"it doesn't matter where you start. you could start by using ramana maharsha's query, 'who am i?' or 'what is me?' and then just work at it. just try to say something true and keep at it until you do. write and rewrite, make it cleaner and cut out the excess ego and follow it wherever it leads until you're done."
"this is about what you know for sure, what you are sure you know is true, and about what you are that is true..."
"if you ever have any questions or problems--no matter what the question or problem is--the answer is always exactly the same."
"sit down, shut up, and ask yourself what's true until you know."
what is me?
i am a creature of the universe. i am a being in a universe. i am a body. an organic life form. i am a bunch of cells and atoms. i am of the male species. i am a male. what can i prove?
what is me?
what makes me different than anyone else?
what is god? god is an idea created by man. does this make man god? how can man be anything other than man? is man just the creator of god? man is just man.
I WILL DIE SOMEDAY. i'm pretty sure about that. my grandpa died. am i my grandpa? no. then how do i know? i guess i don't, but it just seems so obvious...
