Adyashanti

 ''We have to see that we’re not the image we hold in our minds of ourselves, or the thoughts we have about ourselves–good, bad or indifferent–that we’re not all the various ways we identify ourselves. So in spirituality the Way of Subtraction is finding out who we are by finding out who we are not. Sort of ironically, when we find out that we’re not anything we thought we were, or were taught we were, what we are shines of its own accord, it sort of leaps forward into our consciousness.''
