The 'I' is the centre of consciousness. Without 'I' there is no sense of being separate from anything or anybody else. This 'I', otherwise known as 'Ahamkara' is the being and the end of 'us'. Without 'I' we do not exist.
If one can sit and meditate on this 'I' ness, this sense of ourselves as 'being' an 'I'-dentity, we must surely appreciate that it is a very powerful thing. In time we hopefully realise that every-time we say 'I' we are actualising our true self, our centre of creativity.
'We' are an 'I' is a very real statement, isn't it? How much weight and credence you give to this fact can make or break you, can't it? In other words unless you know you're true 'I'-dentity you cannot actually really use the word 'I' with any real sense of certainty, can you?
The statement 'I am' can be a very real statement of fact. The chicken and the egg phenomenon comes back to us (again). From such a statement as 'I am unhappy', we can ask is it the statement 'I am unhappy' or some predisposition to 'I am unhappy' that causes us to make this statement. In other words is the statement the 'cause' or the 'effect' of this condition of 'not happy'.
The only way to find out is to go deeper into meditation. Sit still and shut up!
Are you living or just going through the motions until you can find something better to do?
Sorting the 'real' from the 'unreal' is the ultimate challenge for all of us.
In other words find out who you are and then have the courage to be that person.
Yoga will do that for you. And then it will support you along the way.
