Who am I?

This is not only the title of a popular Dutch television show, but also a question you could ask yourself every now and then: who am I really? Am I this job, this car, this home, this relation, this sportsman .... or is there more to "me", is there something else?

It is not so much the answer to the question that is interesting, it is more important that you ask yourself this question every now and then. Because simply asking the question has the power to enter some doubt in the conviction of your personality that the world is as it is, with everyone and everything neatly labeled in it. And that is a good start in itself.

So it is best to not start to look for the answer intellectually, reason about it or do other personality things to find it, but open up for an answer, any answer, whatever form it may take. Now it does not have to take the rigid form of a "text", it can also be a form of an answer you experience in a situation. Each will bring you a piece of the puzzle, and after a while the picture in the puzzle will become more and more clear to you.

There are more questions like this, that can induce a likewise process, like: why am I here. Remember, popping the question is the important part of the exercise here, not whether or not you will experience an answer (and what the answer is). Simply ask yourself the question, and do not invest any energy in finding the answer. Thus you free the way for an answer, inspired by your inner Self.
