IN-PERSON: Sun, Sept 13: "You Are Not What You Think You Are"
Details
Who is it that plays the role of a student, a parent, a sister or brother, a doctor, lawyer or candlestick-maker?
Who is it that feels compelled to play the role of (me)?
When did (me) begin, when will (me) end?
Where does it go each night, return from each morning?
The baby was born on so and so date.
But (me) never was born -so how could it die?
We intuitively know or apperceive that you are.
No one has any real doubts about this fundamental fact of their consciousness, beingness, knowingness, presence or "I-Am-ness."
Notice the chronic tendency to identify with "this" or "that" as me—"me" in the form of "my mind," "my body," my being a "man" or a "woman," my being "good" or "bad," my being a follower of this religion or that, this political party or that.
Our meetings are an examination of our thinking and feelings for the day's topic, and to question.
