Who Are You?
Who Am I, is a question that drives us at our core because most of us “think” we know but we don’t really. The reason for this is that the knowing, is beyond the mind but that doesn’t stop the mind from trying to tell us.
To know yourself begins with letting go of the attachment to the mind and this is what Mindfulness is all about.
As a step of detaching form what you think you know, see if you can be open to the possibility of the following:
Imagine that everyone you met, was you with a different name and face, but always YOU.
You would be looking in a mirror and you would understand that they are someone that:
- Has known sadness and despair
- Reacts to injustices
- Wants love, peace of mind and joy
- Wants to avoid pain and suffering
- Wants their needs filled
- Wants to find purpose in life
Just like you (me)!
To see everyone as yourself helps you to drop the defences that the mind creates and has you be more open and connected with the world.
This of course doesn’t mean that you allow yourself to be walked all over and become a victim, you still need to be responsible for yourself. It simply means you embrace what is and thereby become closer to being one with life.
