You are always the SELF.
Every minute of every day you are the self.
But there are clouds fleeting by (in your mind).
There might be thunder. lightening, hail and high winds: You know what? The SUN is always shining on the other side.
There is no need to search for the SELF, nor is there a need to remember the SELF.
If you can see through the clouds of the mind for what they are, the SELF will-spontaneously shine through.
