Beyond the "Me"

Hey everyone. Let's start with a simple question that can change how you see the world. We all have this feeling of "me," right? A separate person living in our head. Non-duality says that the feeling of being an individual "me" is more like a story our mind tells us, not the whole reality. When we start to see that story as just a story, a deep sense of connection and peace can show up.

You're the awareness—the space where thoughts and feelings happen, not the thoughts and feelings themselves.
The "me" is a concept. It's like a character in a movie, and the real you is the screen everything plays on. Unaffected by the stories that appear on it.
You're not alone. Everything is interconnected, and seeing through the illusion of separation reveals that connection.

So, here's a challenge: for the rest of today, notice the feeling of "me" without judgment. When the thought "I'm hungry" pops up, ask, "Who is noticing this thought?" What did you discover when you did this, or please share other practices that you find helpful?
