Re: what part of me am I the "author" of? musings + questions
This is only my personal (and current) reflection on this topic.
I have recently come to believe that everything that can be described, examined, perceived, viewed, etc., is part of the illusion, the maya. I had not thought about it much, but a couple of posts here made me think about it, and I believe it's correct. These things are all just another part of the dream.
The "true self" is... I don't know, but I lean toward the idea that it is our actual consciousness. People perceive this as "spirit" and that may well be the case, but in any event, I believe that our consciousness is the "true self".
I've always been aware that I was not this body, and that I was not this mind. At times, I have been extremely overwhelmed by the body and ego, yes, but even as a child I knew, somehow, that this was not the true self. The true self, the Subtle Self, is something quite beyond any vehicle we might put on or use in the dream.
I don't know if that makes any sense. I've ONLY just come to actually see it for myself, so I'm not sure if I'm articulating it so that anyone but me can understand.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
