Who Are You? by donyfrank: 7:59am On Sep 10, 2010 |
Sometimes in life, you would have made these pronouncements; "My soul, My mind, My spirit and even My body". Have u wondered why u made this statements either consciously or unconsciously. Can u see Spirit, Mind, Soul? Even though if u can say, i can see the body. All these things u claim possession of, how do u get them? How do u acquired them? Don't u know that all these things are infinite in nature. It is the only the owner or maker who have the sole right and authourity to say all these. "There is God". Come on, think are liberate urself. WHO ARE YOU? |

Who am i? I am the AWARENESS that perceives all that is before me. Simply just awareness. The rest(mind, soul, body) are just tools to help facilitate my experience of this reality. That is all. I am awareness. |

YES! But what are those things b4 u? |
Re: Who Are You? by Jenwitemi(m): 1:36pm On Sep 10, 2010 |

Do u know what u are sayn? There is incongruity. Awareness by its nature is not physical. Does it? |
Re: Who Are You? by Jenwitemi(m): 2:15pm On Sep 10, 2010 |
Where did you see incongruity in my statement? Can you show me where i stated that the nature of awareness is physical? If you do not understand my post, simply ask me to explain whichever part you do not get. donyfrank: |
Re: Who Are You? by donyfrank: 2:25pm On Sep 10, 2010 |
Well, where i see incongruity is awarness as i know is not physical and have nothn 2 b aware of other than itself. |
Re: Who Are You? by Jenwitemi(m): 2:36pm On Sep 10, 2010 |
Awareness does not have to be physical itself to perceive the physical reality that surrounds it, and it is not and neither am i claiming that it is. For that task is the physical body responsible. Have you ever asked yourself who sees everything that you see in every moment of your existence. Who perceives what you preceive. Who is behind those two eyes of yours? That is the awareness itself. That is the real YOU. There is no incongruity here, unless you have not yet grasped the understanding. YOU are not your physical body. You are not your mind. YOU are not your thoughts. YOU are the awareness behind your physical body that creates your mind which in turn creates your thoughts. The awareness that is you, perceives your physical body, your mind and it's activities, and your thoughts. donyfrank: |

Re: Who Are You? by donyfrank: 3:13pm On Sep 10, 2010 |
U are right, i like it . But what i want know is; is awareness different and what it is aware of is different? |
Re: Who Are You? by Jenwitemi(m): 3:56pm On Sep 10, 2010 |
I don't quite get your question. What do you mean by "awareness being different"? Do you mean to ask how the awareness is different from the physical body and the mind? donyfrank: |
Re: Who Are You? by donyfrank: 5:52pm On Sep 10, 2010 |
Yes. And secondly what i understood that made u 2 b an awarness is physical thns, by being aware of them. Pls include d what are suppose to b d qualities and attributes of Awareness. |
