In the dream of life the all and the nothing appear separate. The what is and what isn t is viewed without the recognition of the space from which to see the both simultaneously. Awareness recognizes memory as an expression of beliefs, of stories and concepts, which are born out of reoccurring thoughts. Like a record stuck in a groove it continually repeats itself and gives life to the belief that there is an I in which this memory is contained, an I that see s separation and opposition with every thought that arises. The I belief sets up a system that continually acquires knowledge to create a personal world view of itself and its surroundings and works out from what it already believes or doesn t. I is exclusive from the moment the original belief of separation is born. The I speaks with the intention of excluding others. The I takes the right path. I holds the truth. I speaks from personal experience etc. Such thoughts are gratifying to the I belief as it is totally unaware of its separation and yet it appears to be on a continual search for knowledge, sensing that there is something missing, something that has not been recognized, and something out there that a search into the unknown will unfold. The I is in a continual mode of collecting knowledge and most of what it speaks arises out of the accumulation of what it has heard from other I.s in a similar quest Ask who am I and the I begins the story of what it believes it has done, what it has achieved, what it considers to be real, what it has failed or accomplished and what it has experienced. It rarely looks at what this I is in the moment and therefore makes reference to what it has accumulated. It see s the beginning from the birth of the I and moves out from this according to personal experience. What is labeled with the letter I? Was there something there to be labeled

What was it before it was labeled, before it took on the accumulation of the I beliefs? These questions threaten the I s existence as without the memory of what I is there is no I. There
