Deep dives
Embracing Pure Being and Self-Awareness
Focusing on the simple 'I am' and establishing a constant connection with oneself leads to self-awareness where blessings flow. By separating the unchanging 'I am' from experiences and shedding self-identifications, one can discern the real self. Embracing pure being and watching oneself without attachment to 'this or that' uncovers the true self beyond transient identifications.
The Power of 'I Am' and Finding Peace
The essence of 'I am' as the ocean of consciousness, transcending thoughts and entities, brings about new knowledge effortlessly when held onto. In self-realization, the question 'Who am I?' dissolves all but the certainty of 'I am'. By returning to the pure state of 'I am' before contamination of identities, one discovers that peace and happiness are innate, independent of external pursuits.
