Above and before them came who we are, simply us without words, thoughts, emotions, expectations. And that is our higher self - the self that looks around and is in the moment is the enlightened person. Being concerned with the voices in our heads makes us unenlightened, even perhaps, full of garbage that we can't seem to take out, sifting through it again and again as if there is something there to keep when it should all just be disposed. <BR/>I have come to know you - through your blogs - as an observer, someone who is very in touch with her surroundings, even perhaps (whispering now) someone who is Present.
