey. Very nice :D
