Investigating Your Intimate Experience of Existing

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


You believe you are conscious of being a person, correct?

However, on the spiritual quest to uncover the truth of one’s essential nature, this is the foremost mistake a person makes, without even considering otherwise. To believe that you are a person is to misperceive how you actually experience life itself.

What does it mean to be alive?

Is it not an intimate sense of knowingness that pervades every sensation, that is an aware inner-essence that only you can know? You know that you exist—this you are certain of. You can confidently say, I Am. But, I Am… what?

Let’s investigate the entirely intimate experience of existing.

If you remove all preconceived ideas about the aware presence that you undoubtedly are, you will realize that you are not actually conscious of being a person—you are simply consciousness, being. Everything beyond that is a false assumption.

In other words, you are a presence of consciousness that experiences experiencing, through a person. As such, consciousness is revealed to not be contained inside the person at all, rather, the person is actually contained within consciousness.

Yes—the person you appear to be is indeed an appearance within consciousness, which is no different than anything else you perceive. You perceive your mind and body, just as you do everything else within the world.

You experience your apparent personhood, but you are not it.

So, Who Am I? Or more precisely, What is this I-Amness that I know myself to be?

I experience the wind, but I know I Am not it. How? Because I know what I Am and I know what I Am not. I experience the sun, but I know I Am not it. Similarly, I experience the human body’s breath, thoughts, emotions and physical pains—but I also know that I Am not any of it.
