Who/What Am I?
In order to find out who we truly are, we must first turn our back on who we think we are.
The meaning of “who we truly are” is to some degree, ineffable. It is also open to interpretation and so there is no single correct answer, not that can be expressed through words anyhow. My interpretation, in the written word, would look something like this… Who/What we truly are is a physical expression of the creativity of love that provides a medium through which the creators may play here on earth, for lets be honest, what really is the point of the human experience on this floating sphere – that will someday cease to exist – if not for the pure joy of play and the love of creativity? Maybe the almighty gods/creators do things just for shits and gigs as well… Haha, for some reason I love the idea of that.
Have you ever stopped and thought about the human species unquenchable thirst for tangibility?
Why? Why must we know the answer? Why must there be an answer? Must there?
Did we always have such a lust for reason, information, fact and “truth”? Or is this the result of our immigration from the present moment into time as a destination, past and future… What happened in our past? What happens in our future?
It doesn’t matter.
Who we think we are, is the manifestation of our past experiences. We think that we are good at some things and bad at others, we think that some things are good and some things are bad, the problem with this is that by allowing these thoughts to govern us, we allow them to set the parameters of who we think we are and what we think we can achieve in our lives.
Perhaps the only real answer to who we truly are lies in our immediate present. The Now.
The Power Of Now, by Eckhart Tolle, is a phenomenal read, I highly recommend it. In a world governed by time and thought, his message comes as a timely reminder that we are on a fast track to self-annihilation should we not learn to seperate ourselves from our thoughts and return to our truth. I’ll let him explain…
Hot tip: Buy yourself a copy, don’t borrow one, you’ll want to refer back to it from time to time… or should I say, from current moment to current moment.
It is an interesting topic, one that we all have our own answer to and one that is subject to change as we grow wiser and more enlightened with every passing moment of the present.
Questions are the birthplace of many forms of art and are best answered in a state of no-mind, where past and future have no power of influence and inspired insight/action may take place unhindered.
Enjoy the present of the present.
