Knock knock

If you’re somebody who is interested in truth and self-inquiry (and you proooobably are, since you’re here) then you might like to play with some of these questions. You could probably choose one and spend years on it, so don’t feel you have to dive into all of them at once. In fact, you don’t even need to answer them - it can be even more illuminating to simply read a few then let them simmer in the sub-conscious.

Who are you in the morning, in the moment you become aware?
Who are you in the evening, in the moment you fall asleep?
Who are you in the early hours, when dreamscape is reality?
Who are you in the afternoon, when you drift into thought-land?

At what point did you begin wearing your name?
When did your sense of ‘I’ develop an individual essence?
When did sight become sight and sound become sound?
What was your life before it was gagged by labels?

Without describing the physical process, tell me about birth?
Without describing the physical process, tell me about death?
Without pointing to things that change, tell me about truth?
Without symbols, gestures and abstractions, can you show me your life?

Is your life a journey? Where are you going? Then where? Then where?
If your life a remembering? What are you remembering? Where does this memory reside?
Is your life a discovery? What are you looking for? What will you do with it when you find it?
Is your life a game? Who is playing? How is this game to be played?
