The Living Journey continues with the second part of the series of the Living Compass. This episode refocuses on self-identity, with a single question, “Who am I?”. Every journey has a starting gate…
Jeremy Wentworth-StanleyHostThis compass that we're looking at, as I say, starts off with who am I? And we're going to talk a bit about who am I.
We've done this already, so forgive me if we're going over some old ground, but I'm not sure if who am I is ever a subject that we can go over too often.
we're often precluded from doing this because we get this, don't think too highly of yourself.
There are other people on the, on the beach and you get all these kinds of things.
And then of course you get this sort of the mass media that is suppressing individuality.
So again, Stopping in our tracks to look at who am I is not only a valuable lesson, it's a necessary lesson.
And that is that the individual human being is utterly, utterly remarkable.
When you sort of travail your eyes across the constellations and the stars and so on.
And you realize that you have this and I have this extraordinary ability independently to assess and reflect on all of the things that go on around us, how gravity works and how the skies work and the sun works and all this kind of thing.
So we have the ability to integrate ourselves into this understanding.
And at the same time, we have these bodies that are absolutely remarkable.
So what we want to do, though, is objectively to start thinking about who we are individually.
Now, having said objectively, we obviously need the tools to be able to do that.
Subjectively, the risk is if I think of myself subjectively, I get into a sort of, oh, yeah, well, I feel OK.
