My name is Elvira Caldwell; age 32 ; divorced ; one child (boy) ; I live in Switzerland in a small town called Brüttisellen. My knowledge of Nisargadatta is rather limitted, so I am having to ask a few questions more then who I am, if I didn't answer that one already. )) As a new member of this group, I'm wondering if everyone uses the same definitions of I am, awareness and consciousness as Nisargadatta uses. As Anita Firely said in one of her talks years ago, " During the break, looking into each others' eyes, I realized that the same consciousness that I was looking at was looking at me. " That consciousness is to me the " I am " consciousness that Nisargadatta talks about, be it now aware of it or not. Agreed? Elvira Want to be your own boss? Learn how on Small Business.

If you wish to know the truth, then hold to no opinions for or against anything. To set up what you like against what you dislike is the disease of the mind.
