To Know Yourself.

To Know yourself as the Being underneath the thinker, the stillness underneath the mental noise, the love and joy beneath the pain, is freedom, salvation, enlightenment.
Eckhart Tolle

So to answer the first soul question posed by Deepak Chopra and others, "Who am I?" ...I use the above quote from Eckhart Tolle.  From that I answer, using the limitations of words and mental concepts:  We are what is underneath the thinking, the mental noise, the pain. We are Being.  We are stillness. We are Love and joy. 

I believe, however, that who we are  is not meant to be understood with words.  It is meant to be understood by feeling and experiencing it.  How do we do that?  We stop doing or at the very least slow down; we go inward in and we embrace the Being within us all....at least for a few minutes a day.

We all can do that, can't we? Wouldn't the rewards be worth it?   Imagine experiencing freedom, salvation and enlightenment.

All is well in my world.
