We are an Essence
Separation is the understanding that we are the awareness
the essence and that the ego or the other things that appear in that awareness
are something that are not of the essence and are not us. The whole key to that
of separation is this formula: These thoughts are not me, this logic is not
mine, these emotions are not mine either. But we need the consciousness
experience that we are not the ego, nor the thoughts, nor the body nor the
personality.
Non-Identification
Separation is also non-identification. Meditation on the ego
is not that superficial thing of analysying the details of what happened, and
how it could have been avoided etc, but being the consciousness and questioning
deeply the existence of that “I’ that is trying and we have let it take the place
of the consciousness.
How do we Know we are an Essence?
How do we understand that we are the awareness the essence?
The answer is by meditating deeply on these formulas or facts and inquiries.
The questioning of ourselves is really very deep but the thing is, we have to
get or arrive at our own answer to this question. It helps us immensely and it
is fundamental to our knowledge and to our who we are and what we are doing
here.
When we are bothered by an ego the first thing to ask
ourselves is: “What ‘I’?”. Because the ‘I’ of that ego does not exist. The
consciousness is not an “I”.
Conclusion
The hypnotic grip of the ego is among other things the
belief that we are that ego. We feel one with that ego. Separation is
impossible when we think that the ego is one with us or that we are the ego.
Separation is so fundamental in our psychological well-being, in transforming
impressions and in the death of the ego.
