The answer – There is no Gary! Ramesh: Gary, the ego, doesn't exist. If Gary doesn't exist then what exists? Only the Source. Source is all there is. [unquote] Ask yourself Who is doing, thinking, feeling, reacting, complaining, questioning, etc. as often as you can and a time will surely come when you suddenly know that you are not a person/body/mind/ego and never was, and that the person, etc. that you took yourself for does not now or ever did exist - except as an image/concept in your own mind. When you stop believing in the personal object you have believed yourself to be since very early childhood, it will vanish and that which you are will remain. Things will be much better for you after that blessed remembrance. good luck, jim > > michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
