“Pointers are phrases that can be used to ‘go beyond’ the intellectual mind to experience reality as it is, completely unconditioned. The most famous pointer is the simple question, ‘who am I?’ The goal is not to form an intellectual/conceptual answer but to feel the answer. Using pointers is a form of self-inquiry…”
perplexity.aiPointers are powerful,
but without love, without inner space,
pointers are just chewing gum for the mind.Relaxing is so important!

is the impersonal sense I am;
the rest are concepts.”Buddha

“I am” is higher than saying “God is”.

Truth is that which never changes.
Mr. Jesus says:
I am the Truth.
I am the Way.
I am the Light.
In me you have peace,
in the world you have tribulations.I am with you always.
What is with us always?
The simple effortless sense of being:I am, I exist.
Prior to the arising of thoughts and feelings.
It is so simple and ordinary that we overlook it in favor of experience and stories we tell ourself. We look out into the world, observe thinking and feeling, but overlook the Presence “I AM”.
For Holger “I AM” was an acquired taste! I needed someone to introduce me to myself: “you are not what you think and feel to be, you are the Presence of Awareness in which everything arises and subsides”. The introduction was some intellectual understanding, but mainly it was feeling trust, love, gentleness.
The ‘me’ (we habitually identify as) hates this type of talk, because thinking cannot figure out what ‘I am’ actually is! It’s a mystery, yet undeniable; who could say I am not?
Truth is that which never changes.
Mr. Jesus says: I am the Truth. I am the Way. I am the Light. In me you have peace, in the world you have tribulations.
“The spiritual path is not a solo endeavor. The notion of a self who is trying to free her/himself is a delusion. We are in it together and the company of spiritual friends helps us realize our interconnectedness.”
