WHO ARE YOU REALLY?
Before we can become who we want to be, we have to be who we really are.
We have a personality, a self-image, and we can refine it and change it as we move through life but that’s not the totality of who we really are. Just as it is important to develop, refine, and shape ourselves, it is important to give ourselves permission to open up and let our true nature reveal and express itself, to shine forth, to give abundantly, to create, to be.
At our core we are by definition a deep spiritual state of actuality, of presence.
Take a moment to pause and reflect on who you really are. You are a luminous being, an energy field of vast potential. At the very core of your being you are a flame, you are an energy field, tangible spiritual substance. You are powerful beyond measure, and that power is infinitely more accessible as you align yourself with timeless universal principles and the inner spark that is God. At any given moment you have the ability to tap into multiple possibilities and opportunities. You are one with the great universal presence, you are unlimited in your ability to effect positive change and to uplift and inspire those around you in ever-widening circles.
Years ago I remember reading a quote from Saint Germain about how he had traveled throughout cosmos and witnessed such wonders in the wide universe, and yet to him still the most wondrous site to behold was the threefold flame in the heart of man. God is All in all, and the allness of God is contained in man as a spark of awesome power and potential. What unlocks that potential? Could it be as simple as our belief and acceptance of it?
We need to first accept and embrace our true essential nature and then allow ourselves to be who we really are and dispense with our self-limiting beliefs. We are all unique in our expression of that God identity, each one manifesting different and beautiful aspects of the totality of God’s universal presence.
It is interesting to see how often we look outside of ourselves rather than within ourselves to find our greater potential and yet all the while it is right inside our hearts.
You are a co-creator with God. Every moment of every day you are re-creating yourself and the world around you. It is good to keep in mind that we can constantly refine the image we have of ourselves and the world around us so that our energy can flow into the perfect matrix that we are holding.
I love this beautiful quote from Mary Anne Williamson:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, «Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?»
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us. It’s in everyone, and if we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
We always want to maintain the awareness that all the raw material we need is right inside of us and everywhere around us waiting to be formed by the words we speak. This raw material is the all-pervading universal mind substance, the unlimited creative energy that God has provided for us so that we might become co-creators with him.
We have forgotten who we really are and so our true quest and purpose is to remember these things, to remind ourselves that we are “God in manifestation.” We can choose to look within and find our true inner voice, the God quality and talents that are uniquely ours and then we can turn and help others to do the same. Together we comprise a tremendous force for good on this planet and it is imperative that we help one another to remember these things. It is all too easy to forget and to buy into the overlay of condemnation that is heaped upon us from an early age, by our parents, teachers, co-workers etc.
EXERCISE IN SPEAKING TO THE SOUL WITH COMPLIMENTS / WITH SINCERITY / SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO THE SOUL!
This is an exercise I began to incorporate early on in the prayer vigils where we would turn to the person next to us and give and receive compliments. This can be very hard for some people for it forces us into a place of true authenticity. It is always a good thing to remember that when we express appreciation to others and gratitude for their indwelling God potential, we are helping to multiply this within them. You never know when the seed you plant in another will grow into a firm internal realization that will produce magnificent results in that person’s life.
THE BEAUTY I SEE IN YOU IS!
In a group setting have everyone pause and turn to anyone next to them. This is an exercise in giving and receiving; some people find it easier to give a compliment than to receive one. Simply take turns looking genuinely into the other person’s eyes and say, “The beauty I see in you is!” and let the other person know what you see and how you feel. Even if you have never seen this person before in your life, you will have a sense of his or her God qualities. Let that person feel what is in your heart and how you feel about him or her, and when it is your turn to receive compliments, practice being a gracious receiver. Remember to thank one another for being so genuine and open.
Practice giving and receiving: it is important to be a generous giver as well as an excellent receiver.
The following is a dictation delivered by Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva on July 5, 1991.
\This is a Key teaching on the projection of worthlessness on the evolutions of earth and is definitely a must read for everyone. It is because of what is taught here that we need to be so kind to one another and helpful in pointing out the true nature of our God reality. The fact that souls are giving up for want of this and committing spiritual suicide through “the Denial of Self-Worth” is a very sobering thought.
"…To deny self-worth, even if thou be a hardened sinner, is to deny me. He that denieth me has already self-denied himself and placed himself outside of my reach. Free will is the law of all octaves. Therefore, the individual who does so affirm does actually affirm this in defiance of me, in rebellion and anger against me. Affirming the not-self as a lesser god, that one does truly sever the tie [to me]. There is no greater self-denial that leads to annihilation than the affirmation of the absence of self-worth.
