how do I define myself without what I am and my possessions?
You are not the shirt you put on, you are not your pants, socks, underwear… There are many reasons that you dress yourself in the mourning. Perhaps you notice that its cold outside so you put on a coat. The coat serves a purpose but you are not the coat, you are not the cold either.
Language is tricky. when we speak of experiences we differentiate experiences using words like, me, mine, our, I…. We forget that words are symbols that point towards the experiences. I see a tree, the word tree is not a tree. What am I look at now, the word tree or tree in the window? What is the difference? The word I is not ‘I’
If there is no “I” in this universe, what can i call my own,what do I hold to be grateful of?
Life, you are grateful of life… As it is! the darkness and the light.
