Orthodoxy Transforming Spirituality

Where is the me? Were is the I? Look for it all day long and you will never find it. We have been told all our lives that we are independent “I” people. That we are separate, we are “here” and all the rest of the world is “there”.

Yet, we all feel as if there is an “I” in there somewhere. Some people think their “I” is their soul or spirit or other invisible part of them. One woman I know thinks here “I” dwells between the center of her forehead extending about three inches. Yet, when I asked her to please show it to me, she couldn’t.

Where do we get the idea that “we” exist apart from all of the non-we parts that make us up? The first time I thought of this question I was terrified. I had fear run through my veins like ice. We have been trained since youth to understand “yours”, “mine”, “theirs”, “ours” “over there” and “over here.” In actuality, we are all hard pressed to show anyone the “I” we so dearly defend.
