#267 – Who are you?

You're not your Ego.

You're not your thoughts.

You're not the fear for what's happening in the world, as you watch how a mature democracy appears to slide into autocracy boosted by lies and parallel realities.

You're not the sadness for seeing your 20-year-old unjustly incarcerated, while the man who attacked him (and violated your trust) is going on with his life of opulence, enjoying his power over women less vocal than you.

You're not the frustration of malfunctioning work tools; the stress over your underemployment, sinking markets, and rising prices; the anxiety over your plans of leaving the country in the next 11 months.

So, if you're not that, who are you? Who I am?

I am the consciousness that watches all that. Therefore, I don't need to suffer.

I can watch the fear, the sadness, the stress and all the other emotions without getting enmeshed in them.

I can feel them come, let them be, and watch them go.

I can experience the experiences and let them in through my soft front. Yet I stay grounded through my strong back.

Therefore, I am free.

Who are you, if you're not your Ego nor your experiences?

Love,

Carolina
