You are not your Body

In introducing myself to someone. I may refer to my height, weight, or age. My body regenerates itself about every ten years, who is conscious of and observes the physical transformation from knee-high to towering adult, from 13Kg to 108Kg and then back down to 95Kg. You have managed to maintain a sense of being yourself despite none of these physical attributes remaining the same. The one who is aware of your physical transformation is the real you.

You Are Not Your Mind

You have no control over how thoughts come or not; so how can they be said to be coming from you? If you are generating the thought, can you also be the one observing it? This creates an Object and Subject conundrum. The subject (the real you) is observing the object (thoughts) they are not the same. Consider then that the real you is the one who is conscious of and able to observe the activity of the mind and not the mind itself.

You Are Awareness

Awareness is the persistent innate essence from which your deepest sense of being, originates and is the source of your creativity, resilience, and ability to adapt from which your experience of life flows. Everything we seek happiness, peace, contentment, and love is already available and manifests in the realm of our awareness.
