Hitoshi Tsuchiyama

The document discusses different levels of self-awareness - ego, temporary true self, and full time true self. Ego is the separate self that is unaware of the interdependence of happiness and suffering. Temporary true self can recognize both positive and negative phenomena but still experiences duality between birth and death. Full time true self has reached enlightenment through realizing the interdependence of all things and experiencing non-duality, resulting in ultimate peace and extinction of all notions. The evolution of humanity involves progressing from ego to temporary true self and ultimately to full time true self.

"If I ask who am I then who is asking who am I, who am I and who is listening ?" is a very interesting and deep question. The following is my answer to the question: Full time true self (enlightened person) never asks such a question because s/he knows s/he is the whole cosmos. So, "Who am I?"'s "I" is ego or temporary true self (those who are mindful temporarily but aren't enlightened yet). Ego or temporary true self is asking "Who am I?". The answer to "Who is listening?" has three patterns. If ego is asking "Who am I?", only ego is listening or ego and temporary true self are listening. If temporary true self is asking "Who am I?", ego and temporary true self are listening. 2015/9/5 2Copyright ? 2015, Hitoshi Tsuchiyama. All rights reserved. 1. Deep Question and Answer (ego, temporary true self, full time true self)
When I had two versions of myself, I asked to myself, ＾How can I stop rejecting myself? How can I love myself?￣. And I found out that "I" was ego and "myself" was temporary true self as follows: How can I (ego) stop rejecting myself (true self)? How can I (ego) love myself (true self)? * True self of above means temporary true self (those who are mindful temporarily but aren't enlightened yet). So I needed to transcend duality. Therefore, there are three versions of oneself which are ego, temporary true self and full time true self. Evolution of humanity means the evolution from ego to temporary true self, and the evolution from temporary true self to full time true self. 2015/9/5 3Copyright ? 2015, Hitoshi Tsuchiyama.
