Who am I?

Who are you?  You are not your body. You are not your job, or your home, or your car.
You are not the roles you play: father, mother, son, daughter, boss, employee, etc.
If not these things, then who are you?
Are you your thoughts? Your personality?

"Who am I?" is the world's most difficult question. Yet, if you ask it, and listen for a response, you will learn.

Are you a spark of the divine? An expression of God? If these are your answers, then what do these statements mean? Contemplate them. Meditate on them.

If you speculate that you are not the identities listed above, then you can become a non-judgmental observer of your thoughts and behaviors. This perspective will offer you wisdom and compassion toward self and others. It will make it easier to implement changes since you have withdrawn your ego investment in these identities. Asking who you are will mostly tell you who you are not.

Keep asking.
