If I am consciousness and if I am immortal, and, if I am part of the whole of consciousness, then what’s my original name? Do I have an original name or identity (if an identity is even necessary)?
I have set off an avalanche of thoughts and questions pertaining to my identity, personality, and unique physical form, as well as the sense of self that I derive from them. I suddenly realize I’m not really who I think I have been all along.
There exists my current identity and physical self, and then there is this immense consciousness within…
What’s my name? To hell with my name…
What am I?
Who am I?
Where am I?
You know, that original I, before I became me.
