There has been much loss in my life, but I am finding my self under it all. Lovely and so true. Unless we suffer, we don't really surrender or...

Great posts Alicia. I agree with Andy that your input is very valued. In traditional Vedanta the witness even has a name: Sakshi. Ultimately, when we want to live from the perspective of the true self, then the only way to do it is to be the witness. Alicia wrote: What I've realised is nothing like ...

Nice analogy, Turiya! The metaphorical Jesus.

I don't know much about Jesus--but I expect he was self-realized. He knew he was awareness and spoke from that perspective.

Exactly, Joe! And that awareness is YOU. You are pure being/awareness (God) plus the name and form of awareness appearing as Joe.

Welcome Christa! Hope you enjoy the forum.

Welcome Bronto. Glad you decided to unlurk

Welcome, Tommy! Looking forward to your contributions.

In Vedanta the mind is described as made up of several components like intellect and 'mind' (which interprets sense information) and memory, together which give rise to an ego-type construct (I sense).
