So how do I go about finding this true self? It is possible you could have a moment of direct insight into your true self where everything clicks into place and you no longer worry. Some people just wake up one day and are free from suffering. Sounds pretty nice, yes? For others it takes years or even lifetimes of work. To help ease your mind, where you find yourself NOW is EXACTLY where you are supposed to be. It is impossible for it to be otherwise. If you are reading these words, you are meant to be reading them.
YOU are not the character. YOU merely are. One way to arrive at this understanding is via negation. To determine who I am, I will first negate all I am not. Anything that can be conceived or perceived can simply NOT be you. Just as the tip of the finger cannot touch itself or the camera cannot see itself. YOU cannot experience who you really are as something you are not. It is logically impossible. If you can describe something with words it cannot be you. Just as words cannot fully capture the feeling of love, or the majesty of a beautiful sunset, or the excitement one feels for future possibilities. Words are limiting. YOU are limitless. Describing your true nature with words would be like trying to paint a beautiful and accurate landscape with just 8 crayons. It would be a poor representation of reality, yes? Now consider “you” only have 5 senses. Do you think 5 senses could capture your true essence? Not a chance…
