Well, what is your "I?" Is it something gets lost along the evolutionary pathway? What is it?
Is it a state of partial consciousness that eventually opens out into a state of full consciousness? And then that full consciousness opens out again into a larger consciousness, etc.?
This is Q'uo from April 14, 2006.
I'm presenting this out of context, but the embolden line is worth considering. Long story short, the pathway there runs though the heart, according to that text.
Here's another thought from the same session.
So, maybe the I you dream is mere costumery which will eventually wear away revealing that what your I is is what exists around you an within you as you perceive and accept it?
Perhaps a fair answer to your query is that you stop thinking in terms of I when your sense of inner and outer are no longer experienced as separated things, but are both equally regarded as movements of energy along lines of force revealing this or that of yourself to yourself?

Quote:What is the “I” of a person and of a soul? When consciousness itself is the “I” of you, then shall your heart be free to open and blossom and radiate infinitely. And from that perspective alone shall you at last be able to march from the sanctum sanctorum, fed and strengthened, in full knowledge of who you are for the first time and ready at last to do serious work upon balancing the wisdom which you offered to yourself as a gift and as catalyst.

Quote:We speak as if there is a “we” and a “they,” a “you” and an “I.” And this is not precisely correct. For there is an ever-flowing movement of energy along lines of force which are created by your thoughts and feelings rather than there being a dynamic of two.
You are experiencing ways of structuring the self so that it may be known to the self. We do not wish to take away every structure of your thoughts in an instant. Rather, we would that you would conceive of this journey as a dance. It is a dance in which your movements express a gradual increase in your ability to be naked and without personality.
In the privacy and the intimacy of your silent meditation, allow all to fall away as it will and sit with that which is left until it, too, falls away. And then sit with that which is left until it, too, falls away. Repeat this process until when you sit, you simply sit.
