The answer to the question – “Who Am I?” lies in the revelation via dissolution of the veil of the ego that constitutes the false identity of a person. The egoless awareness or consciousness bares the true or the absolute identity as is and independent of the manifested and relative space-time. This revelation is spiritually described as the “Self Realization” and can also be scientifically described as the state of massless Zero-point (fully dilated space-time) existence (or energy) or universal (cosmic) consciousness.

The practicality, significance, and benefits of the egoless awareness or consciousness are far beyond resolving the personal identity crisis and dissolving related uncertainty and fear. What can be more practical and beneficial than living a liberated life free from the threat of suffering and death hovering over our psyche? To be meaningful and purposeful, our definitions of practicality must mature beyond materialistic and measurable values and convictions.

Since, consciousness reveals the ultimate reality as is, it dissolves or transcends all questions that are mere artifacts of the unconsciousness of the ego. It also resolves the dilemmas of endless series of new questions being generated by the answers infected with the illusions of the ego-identity. All these endless series of questions and answers become irrelevant and dissolved into the enlightenment of consciousness. Even the stress and suffering of time and death dissolve into the eternity of consciousness and One Wholesome existence.

A note of caution, however, is that transcendence beyond questions is not avoidance of questions or playing an ostrich hiding its head in the sand. Transcendence is maturity achieved via living thru the questions until they become insignificant or irrelevant, similar to zooming out the vision to a broader view from a constrained view. Avoidance or ignoring of questions, on the other hand, is a premature declaration of victory by the ego that skillfully avoids transcendence or dissolution into the whole. Such premature avoidance would prohibit transcendence beyond time/evolution and result into irresolvable paradoxical or pseudo answers leading to more and more questions. Transcendence beyond questions is the transcendence beyond ego and time. A premature declaration of the ego to avoid questioning is not transcendence but avoidance, negligence, cowardice, and escapism that cover the doubts and ensuing questions under the rug of the egoism without dissolving them.

In summary, the genuinely realized answer to the question – “Who Am I” is the crucial Wisdom of the Ages that ends all suffering of the psyche (irrespective of the bodily or biological pain that can be controlled via modern medicine) and fulfills life with purpose and meaning. The answer also answers or dissolves many of the ultimate questions regarding the ultimate reality or God or existence. Such realization is the Buddha’s – “App Dipo Bhav” (Be your own light), Nanak’s - “Nij-Ghar” (Self-realization), and Jesus’ – “Selfless love”. It also resolves paradoxes of science and spirituality merging them into One Wholesome Wisdom founded on the universal consciousness, the true identity, of the Self or the Witnesser.
