I agree that the concept of "I AM" cannot be "known" in the traditional use of the word known or know. I also believe that the "I am" feeling or experience can be "known" in a way of knowing that doesn't need words or thoughts or concepts...I am simply aware that I am.

I don't think I need to find it the "I am" or become the "I am"...I am already it...

How can you lose your true self when you don't know what it is?

I don't lose it...It's more like a forgetting or a focusing on tasks, thoughts and forms...I "know" (again words fail here) what it is...it's me...I AM.

What you present to the world is the real you. An anthentic human being.

Hmmm....again words fail this idea...I suppose the real total me...ego and all is what I present to the world, so I will go with you that on that.

Now the perception you hold of yourself may not be accurate but you are being the only you that you know. The ego could well be in your perceptions.

Sure, ok my sense of self is locked into the NOW and even though I am not always conscious of my whole self (I.E. there are still unconscious bits laying in the dark recesses of my past...)...I am being the "only me that I know"...who of course is always subject to change and growth. The ego might be in my perceptions...like who I perceive myself to be....or the me I think I am.

Not very well. Speak your truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
There seems to be loss of comprehension. Just a list of points without connection, and with some contradiction, not really contributing to a discussion.

Speaking my truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth would just be silence. Sorry about the contradictions...words fail...and I do was well.

I am still attempting comprehension and I want to keep talking...this is my best.

I did a blog post about my belief system if you want to check it out...I think it comes close to what I truly believe...but its kinda old, I might need to update it.

I am not using or enjoying what you have to say. I am using the real you, yoops, not some idea or perception of who you are but the real you in all these posts. I am using you to to see me.

Glad to be your mirror

YEP.

w00t! I thought you were going to say it would take more to make you angry...I gave you something that you asked me for...I did that to promote your reputation as a ♥♥♥♥♥...have fun with that <wink>


Kind Regards,
