Re: What am I?
Namaste deafAncient,
The sense of awareness is there because you are That (Consciousness). Senses are created with the defect that that can sense only outward i.e. what it is not. The problem in sensing Oneself is that "I" is trying to sense "I" i.e. Itself/myself and for that the senses are not designed. That is why the Upanishads say, "From where the mind turns back" (Kena Upanishad). Mind is the king of all sense-organs i.e. all organs reside in and are dependent on mind. So, the sense organs cannot sense the Self.
Actually, the real spiritual journey starts with shutting off the noises gathered and created by our sense organs by going within ourselves ... staying within the peace within and enjoying It. That way, spiritually, you have one thing in advantage i.e. noises won't be able to disturb you as much as they do to common people. I think shutting off noises would be much easier for you and therefore, it should be easier to meditate.
