What am i doing here? Why am i in this body?
you’ve been asking those questions for a long time.
Ever since i can remember.
Getting any answers?
Most people i ask are busy, or look at me
sideways and change the subject. Then something
told me to ask and wait.
That “something” was your Intuition.
Then maybe it can answer me. What am i doing
here? And, why am i in this body?
you are discovering what You are not.
What do You mean? i want to discover what i
am, not what i am “not”!
you will discover that too, but trying to discover what-You-are hasn’t
worked very well so far.
How come?
Because what-You-are-not has been blocking the way to the Realization
of who You Really are. you block the way when you ask “what am i doing
here?” because it’s the little “i” asking the question. And by asking, this
“i” has unknowingly put up a wall between you and your goal of finding
the Real You and your Purpose for being here.
i don’t understand.
Don’t worry, I don’t expect you to yet. We will get to it.
The first point is to realize that “i” is the identity that we, as human
beings, have unwittingly adopted. Unfortunately, this adoption has
prevented us from Knowing our True Self.
If i am not my True Self, who am i?
The Real You Is Me, the One you are Listening to Now through your
Intuition.
my Intuition is the Real me?
Not your Intuition, but Its Source.
Why haven’t i discovered this fact sooner?
Because, before now, it hasn’t occurred to you to question who you are.
The “i” asking these questions is the only self you know. Consequently, this
little i’s first instinct when it is told that the Real You is Me is to doubt the
Idea. But doubt doesn’t change the Truth.
doubt doesn’t change what Truth?
The Truth that I Am Your True Identity. More importantly, the Truth
that I Am Permanent and Perfect. And if I Am Permanent and Perfect and
I Am You, You are Permanent and Perfect.
You’re right. i do doubt that. In fact, i
totally reject it!
doubt and rejection are natural reactions because you look to your
imperfect and impermanent world to provide answers that only Truth
can verify.
Why can’t the world provide the answers?
Because the world is a product of your unconscious rejection of the Ideas
of Permanence and Perfection. Not only does this circular thought exclude
Truth, it keeps what you think is an imperfect and impermanent “you” within
its temporary and intrinsically flawed boundary. Think about it. From your
position in what you see as a finite and uncertain world, could you ever accept
that Permanence and Perfection are Real? Or, rather, that there could be an
Infinite Source of Renewal and Replenishment of the world that Is Permanent
and Perfect? Could you pick up from your material existence in the world
that My Timeless Presence has actually been accompanying you through
life, walking ahead of you making the crooked road straight, and Lovingly
Providing for your every need?
No, the world doesn’t tell me that. i haven’t
noticed You there. Actually, i would argue that
if You have been providing for me You haven’t done
a very good job.
As you will come to See, it’s not for Me to push My Self on you. you
have free-will to focus on the world of matter for its own sake and see it as
lacking. But this is why you keep the door to the Consciousness that you
are Really Me securely locked and all My Benefits at bay.
It sounds rather counter-productive. Can’t i
open the door?
you can but you won’t because the wider the door opens the more the
little i disappears.
i don’t want to lose my self. i don’t want to
disappear.
That’s why we must go slowly. Even though you are now curious about
what’s behind the door, your fear of losing your self becomes the gatekeeper
that prevents you from fully opening the door.
Eventually, however, you will push the gatekeeper aside and discover
that your fear was totally unfounded, for the door of your Consciousness
is your own Mind, and It is not scary. Besides, only through It are you able
to discover that I Am your only Hope, in fact, everyone’s only Hope of
lasting Peace, Safety, Health, Prosperity and Happiness.
