Find yourself first as the witnessing presence of awareness in the background of experience. Recognise yourself as that and be that knowingly. 'I' is the name we give to the knowing, aware, perceptual element of experience. Simply know being; be aware of being. Awareness of being is happiness itself. Awareness has no form, but assumes all forms of experience. Why do I believe that I am a temporary, finite separate self and suffer? This infinite awareness must seem to become a finite mind. The infinite cannot know the finite directly, so must do so through the agency of the mind. The faculties of perception and thought are the means by which the one appears as many. You, finite mind, are the localised activity through which infinite awarenesss is able to actualise a segment of its infinite potential in form. As such, the finite mind is the instrument of creativity, of love.
