QUESTION: Which are you? Binary ego-self OR True Self?

STORY: In 2015 I found the book, Self Observation - The Awakening of Conscience, by Red Hawk. He clearly describes the pathway toward our True Identity as Consciousness. It is a rough road but it is absolutely necessary! We all identify ourselves as material objects or binary things living in a world that is separate from us: you/me, smart/dumb, rich/poor, male/female, young/old, black/white, good/bad and lots more. Yes we have a material body but we are a SOUL. Our True Identity is Consciousness - our Soul. It is the Oneness that connects us with all of life. My little drawing here kinda expresses the ONENESS that is always back and behind our separate ego sense of self! And one day, I called Red Hawk, the author, and learned about what is called a "Work Chamber" where a group of people meet to read the book and discuss their personal WORK of releasing themselves from their ego identity and awakening to their True Identity. Group work is helpful in this kind of WORK. My Work Chamber is reading Red Hawk’s new book: Self Remembering - The Path to Non-judgmental Love.

QUOTES

“We must all learn to walk back and forth between matter-space and mind-space.” ~ Thane

“Know Thyself is one of the foundational spiritual teachings of humanity. It was above the entrance to the Oracle at Delphi. Socrates taught it to his students. Buddha calls it watching. Krishna calls it meditation. Jesus calls it witnessing. Mr. Gurdjieff calls it self observation. The essential tool to Know Thyself is simple self observation.” ~ Red Hawk

“You are free to be a servant to your Higher Self or a slave to your lower self.” ~ Paul Brunton
