Soy lo que soy y soy lo que no soy
These simple words, in Spanish, point to a profound truth: the illusory nature of the separate self and the ever-present consciousness that is our true identity.
In the dance of duality, opposites arise: light and darkness, fullness and emptiness, self and other. However, these apparent polarities are just waves in the ocean of consciousness, temporary forms that come and go in the vast unchanging expanse.
By recognizing that we are both the wave and the ocean, the witness and the witnessed, we open ourselves to the freedom that is our birthright. We see through the veil of separation and awaken to the unity underlying all experience.
At the same time, this phrase acknowledges that we are not defined solely by our visible traits and actions but also by our invisible qualities, contradictions, and vast potential.
As Walt Whitman wrote, "I contain multitudes." We are both the drop and the ocean, the current self and the evolving future self.
Quantum physics and neuroscience confirm this understanding, revealing that the fundamental nature of reality is fluid and that our brains are continuously reshaping.
Spiritually, non-dual traditions such as Advaita Vedanta and Zen Buddhism have long pointed to the illusory nature of the separate self and the liberating truth of our interconnectedness.
"Soy lo que soy y soy lo que no soy" (I am what I am, and I am what I am not) is thus a powerful indicator of our true nature and an invitation to embark on the greatest adventure of all: the journey towards awakening to who and what we truly are.
This is the invitation of The Cool Soul: to embark on a journey of self-discovery, to question our assumptions about who we are, and to recognize the limitless potential that resides within us.
