The Stick Figure - Me

We each have a chalk board inside our minds on which we draw a stick figure and call it “me”. We start to believe that we are that stick figure and lose all awareness of our actual self which we could easily find in the here and now.

Interesting...you believe in the ability to "see" ourselves and in the ability to "lose" ourselves. When does it all become clear? Do you see it clearly?

Hello Enreal,

What a great name you chose.

Clarity is a continuum. We all see better and better the more effort we make.

Do you have an eraser handy?

Eraser?

So that you can erase your imaginary picture?

nice post but what is 'me' and where is it's essence...where does soul hides:)?

Anima,

What nice questions.

"Me" is a mental image of the real being (Soul?) that can experience itself Now, while reading this post. Identity (an image) almost constantly displaces awareness of actual exsistance in the moment. Hence we are dreaming.

The Soul does not hide. We ignore it, as it sits in our chair, while we look at pictures we have drawn of how we think that it probably looks.

Poor Soul. :(
