Expound on this

I was somewhat trolling and Idk if this is the answer youre looking for or if im qualified to speak but this is Eastern philosophy:

Everyone has an image of who they think they are in their heads.. The person you think you are comes from memories, stories other people have told you, future hopes and dreams and different beliefs. When u think about it and bring yourself to the present moment the image we have of ourselves shaped in our minds are just thoughts. That person u think u are only exists in your mind. It's an illusion.

I have books and other resources if you are interested in learning about this philosophy if u want

Knowledge of self is rediscovering or remembering that you are god, your awareness/mind is at least. Close your eyes and imagine, create etc...that's god. "Be still and know." Of course it's really easy to say this shyt, read and so on. You have to come to this conclusion yourself and the only way to do that is through meditation, isolation, reflection etc. To understand is to know and to know is to experience it for yourself

I'm finishing this book by Alan Watts called The Book. You can find some of his speeches on youtube too. You also have actualized.org, sadhguru, eckhart tolle, ram Dass, and mooji(this is a breh if you want to learn from someone black) on youtube. Other books im planning on getting into is Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, the end of your world, and cutting through spiritual materialism. Research about buddhism Taoism and stoicism. Probably more isms im forgetting. It's interesting stuff

Meditation and before that Marijuana has allowed me to see and evaluate myself in the abstract.

A weightless entity bound by no tool or force of man.


Self for me is the life experiences and composite energy came to make who I am in this moment. But self changes based off of those same factors.

It's a bunch of dusthead ramblings. Literally.

There's much better paths to "enlightenment"
