The Sense of "I Am"

Today, I was struck once again, that from a sense the peace, serenity and empty fullness of “I am”, I can observe the craziness in my own head and all around me or even experience pain and disability, without getting attached to it.  The real me does not experience these things, they are a product of my body.  The craziness, disability or pain  all seem like a fabrication of my mind which is very real in some ways but also not part of the real me.  The real me, the “I am”, existed before my body and will exist after it passes.
