Who Am I?

Autumn equinox today; I am feeling it. Wonderful morning sitting exercise/meditation with Roger Gabriel today. Letting go, cleansing. How auspicious this first day of Autumn!

Today I ask “Who Am I”? Am I past thoughts and associations? Am I my concerns for the future?

Eckhart Tolle says, “Remember you are the sky. The clouds are what happens, what comes and goes.”

Spend time being aware in the now, in the moment.

“Who am I? I listen to the resonance of the question. And I begin to hear the resonance of the response, which I perceive through a sensation of life, of a current of life. It shows me that at this moment my essence is touched. My work is not imaginary, not only on the surface. It has penetrated more deeply. I belong to this life whose echo I feel, and wish only to attune myself to it. I listen in myself to the resonance of “I am .” It must become more important than everything else. This is my soul itself that is here.”

~ Jeanne de Salzmann, “The Reality of Being: The Fourth Way of Gurdjieff.”
