[AdvaitaToZen] Fw: HEY, JOE / vely impoltant pie fight this is! / some more dabopie

[Guest guest]

you are this consciousness.

it is at the core of you.

it is you.

only now it experiences only objects.

when all objects are gone,

the subject will experience itself.

you will know who you are.

 

 

when i said go to the group page and read the description

i meant the Niz page.

there it is written:

 

 

 

The seeker is he who is in search of himself.

 

Give up all questions except one: 'Who am I?'
