Trails To Higher Inner, then Outer, 'Self' Understanding
I: Doorway to the Master Trail
Using English, most all are aware of I, me, Me, My, and Mine
My and Mine being possessive, each own ‘stuff’ outside Self.
For this journey, we want to stay strictly personal, within the Self.
So, the doorway question
Leading to greater Understandings lies in…
The difference between I, me, and Me.
To this Cheshire question...
Apply yourself searching out ‘your’ own answer
One that ’your heart, mind, and soul together’ find true.
True to you
Your own being.
Again, In this, look for, search for, and find
Your own serving Gate providing answer
With the key to the Gate, increased 'Self' Understanding.
Write these three questions down...
Who am I?
Who am me?
Who am, or are Me?
Speak them out loud, feel the separation?
Even possibly a disconnect between them.
Think on this
The separation, distance...
OK, interesting, “I” resonates
However, we are moving deeper than this.
So, write after speaking
Addressing Self…
Explain the meaning of each of these three questions...
Who am I?
Who am me?
Who am, or are Me?
Word by word writing them down
Repeating each question within 3 separate columns…
Columns with each a labelled heading… Space, Place, and Time.
Write your answer to each question
In the appropriate column.
You will then have 9 answers.
Who am I in this Space?
Who am me in this Space?
Who am, or are Me in this Space?
Who am I in this Place?
Who am me in this Place?
Who am, or are Me in this Place?
Who am I in this Time?
Who am me in this Time?
Who am, or are Me in this Time?
Read and study what you have written about your Self
(Hint: Where is your true Self in all this?)
When, as understanding answers come
Following your learnings, then apply wisdom.
Taking a step up...
Learning to understand fully this phrase...
Who am ’I’ truly in Space, Place, and Time?
This One more than me, or Me.
Let your own curiosity take you on from there
With How, What, Where, and When
Am ’I’ truly in Space, Place, and Time?
Then address... Why?
Follow that trail
It will lead finally to another Gate.
Spoiler: Secret key learned to opening that gate
Is a four letter word
One that is also it’s own Gate.
I will not spoil it for you.
I leave that for you to find
It will bring deep tears to your eyes and senses
Answered... you will never be the same.
