Who Are You?

Say to someone, "Tell me about yourself," and what you are most likely to get is a description of their body, their job, perhaps their hobbies, likes and dislikes. But is this who we really are? All of these descriptions are about something outside, something other than the true Self. We have become so distracted by the world and its many facets that we forget, or rather choose not to look at who we really are. The best way to begin this is by defining what we are not!! We are not a body. We are not a job. We are not an illness. We are not a socio-economic status. We are not a parent or child. We are not a skin color. We are not an ethnicity. We are not a religion. We are not even our beliefs. All of these things describe something outside the Self. But if none of these things truly describe us...

How do we find who we are?

The answer is simple. We must look within. We must quiet our minds and our lives of the chaos around us and connect to the essence we are. Take a look at your life. Is there a disorder or chaos in any part of it? Perhaps every part of it? If so, know that you are giving in to an external focus rather than being centered in your true essence. To connect with this essence, we must be willing to enter the Silence of our Soul.There are many ways in which we can choose to enter the Silence, yet first we must overcome our fear of being alone with ourselves.

It is our fear of our thoughts about who we are, what life is and our judgments of others that keeps from entering the Silence of our Soul. When we give up these fears we discover that we were only frightened of our own thoughts. It is only by entering the Silence of the Soul that we can truly connect to the Tree of Life and fill ourselves with the Light.Let us dedicate some time each day to enter the Silence of our Soul and to connect with our true essence of Light. As we each does this, watch how Peace and Order begin to pervade our lives.

This is definitely one of such opportunities. Kindly spread the message
