What am I outside of me?
What am I outside of me? For a moment step outside of who you consider yourself is and see what it brings to you. If you are not what you thought you are, then who are you? No answers are possible because every answer is from the understanding and knowledge we have gained as the person. What happens to the relationships, job, career, achievements ? Is there any true meaning? Isn't it really like acting in a movie? While it is OK to act in a movie, why do we have to carry the story with us all the time? If a movie has been really touching, the story keeps coming back to the actor, but the awareness that He is not acting any more is sufficient to bring the actor back to the reality. Likewise, bring your attention back to the reality that you are Not what you thought to be. Once you see this even for a moment, a shift happens in life. It surely does reduce your emotional suffering and gives you a sense of freedom - A freedom that you don't have to be anything, don't have to do anything - Isn't that the true moksha?
Will it change the world around you? It surely lightens up the way you perceive the world. I don't know anything more say....
Think for a little while as what you are if you drop the image about yourself and see what happens....
