Out of this world
The true self is always here and now yet out of
this world. Each morning when you awake, you ever so quickly
attach an identity to this self. Before you body regains full
awareness you have returned to that familiar identity
constructed over time.
The source of the true self is beyond mind.
Your thoughts create memories, thus a sense of identity in time
and space. Remove the thoughts, memories and anticipations and
you suddenly stand beyond time. When you alertly pay attention
to the mind, you are then able to free yourself of its hold.
What remains when free of the mind is the supreme reality.
Meditation serves to detach the true self from
the mind. When you are able to move beyond your memories you
are no longer a slave to your history. Clearly see that
everything that happens, is happening to you. You are
changeless while all that happens to you is temporal.
At the moment you arrived into the material
world, there was a discovery of this world. So whatever self
made that discovery is literally "out of this world". That "out
of this world" self has never left and is accessible here and
now. Be it!
