The
world you see is transient. Everything in it is in the process of being
born and dying. Don't just accept these words. Look. Isn't
that the way in the world?
In
this recognition, one is wise to begin to investigate what is not born, what
does not die. How...one might ask ... does one look for something that is
not in the world (if it were it would be subject to birth and death), but which
animates all things?
(Disclaimer he he he...words can only
point...one can use things in the world to point towards what is not in the
world, but understand or know, that you cannot describe something that isn't in
the world you can only use what is in the world to point to what cannot be
described. However you can Know it and that will come as you begin to
know that you cannot understand. :o) So "air" is just being
used as a concept to point to what is not "air" or anything that has
an attribute that can be described with words. Thank you for your time.

First,
one does not look...you can't look for air right ... yet you know it is there.
It is the same with what you and the world are IN. So to begin just
know or accept, just like you have with air, that it is true that
what animates you cannot be born and cannot die (but that it is not
an individual). You can't have individual air and yet air sustains
everyone. Air doesn't ask you to be a certain way for you to breath. :o)
So there is nothing to do to begin to know who you are, but relax and
begin to accept that you don't know, but are willing to begin to know.
Then
you start to dig through all the things that you are not. This step is
simple, yet often overlooked in one's frustration to understand. One must
have patience and perserverance to begin to discover who they are. It
took this many years to make a "you" that "you" aren't.
It may take a bit of time to see that this "you" isn't (but it
doesn't have to because it is not dependent on time...it is who you Are right
now, you just think it isn't, lucky for you that just because you think
something doesn't make it so).
What
you begin and end with is a question, that question is:
"Who am I?"
If
the answer that comes, can change, can be altered or moved, it is not who you
are (that is the tool to begin to know what and who you are not). This is
the beginning of the end of who you "think" you are. And the
beginning recognition of who "You" actually Are.
Namaste.
