The real you

I AM, but I THINK I am not. This is the challenge of humanity. Identification with thought, idea, imagination and emotion all distract from the simplicity of I AM. You can feel I AM in the silence within your consciousness as the eternal presence of your being. It is the mind that chooses to exist in time and space, but you are eternal consciousness.

FEEL the being within you, do not think about it. Let your attention flow inwardly and allow the silence to reveal a presence rooted in peace and oneness. You do not have to think to find it, in fact if you do think you will not find it.

Just FEEL and notice how the mind still tries to locate it. Subtle is the minds influence on your attention. The mystery is symbolized in these words, but it exists in detachment from all thought and your identification with it.

Following the breath centers your attention and places you in alignment with your awareness. One simple thought can divert your attention enough to distract you from the presence of I AM. It is like H2O or HO2, you might think both could represent water, but only the correct equation does. A separation occurs or a shift in attention begins as your root your attention within the breath. It is natural and almost automatic. In one moment you were aware of thoughts and identifying with them and in the next you are simply aware of you. This is the unpolluted you and the real you.