Is not the self I have given thee in the Beginning worth that self that is God? [“Yes”] I have given you that self that is the seat of identity and it is myself mirrored in you, for ye are made in the image and likeness of the Son of God that I AM, which image I did send forth from the point of the I AM THAT I AM.
…There is a sinister force out of Death and Hell that is conveyed electromagnetically through all those who serve Darkness. That consciousness is the steady vibration of the denial of selfhood. This, beloved, you must know as a most pernicious force of Evil that does bring about the demise of many.
…Bind the consciousness of the denial of self-worth that says, “I am not worthy.” I AM is the name of God. To say this is to say, “God is not worthy. God in me is not worthy. I am worthless.” When you are worthless and so say it, beloved, you have denied all God within you.
…I pray, then, and I send the call to you who dwell in this octave to understand that it is this point of the sinister message of the false hierarchies of fallen ones that you must go after for the binding of the entire planetary momentum of this sounding of a sound of God-denial that does pass like radio waves through all, though they cannot hear or sense it.
For, beloved, this vibration, this wavelength is the best-kept secret of Lucifer, of Satan and of the sinister force.
…I have come this day, surrounded by ring upon ring of angels of Light, to personally deliver this message to you and this key. Understand that every other derangement of mind and schism of the psyche and all of the problems that are dealt with one by one can be traced back to that moment when the individual did deny the worth of God and the worth of the True Self, which is God within himself. The fallen ones have convinced the individual that the lower self has nothing to do with the Great God Self, that it is sinner beyond sin, beyond forgiveness, beyond repentance. Nothing, and no one, is beyond hope, beloved. But the one who desires to be saved must ask to be saved. Do you understand how many get beyond the point of desiring or asking and therefore are beyond the pale of the reach of those of the higher octaves who may descend no lower than the etheric plane?
…The argument arises in the minds of many people: Why cannot God save that one? I tell you I have already saved that one by placing myself within him as the divine spark, as the soul that is the image and likeness of myself. If, by the free will I gave, the individual will deny all of this and allow that Light to be consumed by Darkness, then only the Mediator can save.
Do not, then, enter into that fallacy again that I do not need you to save these souls, for I tell you this day that I do need you!"
On February 17, 1991, beloved Helios said:
“Know that your prayers may invoke the intercession of angelic hosts for the saving of many souls who at the end of an age could be lost – for they have lost their divine spark and their divine momentum, yet they are not evil per se. And that call, that intercession for the saving of souls can result in the balancing of your karma and your victory. Heroic deeds are in order but prayer is the greatest heroism in this day.”
Our potential capabilities with regard to directing energy through prayer in the spoken word, the all-power of God, are enormous.Once again remember your true divine potential and the responsibility we all bear knowing that life is suffering and that so much can be done to alleviate these burdens through prayer: “Prayer is the greatest heroism in this day.”
I find it interesting in this message to hear that when individuals sink to the point where they totally deny their own self-worth, in that moment only the mediator can save. Who do you think that mediator is? That mediator is you! That mediator is Christ in you, and the compassionate words spoken from your mouth that can uplift and inspire that one. To inspire means to breathe life into another, to give another person a positive spin and a reminder that God is in that one, the divine spark has been placed there which creates inner divinity.
Given this understanding, what then could be more important than to continually affirm that oneness and that true inner God reality, to find our voice, our virtue, our own shining inner qualities and then to turn and help others to do the same.
To be truly affirming is to communicate to people their worth and potential so clearly that they will eventually come to see it in themselves. Just imagine what would happen if this spirit of authentic communication were to take hold in our culture and society: the transformation in our world would be nothing short of miraculous.
The principle of unity is to be aware that we are all one regardless of our outer personality and our emotional and intellectual programming. Whether we agree or not when it comes to theology or dogmatic religious beliefs or which path is “the right path” is irrelevant.
There can be no subject-object relationship here, no duality, no you and God. God realization is the most natural thing there is. The amazing and incomprehensible fact is not that you can become conscious of God but that you are not conscious of God because God is everywhere and everything.
Namaste – I honor the place in you where the entire universe dwells, the place in you that is of love, of light, of peace and of truth. And when you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there we are one.
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE?
Faith, conviction, and deep inner knowing all result from an awareness of our true sense of self as Christ in God.
Do you really believe that we can turn back the darkness in the earth? This is an important question because our belief in our divine self is everything!! We create our reality daily with our thoughts and if we believe in ourselves and in our oneness with the infinite presence of God, we tap into the tremendous unlimited ability of God to create a very wonderful reality. We can’t just engage in positive thinking which becomes a mask for our doubts and fears, we must continually reinforce our belief that we are divine by nature, we are pure, holy and limitless because our God is pure, holy and limitless.
In other words: Don’t just think you can. Know you can! Don’t just think you are. Know you are!
