In this episode we ask the question: Who or what am I?
Let's begin with the voice inside your head. It's impossible not to be aware of the voice in your head, the committee that is constantly chattering or the roommate that is pestering you or your mother or father's correcting voice. Have you ever questioned who or what this voice is? What's behind it?

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Who or what am I? Let's begin with the voice inside your head. It's impossible not to be aware of the voice in your head, the committee that is constantly chattering or the roommate that is pestering you or your mother or father's correcting voice. Have you ever questioned who or what this voice is? What's behind it? This voice is comprised of beliefs, memories, and judgments. When you were young, it came from those who perceived as an authority. This is your early programming. The voice inside your head is the me that needs to be in control of your life. It's the me mind, myself, the ego part of the mind. It's the part that says, look at me, or This is my car, or This is important to me, or are you listening to me? This me refers to your identity, the image you have created about yourself. It's how you describe yourself in words, the ideas, images, and thoughts you hold about yourself. It's the constantly changing story of your life. This me is the main character in your life. It's a role that you play in life. But here's the thing. You are not the character you are playing. You are the actor playing the role, but you have forgotten who you are. You have become so immersed in this me character. You forgotten the truth.

When you become so absorbed in the play, your part and the parts of others, it's no longer a play. It's your reality. You have created your own reality. You see, hear, feel, taste, and sins according to me, the character, not the you that knows and is aware. The real you is the one who is listening to your thoughts. The real you is the one who knows you are thinking, listening to the thoughts moving through. You are the one aware. You are walking, talking, listening. The great mystic Roman Maharshi was the one who made Speaker 2 (02:58):
Popular the question, who am I as a spiritual path? But he suggests you discover who you are. Not. Begin by understanding that you are not what you perceive because you are that which is perceiving. For example, you are not your body because you perceive your body. You are not your thoughts because you are the one that is hearing your thoughts. At some point, you recognize that the real eye that you are is nothing you can perceive. Spend some time with this question before. Moving on to the next question in the next section, what is real? By the way, when you ask the question, who am I? The mind will soon go quiet because the mind cannot answer the question.
