I always get such deep, intense thoughts in the early morning when I am half-awake, half-conscious.
Is it my subconscious speaking to me? The “divine spirit?”
It was telling me about our “selves”…
We believe in our embodied shell so much sometimes that this belief causes us immense suffering. Yet pain is what makes us human, creates depth. Pain is what allows us to love.
When a person dies.. an elder.. a baby.. we think how unfair it is how their life got taken away.
It seems as though.. the moment we label this something (being) and contain it (body), it is now a thing to lose. This “self” has its own thoughts, dreams, hopes, personality but does it really?
We are here for a short time.. I also don’t believe my “self” is here only for a short time. Energy… I was here before and will be after. Not “I”, my egoistic view of self, but my being.
Temporary.

This definitely made me think and I hope you are right.
