"Who Am I ?" Questions

[Guest guest]

In what manner does one question "Who am I?" ? Do you scan the

physical "location" of the body for the source of the ego? Is it

more of a "feeling" thing ? Is it kind of like waiting for a thought

to appear and trying to catch the source of the thought? Do you take

WHATEVER arises moment-to-moment, and try to pin-point

the "internal" source of the arising? Does the searching seem to

change "location" or quality over time as success unfolds?

 

Are you able to do this while engaged in daily activities? It seems

that when I do this, I have to stop external activity, and I tend to

lose track of what I was doing.

 

Is the same method used for formal sitting meditation?

 

You don't need to answer ALL these questions. Just give me a hint if

I'm on the right track.

 

Thanks for any responses.

Ask "Who am I?" instead of asking about hundred other things. What

one has to do is simple - to abide as the Self. This is the ultimate

truth. This is one's eternal, natural, inherent state.

Let us search for the root of the ego. Where from does this pseudo-

I arise?

letting the eternal Self shine.

realizes the Self.

necessary for liberation.

> That there is only one Self and nothing but the Self.

> Know that and everything else is known. This cannot be repeated

too often.....

path, but the path once started, mental knowledge must than become

actual experience.

Sorry..I'm checking out the "Files" section. It seems to answer most

of my questions. Sorry for the trouble.
