Yes, I understand. In other words, no actual “self” can be found. When you say “I” am this or that, “I” who?
A: well me, I am.

Again, “I” what or who?

Christ gave us the answer.
I Am That, I am.

Before him was the Hindus who said
Tat Tvam Asi
which means
Thou Art That

I am that what?
Thou art that what?

A: Awareness of all that is.
Christ / Krishna consciousness
Buddhists call it enlightenment or Buddha nature.

We are “god” in drag basically. Since no actual “me” can be found because everything I might identify with as me changes constantly (mind and body) and only 1 things is never changing and permanently the same (awareness)
I am that I am.
You are too

Well, Christ himself said in the Bible, "I am that I am," the "I" you look for simply depends on the perspective, your "I" is the definition you use to address yourself. But in another perspective, the "I" is your soul and purpose in this world. Your meaning, and impact on others. (This is sounding like my conversation with someone else about Egyptian Execration beliefs and Shadows)

Yes. I am deeply invested in Christs non dual message, the real message like from the Book of Thomas. Add to that Advita Vedanta practices and study , several years of Buddhist meditation and self inquiry practices.

In Advita Vedanta All is The Self, in Buddhist practices there is No Self.
I have an amazing and beautiful tapestry of the ancients sown together with study of the Bhagavad Gita, the scores of Buddhist doctrines and sutras and lots of meditation.

As St Francis of Assisi said
“What you are looking for is what’s looking.”

Eckhart noted:
“The eye you see god with is the same eye god sees you with.”

A few years ago I took interest in the Enerald Tablets of Thoth. Very non dual.
It’s sad to me that greed, fear, hatred and delusion of the abrahamic religions has been such a plague of locusts on the world with genocide after genocide in the name of their respective gods.
The way i see it, all is The Self and The Self is consciousness evolving so all of that is part of the evolutionary process of consciousness.

This is a wonderful informative video on my view of the world.

Enjoy, or don’t. Either way. I bless you with lots of love, health, prosperity, laughter and joy.
What a trip it all is being in human form as spirit having this human experience.
5000 years prior to the Christ was Krishna who said
Tat Tvam Asi
Thou art That
I and the father are 1. Separation is delusion.
There is no dividing line between the entire cosmos and “me.” It’s all within me but who am I?
I Am That I Am. I am God. You are god. All is god and god is consciousness experiencing itself through “us.”

1 love…I Am

The "I" that we seek is simply nonexistent. There is no "I", there is only "us"

We are one as God created us in his image
