Newbie..who am I?

[Guest guest]

Has this question really been asked? Are we the mind, the body, the

senses, or our thoughts..when I first began my own journey of

awakening I would travel to India and meet with many teachers. Most

of them would have some sort of practice they would assigned you,

some of them would touch you to awaken your kundalini. I feel a great

respect for all my teachers and I have not a single regret having

taken this journey. But it was one teacher that had long left his

body that answered the question "Who am I" his name is Ramana

Maharshi. This wise sage clearly showed me that nothing was needed to

see who you really are except to be still and stop, it's was and is

so simple and yet so very hard for all of us as the mind has been so

busy for millions of years working hard at convincing us that

something else is needed. The mind first movement is the thought "I

am" from this everything else arises and I mean everything. The bible

comes as close as it can to the real truth when it says " I am that I

am" . All the spiritual practices that I had done, all efforts to see

God to see who I am , to find enlightment when I awoke I could only

then see that they took me away from the truth as I have always been

the TRUTH and you can never obtain something that you already are.

For me this was and is freedom it has always been here and always

will be. there is nothing to do, no one to be for "You are That"

I am happy to be a new member of this board as it's a wonderful

reminder

for me of who I truly am and the incredible nature of the mind..

Blessings always in the now
