Hi S*****
Sweet words, as usual :-)
Sometimes, when I find I’ve lost myself, or my perception of myself, or my illusion of myself, I notice it’s because I’ve been concentrating on something else – like writing email, or singing ;-) Have I lost myself then?
Other times, I find my awareness of self takes a back seat to my personal needs at the time – like my desire for food, or sleep. At those times it’s as if * I * don’t exist, but my desires do. Perhaps I lose myself at that stage…
It’s as if my awareness of myself, to the exclusion of all other events or experiences, happens only when I have nothing else to focus on.
Perhaps out of boredom?
It leaves me wondering if the ‘Me’ part of ‘Myself’ is the same as the ‘me’ part of ‘myself’, or if the whole concept of ‘losing and/or finding’ one’s self is simply a matter of semantics..
I know some people call it ‘overview’ – I do too – but I can’t help wondering who or what it is within us that observes and takes notice of all these losses and findings of Self.
Could it be our ‘Over’ or ‘Higher’ self doing all the noticing? And, if so, why is that not our actual Self? And, if it IS our actual Self, then we haven’t ‘lost’ our ‘True’ self at all, but merely put our attention elsewhere for a short time…
I know for sure the road to recovery from pain can be a long one. Particularly if we take the long road…
Hugs!!!
Love
