Transcending the Self Identity
in Meditation
"The personal sense of self identity is made up of
a whole bunch of thoughts that attention has held on to.
Attention becomes attracted to thoughts
and so attention holds on to them,
chews on them, elaborates on them.
And because attention has given itself
to a thought in this way, the thought sticks around,
it becomes part of the personal self, of who you think you are.
It arises and you identify with it.
Because you identify with it, it comes back
and you identify with it again and in this way it strengthens.
It is constantly reinforcing itself in this way
as a personal sense of who you think you are.
There is no solid self identity that is made of thoughts,
but rather it is just an action of attention
repeatedly grabbing hold of the same thoughts over and over.
And with this holding on to thoughts comes separation:
Attention which is free of duality contracts itself into a thought
and from that distinguishes itself from everything else.
The more thoughts it attaches itself to,
the greater that separation becomes.
And from that comes conflict,
the need to protect all of these thoughts and beliefs
because it has become what you are.
Meditation is the process of breaking down
this structure of identified thoughts
so that the peace that you truly are can shine through.
By consciously not holding on to the thoughts,
the energy behind the thoughts dissipate
until attention becomes free of them
or the thoughts stop arising all together.
Shakti is the energy that awakens your attention
to the bliss that you truly are and in that realization,
this structure of a personal self identity as
thoughts being held on to starts to collapse.
And so there is the conflict:
If you really commit to meditation and shakti,
you will awaken into unfathomable peace, love and transcendence.
But it will also require you to let go of who you think you are.
So in meditation, you make a decision:
which is more important, the thought that is arising
or the bliss that is your true nature?
Because it will not always be easy
to let go of a thought you have claimed to be important.
It will not always be easy to rest in the place of not knowing;
to be in the place where the mind no longer
has anything to hold on to.
Yet it is far worse to go through life
gripping all the thoughts that make up your self identity
never realizing the unconditional peace & love
that is your true nature.
Better to take the plunge,
transcend the self identity in meditation
and realize your true nature of peace.
Because immersing yourself
in the depths of that peace
is better than anything that could be imagined.
Much love,
Kip"
