Remembering Self

 Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

Aristotle

Ahhh...this ego so easily pulls us back in if we are not mindful of this tendency.  I slipped since the move and found myself consumed by ego's need to collect grievances, prefer something other than what is, resisting reality etc. As ego swelled up the way it does...sometimes with pride, other times with shame....always with fear...I found myself less and less mindful of what is really important. My energy got sucked right down into this narrow little focus of attention: a change in physical environment, a smaller space than what I am used to, a tired body that did more activity than a mind said it should have, a subsequent flu bug, a reactivation of an old ego trigger related to health seeking, getting caught up in holiday traditions that always confuses me etc  and this grievance collection thing just took over. Sigh! I almost forgot who I was.

Now, I am remembering...I am remembering again...who I am. Thank God! Where the body and mind is in physical space is inconsequential to where the Self always is. Sat Chit Ananda...is not bound by geography.

All is well!
