Forza21 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) Recently i visited my "old place" i used to live most of my life, but i acted like i was still living there. Like i was still 20 years old ( i'm 30 now), and like i had the same thoughts which created "story of me", same problems, friends, etc. While doing this, i forgot about my "current life situation" to the point of really freaking out, that all what happened "later" was just a "trip/dream/memory" and it never happened. And it's pretty interesting, because the sense of "me" or "I" or "i am" is THE SAME no matter of your AGE/STORY/ LIFE SITUATION! That sense of "i'm" is ageless! It's timeless! All you experience is literally 6 things: visual, sound, sensation, taste, smell, and thought. Nothing more. And it's THE SAME "knowing" or "substance" as you were 10/15/20 years old. And it will be the same all your life. To get sense of that, just imagine that you are still teenager, still going to school etc, experience all those thoughts you used to have, and see, that it's stil the exact same "i am" . Only movie/story/content of thoughts changes. But awarenes/knowing/sense of "i'm" is still the same.

You really realize it then, if you didn't already. 😄 Same ole' awareness awaring the "little me" at any age. Quote Mention You're a thought. Do you think a thought is going to occupy 'no thought'. The 'changeless' can be realized only when the ever-changing thought-flow stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
