Jed Rant.. more on the I Am.

Dear Members:
Think back five, ten, twenty years and contemplate this. Your
body has changed over that time, virtually every cell has been
rebuilt of replaced... your memories are different... your
thinking capacity has changed as well.. but something has
remained the same. Some small sense of you has always been the
same. What is that awareness, that intangible thingy?
Can you find it or sense it.
Love ya, Jed.

The tooth has the change, the finger has the change, the age has
the change, the memory has the change, the thought has the
change, the environment has the change, what has not changed?
Space?
Consciousness?
I'm stuck here. "Consciousness"
Wait for the "real" arrival. ::)

The one thing I share with the old me seems to be continuity. A
story line, that's all.

Is you story line the same as it was when you where five years
old? Or at you saying that you had a story line when five and
one now, but not the same?
Cheers,
Jed.

there must be a mechanism to keep the story congruent, i think
im a story with sub-stories like a movie with chapters , and
scenes, but really i dont know if they are totally true, i have
relatives and they can confirm some aspects of my stories, but i
dont know really if that happened, when it comes to only rely on
me to confirm my stories, i think im trusting so much on my
memory. i am aware of having that story, maybe i have it ,
so what is that sense of self or awareness? is this sense of
existance something fundamental for all
and there is just a sense of separation imposed? in other words
is this sense of existance eternal and there is just the
illusion of separation?

I think memories provide continuity or a story. But there had
to be something before the story to even be witness to the
story. Like when you're born, most of us don't have memories
before a certain time. We can recall some kind of first memory,
but we must have been present even before that to have had that
first memory. So we definitely weren't the story or continuity
then, but we somehow existed before that to be able to COME to
the story and continuity.
(And although I'm saying then, before we have memories, I
recognize that that moment is right now because that memory also
happened Now. I guess my Now is currently just more cluttered
with things like memories and self stories. : )
(One last edit. I'm reading the Wile E. Coyote bit of
Dreamstate at the moment which is a VERY fun section to read,
thanks for that bit, and it seems to work very well as a
parallel to this particular forum thread topic. : )

I mean to say it is one story that links current me to
five-year-old me. The continuity seems pretty convincing because
of the speed at which we experience our lives. My story from
yesterday is pretty close to my story from today- there is
almost the same stuff going on, I have pretty much the same
concerns and motives. That gradual day by day shift makes it
seems like the decades-long story is a unified whole. That, to
my reckoning, is the only thing that links me to the five year
old me.

To whom it may concern, I am new here and have been on this path
a very long time alone in a community that just doesn't seem to
understand or believe I'm serious or care. I have found
mckenna's no bull sh&t way of treating people works for me and
my bad self image. I only talk in I statements becouse I don't
want to insinuate I'm speek Ing for anyone and that this is just
my perspective. Just looking for guidance at times and hoping I
can find some here. I'm not expecting answers just experience
that I can relate to. I hope I'm not intruding here in someway
but it's only the second place I've been refers to in my search
for my perspective.
