Identität
Juli 4th, 2008 by tobiasIrgendwie kann ich mit vielen Diskussionen nicht mehr viel anfangen, und habe diesbezüglich auch mal John geschrieben. Dieses ständige “mich gibt es nicht”, in der einen oder anderen Variante. Ja, es gibt mich nicht fest, als Gestalt. Aber es gibt mich eben, als “ewig es”. Ich werde hier einfach einmal meinen heutigen Dialog mit John reinsetzen, denn er hat geantwortet, und das freut mich immer sehr:
Dear John,
if you have a minute, I would like to read your impression. I just have a discussion with someone, who says “I only exist, if I identify myself with something”. But this is somehow not true.
Yesterday I did go for a little sleep, but couldn’t sleep, even I started to dream. Then I got up again, and realized, this some minutes have been two hours.
But I knew, I didn’t go to sleep. Just this “form” goes to sleep, and wakes up again. And due to the fact, there “happened nothing” the impression arised, I did sleep, because “there is nothing (content) to remember”. It is an impression in the memory of the body (life), that arises “waking up”.
Now this is quite difficult to speak about, that the identity stays aware, but also “without identification”, say content. And this empty awareness is, what can identify with something. It is me. I do not exist, because there is identification. I exist independent of any identification, and this is the cause, I can identify. Without of this “identless myself” there would no identification be possible.
Love tobias
Dear Tobias,
Yes, it’s absurd to say “I don’t exist” no matter what follows that statement.
Identity IS you, and identification is something you do from time to time.
It’s good to hear from you Tobias, I read everything you send me with delight.
in love,
John
