We tend to just react and take it for granted that all the 'I am' and 'I am not' is the truth. We create ourselves as a personality and attach to our memories. We remember the things we learned, we remember what we've done –  generally the more extreme things; we tend to forget more ordinary things. In meditation we are bringing awareness to the conditions of the mind here and now, just by being aware of this sense of 'I am, I am not'. The thought 'I am' is an impermanent condition. The thought 'I am not' is an impermanent condition. Ajahn Sumedho, Investigating the Mind Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. Manage your email settings or unsubscribe.
