These two questions have accompanied me through many lifetimes, and the answers continue to change as I develop.
I have come into existence to learn the lessons I once failed to pass: to find real love and a true soul mate; to accept my shortcomings and mistakes and work to correct them rather than run from them.
I am not many of the things I once blindly believed myself to be. I am not this body. I am not my title, education level, or wealth. I am not my wisdom, nor the emptiness of personal value. Looking deeper and truer within, my ego slowly vanishes into thin air—like the illusion of beautiful images projected from clouds that disappear under clear, bright sunlight.
At first I panic, yet I feel relieved and light in my heart and mind when these illusory egos dissolve, revealing that they were only dreamy sufferings. On this solitary journey of discovering my true self, letting go helps me move forward rather than backward.
