Many of us involved in "spiritual practice" take the view that there is an ego-based-self and a higher self. And that these two are fighting each other somehow. Isn't this just silly? For if that were true, there would have to be a third self that is judging the battle and would declare a winner. So now we are up to three selves. Oh my!
The question that meditation poses if we sit in silence for even a little while is: "Who am I?" ... sometimes we are happy, or sad, or mad, or angry, or pleased, or fulfilled, or bored, or in pain. Are you these experiences? Everyone notices that all experiences just come and go despite our efforts to control them (the big insight that almost no one is willing to face).
What if you were NOT! What if life is just unfolding all by itself without a 'you'. Could it be that the reason you have not been able to find happiness and truth is that there is no one to find them?
