Full Self-Remembering

Now as regards the question: "Which self must I remember when I try to remember myself?" First, remember the self or 'I' that knows what your aim is. This brings all the 'I's in you that wish to awaken into consciousness. Second, there is such a thing as real 'I' in us. But we are always being what we are not, substituting one 'I' after another in place of the trace of real 'I' that we have access to. Trying to feel the pure feeling of 'I' doing this, 'I' saying this, 'I' sitting here, 'I' being negative, and so on, can become sometimes a form of Self-Remembering.

Full Self-Remembering is consciousness of real 'I' which stands above all the 'I's artificially created by life in us. Finally, no one can remember themselves unless they feel that there is something higher than themselves. Unless you feel this, your Self-Remembering will always lead you into False Personality.
