'I am"

Whenever you use the term 'I am' you are affirming that the 'I' is something.

If the 'I' represents our personality/persona/reality then when we use the 'I am' statement we are affirming a certain level of reality.

For example the statement 'I am hungry' may find you staring vacantly in the fridge.

BUT; If you sit with this thought statement for a while you may find that you are not hungry- you may find that you are bored and/or emotional in some way.

Then what happens?

Nothing :))

Can we allow nothing to happen?

Or . . . . .

Do we have to keep fixing what we think is the problem?

There is no problem - There is only the mind and what it is doing/thinking and your responses/reactions to these processes.

That's it!

If you do a Yoga practise everyday. You will definitely wake up and feel more. This of course is a problem for some of us.

BUT.

If you don't want to feel you should maybe sit in a tub of iced water for three or four days. This will wake you numb, but then you may find that you are still not happy. So you may buy a bottle of wine and eat a big meal. This may satisfy you for some time but eventually the feeling that you were originally trying to escape from will come back again, like a ghost to haunt you.

Once you accept that there are no such things as ghosts you may come to your senses.

There is only what happens in your mind and how you deal with it.

Once you realise that it is all relative to nothing you may not take it too seriously and laugh a bit more.
