Who are you? Know yourself

Absolutely :)

Cool Thread! 5*!

Here are my top five. I spend 5-10 minutes on each one, at least once a day!

Deep and profound PEACE that makes all conflict seem petty and uninteresting.
Pure, Unconditional LOVE to release and heal all fear.
Overwhelming JOY to flood the hearts of all people.
ABUNDANCE for all; to feed all the hungry and fulfill every need.
A complete and total RELEASE and healing of old hurts and all lower energy patterns.

Awesome . Thanks for quantifying it as it matters most what we do with them even more than having them.

No I didn't. To me I've found they have served their purpose and are are no longer needed. I imagine if you were honest with yourself you'd realize the same.

Foolishness
Humiliation
Alienation
Hopelessness
Nothingness

Nice words but some of them truly aren't the right ones huh? You know which ones I'm talking about.
They all hold a deeper truth, especially when taken together. These words lead to better words that define you. I'd say good start but keep searching.

defining life is the beginning of misery.

It can be if done from the ego instead of the heart!

from the heart?


Stillness
Tension
Lucidity
transience
perfect imperfection
eternity

Ok but some of them are still of the mind are they not?Example: Tension- There is no tension in the heart.

try being me and then tell me that x

I am you just as you are me! We are all ONE. It is only our egos which see separation.

Then you should know what i mean by the tension.

Yes when viewed from the ego but not the heart for it only knows love.

authentic
compassionate
peaceful
loving
content

Very nice and well done I might add. Sounds like you truly know yourself and even more importantly; are happy with this knowledge.

it's not a negative tension.

Great but it is still tension none the less, is it not?

I am that I am

I am You

Quite right!

Yes you're, just as I am you for we all are truly ONE and it is only the ego that sees separation.

There is no higher self and there is no lower self. There is only the self. To believe in a higher self, creates an illusion that you are not already the true self. Duality is an illusion, existence is like a song, whether "good" or "bad". True reality, means absolutely nothing. That's why the sign for Zen is a big empty circle.

ok, noe tell us how you really feel!

This doesn't mean that I won't cry in pain if I get hurt, Doesn't mean I don't have regular emotions, those are just part of existence. First thing in this world a lot of us did was cry. It's okay. All these have nothing to do with realization of the self. Neither does spirituality or anything else.

However, I understand myself as part of the whole, hence I cannot comprehend the whole, although I have become a point in existence where the whole becomes aware of itself.

Nicely said and I mostly agree. Thank you for your perspective.
