After a certain amount of self-improvement, you may begin to realize the self is the biggest issue. Most of us are unaware of the edges of our personality, we’re totally identified with it. If I have a personality, what is the I that is not personality. “I have a personality” is two subjects. The me that is not personality is the presence that’s aware during deep, dreamless sleep. The part of you that knows if/how much deep dreamless sleep you had last night. That presence, typically is the part of us we don’t know. The Self which equals “I don’t really know who I am”. If we aspire to truly know this part of ourselves, we may find a deep sense of peace we have been longing for. Most of us are so confused we are trying to quench this longing in a way that is backwards. We’re searching for our true identity by getting more things, becoming more attractive, or being better liked. We’re not turning our gaze inwards, where this treasure can be found.
