This is an advanced practice of who am I.
So today.
We'll practice.
The advanced version of OMR.
So let's get started our meditation.
Who am I?
Sit in any comfortable posture.
Allow your body to become still.
Let your spine be naturally upright.
Relax your shoulders.
Relax your hands.
Soften your face.
And gently close your eyes.
Take a slow breath in.
And slow breath out.
Again.
Breath in.
And breath out.
One more gentle breath.
And release.
There is nowhere to go.
Nothing to achieve.
Nothing to prove.
For these moments.
Simply be here.
Allow one question.
To arise quietly within you.
Who am I?
Let the question arise.
Do not search for an intellectual answer.
Do not try to remember.
What you have read or heard.
Simply allow the question to be here.
Who am I?
Let the answer come naturally.
Let the question arise naturally.
Without force.
We usefully identify ourselves.
With the body.
With the senses.
With our name.
With our roles.
With our thoughts.
With our emotions.
And with the state of the mind.
But today.
They will look more deeply.
One layer at a time.
It will recognize.
This is experienced by me.
But this is not who I am truly.
Let us begin with the elements.
That make up the physical body.
Feel the weight of your body.
Feel its solidity.
Bones.
My souls.
Skin.
Structure.
This is the quality of art.
Silently recognized.
I am not the earth element.
Earth is present in this body.
This body receives nourishment.
From the earth.
And one day.
This body will return to the earth.
Earth changes,
The body changes.
And I know.
These changes.
Therefore,
I am not the earth.
Now,
Become aware of the fluid nature of the body.
It's a labor.
Tears.
Moisture.
Everything that flows.
The water elements.
Silently recognize.
I am not the water element.
Water enters his body.
Water leaves this body.
It is constantly changing.
And I know that change.
Therefore,
I am not water.
Now notice the warmth,
The warmth of the body.
The heat of digestion.
The energy of transformation.
The fire element.
Recognize I am not the fire element.
Heat increases.
He decreases.
Temperature changes.
And I know these changes.
Therefore,
I'm not fired.
Become aware of the breath.
Air and drink.
Air living.
Expansion.
Contraction.
Movement.
Recognize.
I am not the air element.
The breath comes.
The bread goes.
I observe the bread.
Therefore,
I am not air.
Now.
Become aware of space.
Space around the body.
Space within the room.
Space between sounds.
A space in which everything appears.
Recognize.
I am not a space element.
Art.
Not I.
Water.
Not I.
Fire.
Not I.
Yeah.
Not I.
Space,
Not I.
These elements.
Come together.
To form this body.
They continuously change.
But something knows their changing condition.
So ask quietly.
If I am not earth,
Not water.
Not fired.
Not here.
Not space.
Who am I?
Ask repeatedly this question,
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
Now.
Bring your awareness.
To the body itself.
Feel your hands.
Feel your feet.
Feel your face.
Feel your chest.
Feel the entire body sitting here.
This body.
Has changed.
Throughout your whole life.
The body you had as a child.
Is not the body you have today.
The face changed.
The size changed.
The scenes changed.
A strength change.
Health Changed.
Appearance changed.
Through all those changes.
There has always been the sense.
I am.
The body changes.
And I know that it changes.
Therefore,
I am not merely this body.
I have a body.
But I am not limited to the body.
Become aware of your own senses.
Become aware of seeing.
Even with the eyes closed.
There may be light.
Darkness.
Colors.
Or images.
Seeing is experienced.
And seeing is known.
The eyes are.
Instrument of seeing.
I can be aware of the eyes.
Therefore,
I'm not dice.
Now,
Become aware of the sound.
Sounds nearby.
Sounds far away.
Perhaps the sound of your breath.
Hearing happens.
And hearing is known.
The ears are instrument of hearing.
Therefore,
I am not the years.
Become aware of smell.
Whether there is a strong smell.
Are almost nothing at all.
Smelling is an experience.
And the experience is known.
Therefore,
I like the sense of smell.
Become aware of this.
Best changes.
Sometimes pleasant.
Sometimes unpleasant.
Sometimes neutral.
The best is known.
Therefore,
I am not test.
Feel sensation in the body.
Coolness.
Pressure.
Softness.
Tension.
Touch.
Sensation is experienced.
Sensation is known.
Therefore,
I'm not touch.
Seeing is known.
Hearing is known.
Smelling is normal.
Best is known.
Dutch is known.
The senses.
Give me information.
About the world.
But I am the one.
Who know the sensory experiences.
So quietly recognize.
I am not the eyes.
I'm not the years.
I'm not smelly.
I am not test.
I am not touch.
I am not the senses.
The senses are known.
Who is the knower?
Who am I?
Ask this question.
Repeatedly.
Ask this question.
Again and again.
