Who We Are Beyond Thought

 Who and what you are is consciousness and it is not yours.

Eckhart Tolle

Who are we when we are no longer in the grip of thinking?

If there is no past or future ( and there isn't)...if you are just perceiving in this moment and you don't remember your name or the stuff that happened in your past; if you don't have a future, say that you are going to die in five minutes...who is this being that is doing the perceiving?

What and who are you when you don't rememeber your past and you dont think about your future?

What is left?

Tolle reminds us that what is left is that... 

which is more truly you than any memory, than the historical person...what is it...that strange sense...that presence that doesn't have too much content...(somewhat paraphrased)

We need to just remember the beingness of "I am" and that all we "know" when we are not thinking is who we are. We are the "I am", without a need to attach anything behind that statement.

Be Still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10

The wisdom the world needs (comes from) being still and knowing who we are beyond thought, beyond time, and beyond body and personality. 

All is well!
