The Open Flame Foundation - Realizing Inner Peace

Are you willing to investigate the story and see?

Is who you think you are is really who you are?

One goes on assuming they are a “me” separate from “other”. Countless energy is used ALL TO MAINTAIN THE BELIEF OF ONESELF AS A THING- A “ME”. There is a full belief in a story of this “Me” a complete drama- with circumstances and characters that may be against you or for you. The attention is then continually on ones thoughts, physical sensations, and emotions, in an attempt to maintain the story. Believing that somehow the story will deliver true peace and happiness, yet it never does. The reason it doesn’t deliver is because it cannot. All these THINGS are temporary- the story- the body, the thoughts and the emotions are things. They all come and go. They all have a beginning and an end. Therefore they have a limit- and only the limitless can deliver true peace and happiness. This “me” is maintained by your identifying yourself as something temporary- A body, a thought, an emotion, or a form. Yet there is a YOU that is aware of thoughts as they come and go. A YOU that is aware of emotions as they come and go and a YOU that is aware of physical sensations. A YOU that is aware of the body. If you move your attention from the “things” to the YOU that is AWARE, you will know yourself as AWARNESS ITSELF. This is the invitation of freedom now and it is extended to you in this very moment.
