The 'I' Which is Prior to the 'I Am' is the Truth - 12th Sept 2016
Saar (Essence)
Ananta explains that while the world offers many stories of individuality, the ultimate truth lies in the awareness prior to being, which is a reality we have always known but temporarily forgotten.
The eye which is prior to 'I am' is the truth.
Most shops sell the story of individuality; few point you toward who you really are.
I am selling you something that you have already always known.

Yes. So, let's go look at it like this: The 'I' that is aware of even this being is the truth. The 'I' which is prior to the 'I Am' is the truth. Yes. Now, what happens is what you are saying is that play of this in the superimposition, as you call it—very nice. So, on the superimposition on this being is this realm, you see? Now, in the play of this realm, most are considering themselves to be objects within this realm. It is never true, you see?
Now, in this realm, we have—although it's one big supermarket that shows up, you see—now, most of the shops are selling one story, which is that you are an individual separate entity. And there are some few shops that are selling this story that you are not this; look for who you really are, you see? Both are phenomenal, both are shops, you see? There is nothing which is the phenomenal realm which is the ultimate truth. And yet, this is as far as you're speaking from within the realm, you see?
There is also the appearance of great devotion, great love, great joy. These, when we are coming to this kind of shop which tells us that 'I don't have anything except this mirror,' I see. And this mirror will transcend your phenomenal existence and can show you that which is the truth, your ultimate truth, which you have always known. The funny thing is, just to put it in worldly terms, I am selling you something that you have already known always.
