@mistermircea how do you stop thinking of yourself when you've been doing it habitually your whole life?
What do you think about everyday?
-
-
Always forgetting this. Do you meditate daily and if so, what format?
-
You are experiencing life and relating everything unnecessarily to a separate feeling of "I" which exists only in the mind.
-
No need to meditate as much as be aware of this phenomenon and remain one with the present movement and not with an imaginary center.
-
Do this for a few minutes and gradually do it more. You'll experience existence beyond the mind and then you won't be so attached to it.
-
Think of anything that relates to the idea of "I" as a ball and chain and observe how it pops up constantly. And simply let it go.
-
Still don't understand what things relate to 'I'! Things like emotions, loneliness, etc?
-
The mind creates a self whenever it relates any experience to 'I' 'me' or 'mine'. There is no permanent 'I' only a process of identification
-
Now you are lonely, tomorrow not. The mind posts an experiencer separate from the experience but if you observe it you won't find him.

Then the question
@mistermircea would be "is there such a thing as a 'you' in that case?" -
Simple answer: No.
-
What's the not so simple answer then?
-
To find out yourself..

To not be under the influence of your mind and thoughts it produces, YOU have to be present in the moment, now, not in the past or future
