Eckhart Tolle teaches the meditation practice of asking yourself "Who am I?" and then sitting in the silence that follows. The answer isn't something you think through. It emerges in the stillness when your mind stops.
As you may know, the question that is sometimes asked, "Who am I?" and make it into a meditation. So, "Who am I?" Now, you can't go into your thinking, "Hmm, let's see." No, you ask, "Who am I?" and then you experience the silent space after those words. The true answer is to be found in the stillness that follows the question. That's the answer. Who am I?
