Any idea, name or concept of who you think you are, is a layer on top of your true being.

How we think of ourselves changes over the years.
Something in us is unchanging, always present, the source of our being.
This truth of who we are, has nothing to do with thought or thinking.
We are more than any thought. We are awareness, conscious and present with or without thinking taking place.
Learn to go beyond how you conceive of yourself.
