Now, when we come in as babies, when we are born, babies...
I can’t say this for sure I guess, because I don’t actually remember what I experienced things like as a baby. But I’ve looked into the eyes of a lot of babies since, and our... our grandson, our little grandbaby, a couple of years ago, he was born, and... looking into his eyes… I’m sure all of you have looked into the eyes of a baby, and there’s that sense of this wide open presence that a baby… a baby just gazes back at us, that sense of wide open presence. And... my sense is that the baby is... is in this place of experiencing as the awareness. They’re experiencing just this wide-open awareness. There is no sense of an “I” for the baby. And developmental psychologists will tell you this, and spiritual teachers in their own way have a different version of this, but it’s pretty commonly understood that newborns don’t have a sense of an “I”. They don’t have a sense of a separate Self even. And this has its downsides. The upside is that the baby tends to have this lovely, wonderful presence that makes all of us enjoy just looking into the eyes of a newborn and a lot of people gravitate to babies for this reason and just adore looking and, ah…. It’s so peaceful looking into the eyes of a baby like this and it’s because they have the… they’re experiencing as this wide-open presence without a separate “I”. They don’t have a sense of an “I” developed yet.
Now, at the same time, when we… as a part of our development, when we form a sense of who we are, who knew that when we think “I”, and... what better way to think about our identity. We could come up with concepts for identity, but at a really fundamental, at the most basic, unconscious level, who we “believe” we are is this “I”. And isn't it interesting that for, essentially all of us, essentially universally, when we access the “I”, when we discover what it is, it’s almost universally, it’s small. It’s way smaller than the full consciousness that we actually have access to in any moment.
