Interesting article. Bronte's comments in italics. The article states: 1. Before you learned the language that you now think in, the background of awareness was there. So was the essence of my individuality, which is beyond language. 2. Then you learned the word I in your language. The concept of "I" existed before I learned the word for it. 3. Your body was given a name, and when people saw that body they said There goes John, (or Mike, or Jane, or Julie, or Kumar or Radha) or whatever name that they gave your body. Thus the idea I am John, I am this body arose. I remember lying in my crib as an infant, before I knew how to speak, very much aware of my individual I-ness. I kept wishing those people would come pick me up so I could get out of that boring crib with the string of boring doodads hanging over the top of it. 4. You existed as the background of awareness before that I thought arose. As did we all. But the I thought arose long before birth in any body. It was the first impulse of creative divine mind. 5. The thought calling its self I is an imposter self. Not so. We are both. Small self and big self. No imposters. Only suffering when we forget the big-self part. 6. Because you existed as the background of awareness before you learned the language that produced the thoughts you now think in, you can easily see that the I thought is an imposter. I also existed, prior to language, as an immortal individual. Language did not birth my personhood, although it helped to dress it. The concept that "language produces the thoughts you think in" is true only for regurgitated thinking, not for original thinking. Original thought is born of the spirit, the individual ego in communion with universal ego. Original thought is "pre-language." 7. All thoughts are opposed to your real nature. Far from it. Only limiting thoughts are opposed to our real nature. Original thoughts, coming from deep within the Source, express it. 8. You know that thoughts are not part of your true nature because you had to learn them. Not the original ones. They are born of spirit._,___
