Knowing The Self

It has been a wonderful day in paradise. I received insight, clarity of thought, and deep understanding. 

I comprehend and better understand ideas that used to frustrate and annoy me. I am willing to accept who I am. 

It is knowing the self.

Most people don’t know who they are. If you ask the average person who he or she is, they will tell you their name. You are not your name- your parents gave you names. You are not your name, job, title, race, creed, or color. Even the body you use is not who you are. Your body is your physical vehicle on your journey through life; it’s not you.

Ninety-six percent of the population is reacting to what happens to them. They are not proactive, not accepting responsibility for what's happening around them and their choices. No one truly desires to ask, "Who am I?" and search for the answers. If they did, they would be on their way to happiness and fulfilling their purpose for existing. 

We live daily on three aspects of our humanity: spiritual beings with intellect and physical bodies. 

We lack awareness and understanding and reduce ourselves to focus on living our physical experiences. We don’t know that fear, not logic or reason, is why we continuously choose negative experiences. We don’t live our lives; we react to the circumstances and situations we create and then deny we chose them as our experiences.

We identify with our possessions because we are taught to gather, collect, and accumulate things. We are obsessed with claiming, identifying, and collecting possessions. Have you ever noticed how we claim and identify with everything? When talking to others, everything you talk about is mine. It’s my house and car, doctor, dentist, mechanic, maid, wife, lover, partner, etc.? 

One can learn much about oneself and others by how they care for the gifts they are given. You were given the gifts of life and free will to choose every experience you have. You were given a mind, body, soul, world, and the universe;

I have always adopted the mindset to BE my best, not better than anyone. Being the best I can be allows me to be my best in service to others because I and any other person are the same. We are created of Love and Light. Whenever I face a challenge, difficulty, or what I might initially call a problem, I ask myself, “What would Love choose now? At this moment, I am reminded that I am love, and l decide to express the highest aspect of my humanity.