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?
Video on me.
Silently in the mind.
Your name was given to you.
It was useful.
People call you by that name.
But before you understood it.
Your name?
You already existed.
Therefore,
I am not my name.
I'm not my age.
I am not my profession.
I'm not my title.
I am not my social position.
I'm not my.
Positions.
I may have many roles.
Child.
Partner.
Friend.
Be sure.
Student.
Worker.
Needle.
Patrols change.
They begin.
The end.
I know the rule.
Therefore,
I am not the role.
Now we move deeper.
Observe the feeling of ego.
The voice that says,
I must be right.
I must be recognized.
I must be important.
People must respect me.
I must protect my image.
Do not fight with ego.
Simply observe it.
Ego can become strong.
Ego can become quiet.
Ego changes.
And I know.
When ego is present.
Therefore,
I am not ego.
Ego is known.
I'm the one who knows ego.
Now observe anger.
Do not enter the story of war.
Who caused the hangover.
Simply recognize.
As an experience.
Pension.
Resistance.
Agitation.
Anger arises.
It stays for some time.
Then it changes.
Eventually it disappears.
If anger were truly.
.
.
Who I am.
Then one anger disappeared.
I would disappear.
But anger.
Disappears.
And I remain.
Therefore,
I am not angered.
Anger is norm.
I am the Knower of Anger.
Now notice right.
The need to feel superior.
The need to prove something.
The need for praise.
Pride appears.
Pride is known.
Therefore,
I am not bright.
No discrete.
The voice that says,
More.
I need more.
More possessions.
More success.
More attention.
More recognition.
More pleasure.
More control.
Greed arises.
Great changes.
Grid is known.
Therefore,
I am not greed.
Now notice jealousy.
Comparison.
Why does that person have what I want?
Why are they successful?
Why are they receiving attention?
Why not me?
Do not judge jealousy.
Simply see it.
Jealousy is something you can observe.
Therefore,
I'm not jealousy.
Now.
Notice the attachment.
The mind saves.
I knew this.
This must be mine.
This must stay.
This must not change.
Without this.
I cannot be happy.
Attachment is known.
Therefore,
I am not attachment.
Now notice aversion.
I do not want this.
I hate this.
This must go away.
This should not be happening.
Aversion is known.
Therefore,
I am not aversion.
Notice fear.
Fear of lossing.
Fear of failure.
Fear of rejection.
Fear of uncertainty.
Fear of tomorrow.
Sphere appears.
Fear changes.
Fear passes.
And I know fear.
Therefore,
I am not fear.
Notice desire.
I want this.
I want that.
I want something to happen.
I want something to change.
One desire appears.
Then it disappears.
Another desire comes.
Desires keep changing.
Therefore,
I am not desired.
Now slowly recognize.
I'm not ego.
I'm not angry.
I'm not pride.
I am not greed.
I'm not jealousy.
I am not attachment.
I am not aversion.
I am not fear.
I am not desired.
All these states.
Arise.
Remain for some time.
And pass away.
But something knows.
Terror Rifle.
And their departure.
What is that?
Who is knowing?
Who am I?
Who am I?
Raise this question again and again.
Ask loudly inside your mind.
Who am I?
Now.
Turn your attention.
Toward thought itself.
Do not try to stop thinking.
Simply watch.
Wait for the next thought.
A thought appears.
Maybe a word.
An image.
A memory.
A plan.
A judgment.
Watch it.
The thought appeared.
It remained for a moment.
And then it changed.
Another thought appears.
Oh no,
That thought appeared.
Your thought is something.
I can hope so.
Therefore.
I'm not taught.
Perhaps.
A thought says,
I understand.
That is a thought.
Perhaps.
It saves.
I do not understand.
That is also a thought.
Perhaps it says,
I am peaceful.
A thought.
Perhaps.
I am restless.
Another thought.
Whatever thought appears.
It is known.
Therefore,
I am not thought.
Arts are like visitors.
They arrive.
They stay for a while and they leave.
I know when a thought arrives.
I know when a thought disappears.
Heart is known.
I am the knower of time.
Now notice the space.
Between thoughts.
To not create silence.
Simply notice.
Become aware of emotion.
What is present right now.
Peace.
Restlessness.
Sadness.
Happiness.
Anxiety.
Tenderness.
Perhaps nothing is strong at all.
Whatever is present.
Allow it to be present.
An emotion arises.
And emotion changes.
And emotion passes.
And the emotion is known.
Therefore,
I am not emotion.
I am not sadness.
I am not happiness.
I am not anxiety.
I am not excitement.
I am not loneliness.
I am not guilty.
I am not ashamed.
This emotion can be felt.
They can be honored.
They can be understood.
But they are not.
My deepest identity.
Emotion is norm.
I am the knower of emotion.
And now.
.
.
We return to the original question.
If I am not the earth,
Not water,
Not fire,
Not air,
Not space.
Then who am I?
If I am not the body.
Not the eyes.
Not the ears.
Not smell.
Not taste.
Not touch.
Not the senses.
And who am I?

