I am "who"

Revised Edition

I asked who I was

I said yes who I am

I asked my answer what

I said yes answer what

 

You ask who you are

You said yes you are who

You ask what you answer

You answer yes answer what

 

Long ago you and I could not be called anything. Long ago it was not me, neither you, nor anyone. Today me and you claim to be what and who. But one day tomorrow I and you are sure know to really you and I what and who.

 هَلْ أَتَى عَلَى الإنْسَانِ حِينٌ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْئًا مَذْكُورًا

"Has it not come to man a time from a period when he (man) was not yet something that could be called (anything)?". Al-Insaan: 1

وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الإنْسَانَ وَنَعْلَمُ مَا تُوَسْوِسُ بِهِ نَفْسُهُ وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ

"... Verily We have created man and We know what is whispered by him, and We are closer to him than his jugular vein." Qaf: 16

Every human being has a question within himself: Who am I, where have I come from, how did I begin my presence, what I am here for, and why I be here. Each self must think about his history, about what he is experiencing now, about his goals and about the possibilities that will happen to him in the future

It could be that self-whisper is the starting process of the individual human being towards his own knowledge, as well as the beginning of a journey to self-knowledge or self-awareness.

Al-Ghazali argues about the following levels or levels of consciousness of the human individual:

1. A person who knows and he knows himself to know;
2. A person who knows but does not know himself knows;
3. A person who doesn't know and he knows he doesn't know; and
4. Someone who does not know and (at the same time) he does not know that he does not know.

 

What level am I at?

At what level are you?
