Who are you?

When you are on this planet, that is probably a good question to ask. There appear to be a lot of different types of people and it may be worth finding out just who you are. Why is this important? If you know who you are, then you have an idea how to act. Or perhaps you can deduce who you are from how you act? That may not be wise as on this planet, the majority of people act in similar ways and when you start out here, you learn by copying and so you may be copying the way the world is and of course schools will only teach you as they have been told to teach you. As you grow and learn for yourself, you may start to understand, you are a bit different to other people who are your friends or siblings.

This is where things get interesting. Your siblings possibly feel the difference and that can stir things up a bit. You may also find that a sibling may be thinking along the same terms, though the others may not. Be not afraid to move along your own path as you will in the end anyway. Now you can start to find out who you are. Ramana Maharshi had a practice of meditation where you would sit down in the deepest meditation you could get to and quest – Who am i? Then wait for a response. Pose the question again and wait. Possibly do this for a half hour each day or whatever suits your need.

So getting back to the start. Who are you? You were created way, way back when, possibly even before the dawn of time. At that time, you knew who you were as you were made in the image of God. There was no question. God created you, so you were his son or daughter. Then, next stop – planet earth and it was a beautiful place, the plants were tall and majestic, the colours were fantastic and you created out of the universe, whatever you required. Everything was idyllic and much better than it is now. There were no mosquitos, flies, foul weather, volcanoes and the list goes on. In short there were no problems, no annoyances, no irritations. Everything was blissful and joyful.

If you were made in God’s image and you were like God and you had the same abilities as God – then how is it you are no longer like that? You took your attention off God and followed a thought or feeling outside of the hallowed circle of God. Now you want to get back to God. Let go of whatever you find  in yourself that is not like God. Put it into the violet flame and let it go. After so long we seem to not let things go or some things are hard to let go of. Still, push it into the flame as best you can every time it comes up. Let it go and let God in since God can only come in if there is some room and you need to invite God in as you have free will.
