Who Are YOU?




In the immortal words of Pete Townsend:

            Who are you? Who, who, who, who?


The science of CSI might analyze your DNA, hair, blood, shoe treads, fabric fibers, etc. with all kinds of chemicals, scopes, spectrums of light to discover your identity.

But think about it....without benefit of any of that science:

Who are you?
Really!
                        
Are you your name .... your profession? 

The plumber ... the artist ... the CEO?          

Is your 'who' tied up in your 'what' identity:

        The funny guy....the nasty neighbor...      
        ...the realtor lady....the son of so and so...
            ...the nice guy.......the smart person?

What? ... Who?

Ernest Holmes says in THE SCIENCE OF MIND:

There is a Universal Mind, Spirit, Intelligence, that is the origin of everything:  It is First Cause. It is God. This Universal life and Energy finds an outlet in and through all that is energized, and through everything that lives.

God finds an outlet in and through all that is energized, through everything that lives.

That’s YOU:  you are that outlet/avenue through which the Source of all, that Infinite Wisdom must come out and express Itself, reveal Itself, BE Itself ... 

It is in you.

It wants to do it through you, it needs to do it...
           
            ...creative energy is not to be contained
                             
It must become!

I challenge you to be transformed and used!

Emerson said:
Every man is a doorway through which the Infinite passes into the finite, through which God becomes man, through which the Universal becomes individual.

You are the doorway, you are the outlet, you are the individual that the Universal becomes....

                                   YOU

...that Creative Energy, the Source of All, the Divine Intelligence - whatever you want to call It....
(it doesn’t matter, God doesn’t care the term)

It is within YOU

There is a creative energy, the Creative Energy, within you every moment of every day....

It is that divine sparkas Robert Browning called it -
that wants to experience life through you, for you, as you, with you.

*Our only job is to allow it to reveal Itself*

Because when we do, a greater and more prosperous, loving experience is present!

That’s why you are here and what you are here to do with who you are. And when you are to do this is Now.

And what do you do this with?


YOUR MIND

Your mind is an outlet through which the creative intelligence of the universe seeks fulfillment. 
                                           Dr. Ernest Holmes


The Universal Creative Intelligence, ever-present and ever-available within...
                       ...seeks fulfillment through you...
                                       ...using your Mind....
                                              ...your thoughts...
                                            ...your beliefs.

Jesus of Nazareth spoke of it over two thousand years ago:  The kingdom of Heaven is within...
                  
The Kingdom of Heaven...
                                       God...
                                                the Source...
                           the Divine Intelligence is within.

He also said:  It is done unto you as you believe.

I repeat, it is done unto you as you believe. 

Get it?

And how does that make you feel?
                                   
                                      ...responsible?
                                      ...empowered?

 
Beliefs have consequences

Your mind, as Dr. Holmes said, is the feeding ground for those beliefs.

                So, what are you feeding your Mind?

Which who’s, what what’s and which when’s are you feeding your mind about:  
                                       your bank account...
                  ...the quality of your relationships?
                                                  ...your health?
                    ...your work / creative expression?

Understand that God may be the Great Original Author....
                               
                   ....but you get to write your story.

Be it as Xena the Warrior Princess, Jay Gatsby, Atticus Finch, Jane Eyre or whatever - you get to pick the character traits.

            You get to decide whether life is to be lived like a character in a Stephen King novel or a Dan Brown conspiracy-filled book or a story by John Steinbeck, whatever...


It is you who gets to write the story...
                                                         
And it is done through your thoughts and beliefs of who and what you are, the words you say to Yourself in yourself as yourself.


14th Century Christian mystic Meister Eckhart wrote:

God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made...and let God be God in you.


In you....to use the power the Creative Intelligence / the Original Author gave you:

               ...to stop the bullet of pain, disappointment, fear, anxiety or worry and replace it with laughter, faith, understanding, love and peace

                  ...to reach tall buildings by forming mental patterns of prosperity, passion, vibrancy, compassion and fulfilling creativity

      ... mental patterns that turn into mental habits / beliefs which then automatically reproduce themselves into your experience.

You don’t have to change WHO YOU ARE - 
you already are It!

You don’t have to will, wish, hope, long for, or even pray for it to be so, for as you believe, so shall you conceive and receive.

You are a creative being here to use a creative power operating through, for and upon your beliefs - your who’s and what’s.


You may be thinking to yourself, “that’s all nice but sometimes I don’t feel worthy...I've made some bad choices, brought up in a lousy environment, etc.
  
I tell you that matters not.
The past is done.

You will always be worthy 
because God doesn’t make junk...

People make junk


Carl Jung wrote:

Even the enlightened person remains what he is, and is never more than his own limited ego before the One who dwells within him, whose form has no knowable boundaries, who encompasses him on all sides, fathomless as the abysms of the earth and vast as the sky.

Put your human ego, your bloated nothingness (thank you Emerson) aside and get back to Who You are....     
            
It does not matter where you think you were, who you think you were or what you think you were...


There is a great story about a four-year-old child asked to be alone in the nursery for a moment with her newborn sibling. After some trepidation, the parents agreed but switched on the nursery intercom just to be safe. They left the room and went to where one of the speakers were for the baby intercom system and listened. Back in the room, the older sister gently leaned over the newborn and whispered, almost like a prayer, "Baby, help me remember what God is like. I'm beginning to forget."


It's time to Reconnect to Source....

1. Walk dog, listen to Mozart, hang out somewhere peaceful / comfortable...change the physiology of 'conflict'

2. Quiet the Mind from hustle and bustle, noise and events of the day ... or problems or challenges - stop to listen to your heart and focus on

The Voice inside
not the voices

3. How recognize voice?

            It’s language: 
                 
Free of problem, conflict, story
                             
Imbued with peace, beauty, joy, 
light, life, wisdom, power
                   
Is constructive and never destructive!


Plug in to the outlet of the Truth

                                   
Emerson again:

            Oh Man! There is no planet sun or star could hold you, if you but knew what you are.

And who you are ...


You are the face of God
I hold you in my heart
You are a part of me
You are the face of God
                                                         (Karen Drucker)

That’s who you are, that’s what you are, that’s why you are.....and you are here to do and be IT right now.

Be empowered by embodying 
the consciousness of your Divine Self
           
It guides you at all times ... not just on special occasions

The Power for Good is in your Mind and heart, so take control of your thought habits - your beliefs and use them for powerfulness...

                  ...then you will create the best life, light, love, joy, beauty, peace, power, and wisdom in your experiences...
              
             You can.....that’s who you are.     

The God in me sees the God in you....Namaste!
