Simply Be

Maybe life is about creating the self you want to find, but don’t we run the risk of creating more of an ego self? If we are creating something within ourselves, are we not merely feeding the ego? I’ve been dabbling with how to take my mind out of the picture entirely. Like becoming aware of awareness. It’s difficult to explain, but there are moments where I get grounded in presence and my mind leaves me. This is what I mean by becoming aware of awareness. What if the puzzle pieces you refer to are as simple as that which you feel, hear, see, and smell? If you put those together, can you feel whole in any given moment? Perhaps the pieces that don’t fit are our thoughts that weigh us down. I’m constantly reminding myself that thoughts are not real. The self I aim to create then is to simply be in any given moment and to therefore have peace of mind.
