Watch This Video — Who Am Me?

After all these years, after all the stuff we’ve read, the videos we watched, the teach­ings we have attended, we still don’t know who we are.

This video makes our actual iden­tity clear, but with one pro­viso and I’m going to make this pro­viso very clear on this post. I’ve taken the next sec­tion of this post from my new book, The Lib­er­a­tion Way, which is still in being edited, but I thought this sec­tion was so impor­tant that I wanted it included with this post.

We keep on search­ing for me.
The search is fueled by the belief that there is a me that I can some­how find.

But who is search­ing?
Is that not me?

The seeker searches for him­self.
He becomes frus­trated when every self he stum­bles on he rejects as not being the “real” me.

After 30 years of this we still haven’t arrived.
When do we tire of all this activity?

Who am I?

I’m guess­ing that you still don’t know.

Let’s take one more look at this belief that fuels the search.
This is our last exam­i­na­tion of this strange energy.

We believe that we are not the seeker … that we are some­one else and it is this some­one else we hope to find one day through our med­i­ta­tions, watch­ing of videos, or of read­ing books like this one.

Why, I ask you, do we reject the seeker?
Why can’t we just be that person?

Is it because we don’t want to be a seeker?
Does that strike you as, per­haps, just a lit­tle pathetic?

As I’ve said a thou­sand times, we are self-rejecting.
We per­sis­tently mir­ror our own pri­mal invalidation.

We have taken the place of our well intended par­ents.
In a very well intended way we con­tinue the process of self-rejection and we do that by reject­ing the seeker and, all the time, seek­ing some­one else.

When we were inval­i­dated by our well intended par­ents, we believed that they were reject­ing a “thing” an “entity”, a noun.
We were that “thing”, “entity”, noun.

So we came to believe that the “me” is a “thing”, an “entity”.
And because this “thing” was rejected, we sought to become some­thing else.

And what was this some­thing else we sought to become?
It was a pro­jec­tion … the pro­jec­tion that we prob­a­bly absorbed by what we thought our par­ents wanted us to be.

We have con­tin­ued this end­less jour­ney of becom­ing some­one we are not the whole of our lives.

So who am I?

Is the I a “thing”, an “entity”, a noun?

Is it the under­ly­ing empti­ness that many of the sages of the past seemed to imply … that which dis­pas­sion­ately observes and notices … the mys­te­ri­ous wit­ness on which the whole flow of exis­tence drifts?

I say we are not a “thing”, an “entity”, or a noun.

This means that if you con­tinue to strug­gle to find out who you are, if you insist on con­tin­u­ing being the role of the seeker then that is who you shall be!

Do you under­stand? You are what you are and you have some power to under­stand this process and you have some power to effect how you are in this world. The oper­a­tive word in that sen­tence is “some”. You can see and understand.
