Losing the Self

It's been 6 days since I've written anything. I realized while sitting in my car at the park this morning that this blog is really about the strengthening of the ego, the individual self. It's about Robert Pherigo. So I've decided to change what this blog is for, from now on it's going to be about losing myself. As I was sitting in the car this morning watching the cars whiz by on a nearby highway I thought how I would never know any of these people. So then I started wondering why we all attach so fervently to our identities. Everybody's running around thinking me me me! Then I started to ask myself, 'Who would I be without my story (thank you Byron Katie!)? Who would I be without Robert Pherigo? Who would I be without me?' For me (how can one get away from personal language?) this is such a freeing question, I can feel my sense of self expanding to include all that I can see. (How can 'I' write about this without using the words I, me, self?) The answer that comes to me as to who I am without me is Pure Awareness. I am Pure Awareness. So this Blog will now be about losing my Robert Pherigo self and exploring what it is to be Pure Awareness. 'I' will still move, meditate, and listen but the focus will be Losing The Self.

Desmond - What's the point of being afraid?

Exactly. Only the 'individual' self can be afraid. From last night's episode of Lost.
