The only way to know your true Self is to stop being your false self. You already are your true Self; therefore, you must take away all that is inhibiting the realization and revelation of this true Self. And that would be 'thought'.
The only way to stop being your false self is to be conscious of what your false self is and there are many who are not.
I AM (Spirit = true Self) that I am (Mind = false self).
The mind (and all is mind) is called the false self because it is transitory. Anything that appears and then disappears is referred to as the false self. Effect or what is visible is considered False. What is true and eternal is Cause. Cause is invisible to effect. Even though everything, including our existence depends on and comes out of consciousness, we do not know what consciousness is, because it is invisible. The only thing, as mind/effect that we know about consciousness/Cause, at this point in our evolution is that it IS. Period. Consciousness is. I am. I am conscious. I exist.
Consciousness is Spirit and Soul is Awareness. Awareness is the activity of Consciousness. Love is the activity of Intelligence.
To use an analogy to explain life, I could say, I (Spirit) Am (Soul) gave birth to a son born in my image. It has a conscious mind (I) and the activity of that conscious mind which is the subconscious mind (Am). I am self-aware, my son is self-aware. I am consciously aware. Conscious Awareness. I am conscious of being Awareness.
In order to stop being the false self that suffers its disconnect to its truth, you must stop putting your attention in thought that you create with your mind consciousness which is nothing but illusion and be mentally still so that you become present in your own Awareness that is both the subconscious and the door to Soul which is your true Awareness being directed by your true Consciousness. This is how the two "I am's" merge and become one. Through Awareness - as Soul. This is how the mind realizes its true Self - it becomes conscious of it once its consciousness is no longer lost in its own mind created thoughts.
In this way one crosses from being IN the moment to Being the moment itself. There is no longer two I am's but One.
Basically, one's mind is held open in a single open-ended thought that is akin to being aware rather than thinking. If you are not familiar with the two states of being - thinking and be aware, then become familiar with them now. Being aware if being in the moment without judgment of it and ask Tolle says - every thought is a judgment. So, judge not and simply stay in the moment aware. You will be surprised how well you live without judging everything.
In this meditative manner the conscious (attention) and subconscious (Awareness) merge as one - I am. This 'one (I am) merges with the true one I AM. One attention (mind consciousness) falls into one's awareness that is directed by ones true Consciousness. One's mind starts to commune with Spirit and receive intuition while and experiencing the physical world (its creation) through the senses simultaneously.
As soon as this state of being is held effortlessly, and there is no personal sense of ‘you’ holding it, you have achieved Self Realization.
