ME and The Law of Conservation of Energy

How many MEs do we have? For sure more than one. In my case, those MEs do not always coexist very well, creating tension and stress, this constant necessity to choose which ME should be embraced at the time. Logical ME, emotional ME, sensual ME, habitual ME, the list goes on.

How do you achieve peace? Do you decide which ME is worth keeping and which one should be gotten rid of or suppressed? You really cannot get rid of anything. It’s a simple law of conservation of energy, it cannot be destroyed, it cannot be created, it only changes from one form to another. And then this AHA moment, and it is so obvious, so clear (it is really amazing that it took so long to come to this) – those MEs are supposed to blend into one ME, energy easily flowing between them. That whole ME is greater than the sum of all of them. The challenge is, of course, to be able to do that (and have fun with it!). For now, at least, there is an awareness.

A young girl asks herself “Who am I? What am I?”

She is too young to answer. There is nobody to guide her. The question remains unanswered and fades away with the time. The question fades away but a feeling of something missing stays. Time passes, she does not ask the question anymore, but still there is uneasiness inside her. She cannot put her finger on it. Her mind is strong, her will power is even stronger. She decides that it is not logical to have this strange feeling of something she cannot identify. So, she directs her mind to suppress this feeling. Time passes. Logical thinking comes easily to her, it becomes her. Years pass. Life happens. There is a lot of happiness, but also tragedies. She feels overwhelmed by this constant fight between logic and emotion, this feeling of fire inside her. She turns to Tai Chi. And then, seemingly out of nowhere (to her), her Tai Chi Master pulls her aside and tells her “I am going to help you”. And so begins her journey to answering this long forgotten question “Who am I? What am I?”
