Do you know who you are?

The wonder of all life – who are you? Isn’t this something everyone wants to know? I know they do not necessarily say it out loud but it is there, behind the scenes – who am I? Is this all there really is? This pool of clay or is there something else? In my case I started about 4 or 5 trying to understand what was what. For some reason it was always in the car – the only other time that stands out was laying on the bed but let’s get back to the car. I tested words I suppose, as in, I just repeated the word say ‘table’ over and over again and pretty soon it lost all meaning and I was in this area of something/nothing which I must admit felt odd in that it was like just a vacant space – there wasn’t anything there. So now to the bed event. I was laying on the bed and thinking back to the previous week at school and I was thinking of heaven and trying to imagine forever. This was interesting – it just blew my mind.

So, who are you? There was a song by The Who some decades ago and the title was Who Are You? except I don’t think they really wanted you to think deeply about who you are. Still it is a start and Sri Ramana Maharshi had a self-realization exercise where you just sit in meditation and ask ‘Who am I?’ Drop it down , wait for a response, drop it down, wait for a response. Do this for as long as you like and repeat it daily probably. I’m not sure how long it will take until you get a response but I do believe you will eventually get a response. TRY = Theos + Rule + You. Of course , Yoda said No try, do or do not do but I think that was another attempt to dissuade you from trying. Still you need to try things to see how it feels, how it works because nothing happens if you do nothing. You need to make an application unto the Lord. Apply the Teachings and keep applying until you get a response, test the response to see if it is real because there are false masters and self-styled gurus who are false. It is interesting to come across them, sometimes, if only to prove they are there. So life is a wondrous mystery and unless you run to it and put your attention on it – as Saint Germain says – how can you know anything without putting your attention on it or without giving it your attention.

You have three magic powers if you like – Qualification, Attention and I think Repetition – you have to repeat things just as the Sun repeats getting up every day and I doubt you are better than the Sun, so repeat whether it be every week , every two days or whatever. Just make a commitment and stick to it, so only commit to the least you are willing to do wholeheartedly. If you keep at it, you will want to do more because that is Life and Oh what a Life!
