The truth is - all we need is already within us. The challenge is we are still trying to find love, acceptance, and freedom in our external world. Until we learn to go within to find our authentic self, we will go without.
When you are your true self you are in a state of being that permeates every fiber of your mind, body and spirit and radiates all around you. It is the alchemist within you, the genie within you, the golden goose, it is the priceless treasure.
We need to constantly re-mind ourselves, and each other, so that we can re-member together who we really are. We need to feed our mind, heart and body with the thoughts, emotions, feelings and spiritual energy that will fill us with the wealth from our soul.
We are transitioning from being a society driven by our mind (head), separated from our emotions (gut), to a society built on feelings (heart), which are a balance and fusion of both. When we live and love from the heart, we are in balance with ourselves, each other, and the earth. Then we see the magic...
The ancients understood that our wisdom is in our heart. The irony is, in order to try and avoid painful feelings, we try to disconnect from our heart by blocking our feelings. We use our mind to protect our heart, and yet it is only in our mind that our heart can be broken.
We have been conditioned to be afraid of living from our heart, to mistrust our heart. That is because our society has been built on fear and control and when we live from our heart, the source of true wisdom we are too powerful for anyone to control.
Who You Really Are
Imagine a world in which all your wishes are granted
Where all your desires are from seeds carefully planted
Love flows from your heart and expands across the land
All your questions have been answered
You now understand there is no direction that you cannot take if you choose
The universe is all yours so now you have nothing to lose
You have created the vision that has become the new frontier
Now all the dreams you ever dreamed manifest for you here
As you look out once more from the point of no return
You remember with everything that there is nothing to learn
You chose to forget that which your soul always knows
That you are the light into which all of creation flows
The greatest celebration suddenly and vividly breaks out in bliss
There has never been the feeling or a moment quite like this
The entirety of totality that came to exist from the brightest star
Has come to be with you as you accept and BE who you really are
When I say "Be who you really are" very often people ask, "What does that really mean?" It means be your authentic self. The challenge is that most people have forgotten who that is. They spend their lives trying to be who they think other people want them to be, and end up being the proverbial 'candle in the wind.' To find your authentic self, ask yourself some powerful questions:
What am I passionate about?
How do I like to be in the world? Are you outgoing or ingoing?
Do you like to be on your own, and be creative in terms of writing or art? Or do you like to be creative in conversation, and be gregarious?
You know who you really are at the core of your being. Take some time think about those things and put them into a vehicle that you are passionate about, a way to express your unique creativity in the world.
That is who you really are. That unique creative expression that is like nobody else, no other soul. Just like there is no one snowflake the same as the other, there is no soul on earth that is exactly the same as you. You are unique. Not better, but special. Just as we're all special. So, I dare you to be who you really are. That would be wise!
There is more than hope for a better world. That world is emerging right now. Your life is either an example or a warning, so lead by example. Take what you remember here and share it with as many souls as you can.
Share your wealth - your unique creative gifts and energy - with the world, and you will experience peace and prosperity.
This is just a reminder to be who you are wherever you are in all things. This was written by Stephen Edwards (a philanthropist and entrepreneur).
