excellent! I have always wondered who is the one that "belives" the thoughts. Many teach that we are not our thoughts...but I have often questioned who is the one that does believe the thoughts. It can't be awareness that believs thoughts right? Becuase awareness is peaceful and content...not entangled in thoughts.I have never heard someone explain the truth in this way.
"The 'I' thought takes credit for being you. It's a thought, but it pretends to have awareness. The 'I' keeps you from experiencing all the things the 'I' wants!"
Your material on the ego on this short clip is spot on and could help so many on this planet! So much needless suffering we put ourselves through simply because we fail to see and embrace our true nature. Thankfully with the internet the message is slowly getting out there!
The ego is tricky, and it may have the thought that it is Awareness and living in the Now. What is it that is aware of the ego thinking it is awareness and living in the Now? That's who you really are. You are the awareness of the ego thinking it is awareness. Actually living in the Now is an experience, not a thought about living in the Now or a thought about anything else. Love...Gina Lake
@Nirmalanow My experience is that ego ( the thinking that thinks it is you) needs to own every aspect of your identity. So, when one truly experiences awareness, ego immediately swoops in to own the experience and the true person is displaced. Ego tries to repeat the experience of awareness and it is not the same. Few people are able to distinguish the difference between their true self and ego because it is ego that is distinguishing between the two. Looking through the eyes of ego = ego.
My experience is that Awareness is always here and never displaced by the ego. Maybe what you are calling Awareness is a spiritual experience that came and went, but Awareness is not an experience that comes and goes. Awareness is what is aware of the ego and everything that comes and goes. It is not my experience that distinguishing between ego and Awareness is difficult. Everyone is able to feel the difference between the two. Love...Gina Lake
Gina/Theo's teachings about our true nature is some of the clearest available anywhere. No fancy non-duality jargon; just simple explanations of how the mind/ego works and how to see that you are not who you think you are! Just beautiful. You can read my review of two of Gina Lake's books, "Anatomy of Desire" and "Embracing the Now" on my website.