Not pride.
Not great.
Not jealousy.
Not attachment.
Not ever son.

Then who am I?
If I am not thought.
And I am not emotion.
Then,
Who am I?
Repeatedly ask this question.
Again and again.
Very loudly inside your mind.
Who am I?
Who am I?
And just wait for the answer.
Do not answer it.
Another thought.
Simply a notice.
Just notice.
The body is known.
The breath is known.
The senses are known.
Talk is Gnome.
Emotion is known.
Anger is known.
Fear is known.
Even silence is known.
What is it?
That knows all of this.
Just inquire.
Very deeply.
But not imagine it.
Do not give it a form.
Do not give it a color.
To not turn into another concept.
Only inquire deeply.
Simply Recognize.
The experience of knowing.

While the thought is present.
Awareness is here.
When the thought disappears.
Awareness remains.
Anger calms.
Anger goes.
Awareness knows both.
Fear comes.
Fear goes.
Awareness knows both.
Emotions come.
Emotions go.
Awareness knows them.
Experiences change.
The knowing of experience remains.
Rest has the knower.
Rest as the witness.
Rest as awareness.
And now.
Even let go of the words.
YOLO.
Witness.
And awareness.
They too are only words.
Do not hold.
On to the worlds.
Rest in what they point towards.
Nice story.
No.
No judgement.
Nothing to prove.
Nothing to become.
Simply knowing.
Simply being.
If a thought comes.
No,
Wait.
And let it pass.
If an emotion comes.
And let it pass.
If a sensation comes.
Noi.
And let it pass.
Nothing needs to be pushed away.
Nothing needs to be held.
Simply remains aware.
Now us.
Once more.
Who am I?
Do not answer from memory.
Do not answer from philosophy.
Look directly.
This body is known.
Oh no,
Is it?
This breath is known.
Oh no,
Is it?
This thought is known.
Who knows it?
This emotion is known.
Who knows it?
Remain with that question.
Now.
Slowly repeat.
Within yourself.
I am not the elements.
I am not the body.
I am not the senses.
I am not my name.
I am not my role.
I'm not ego.
I am not anger.
I am not pride.
I am not greedy.
I am not jealousy.
I am not fear.
I am not desired.
I am not thought.
I am not emotion.
Who am I?
I am the one who knows.
I am the witness.
I am awareness.
And from this awareness.
May I recognize Anger.
Without becoming lost in anger.
May I recognize fear.
Without becoming lost in fear.
May I recognize Jealousy?
Without becoming lost in jealousy.
May I recognize greed?
Without becoming lost in greed.
May I recognize thoughts?
Without becoming imprisoned by thoughts.
May I experience emotions.
Without forgetting the one.
Who knows the emotion.
May I leave with greater awareness.
May I become less attached.
To temporary identities.
May I cause less harm.
May I,
Me?
Myself.
And others.
With greater clarity.
Now,
Take a gentle breath in.
And slowly breath out.
Again,
Breath in.
I'm Brett Howe.
Feel your hands.
Feel your feet.
Feel your body sitting here.
Listen to the sound around you.
And remembered.
These inquiries.
Does not end.
When the meditation ends.
When anger appears,
Ask.
Who knows this angle?
When fear appears.
Who knows this fear?
When the mind become full of thoughts.
Who knows these thoughts?
When an emotion becomes powerful.
Who knows this emotion?
Again and again.
Return to the simple question.

Not ours.
Not water.
Not fired.
Not aired.
Not space.
Not the body.
Not the senses.
Not ego.
Not anger.
Not jealousy.
Not creative.
Not fear.

Take one final gentle breath in.
And slowly breath out.
When you are ready.
Gently open your eyes.
Remained quiet for a few moments.
And carry the question with you.
Who am I?
Not as a question.
That needs an intellectual answer.
But as an invitation.
To look within.
Who am I?
Simply No.
Simply be.
