How do you work out who you really are when there are so many voices from the world around you telling you who THEY think you should be?
We all are unique beings with our own wonderful gifts that we each have to offer, but we sometimes struggle to realize this.
The best way to really connect with your true, authentic self is by finding some peace from all the voices of influence in our world, both the world outside and the world inside our own heads, and simply sit in silence.
This peaceful place of internal quiet is most easily found through the practice of meditation.
By practicing meditation you allow time for your usual noisy, distracted inner world to become still, making room for your authentic self to be heard.
By giving yourself this time to connect with your real, authentic self, you can start to live the life that only you can live. Life choices you have to make become clearer and you get real clarity about your life’s true purpose.
Meditation can change your life. I guarantee it.

William Blake personified the false ego as Urizen. I practice zazen and am presently making comparisons between Buddhism and Blake.
Good luck with your path Simon (from the other side of the world.)
