Who am I ~ I Really Want to Know

I once dreamt I was an Elk

As the elk I was watching the world from the highest hill, overlooking all, with stamina to outlast time. Then I awoke as me, merely human. Am I that magnificent elk or this man? Who am I? What does an elk dream of?

Our ignorance keeps us believing we are absolute. Separate individuals all independently forging a life with so many other individuals. Am I my job, my family, or a conglomerate of all those personas to be put on and taken off as needed?

The Pillar

Who am I? Sometimes, I feel like a pillar in the middle of a hurricane, with humanity’s madness swirling around me. It’s then that I’m quietly reminded by Spirit ~ “Be the Pillar”

To be the pillar requires a shift, a change in focus. I have always enjoyed taking another look at my life, a life review of sorts. Trying to examine it from a greater perspective. Looking for the wonder, the miracle unfolding. It may not be easy, but it sometimes reveals the clues to finding my direction or future path.

We are all question marks, and until we begin to peel away the layers to find an identity that is our true self, we may wander aimlessly. In our self-realized search, if we go far enough, we will find a non-self that includes All and embraces love. Now we can cast off the shackles of ignorance. Releasing the lower aspects of ourselves like jealousy, hatred, and envy.

When we eventually discover our True Being

Will we be able to say “I See You” like in the movie Avatar? I see you for the light that you indeed are, an incarnation, embodiment, or manifestation of a person, and we now genuinely know each other as interconnected beings, part of a greater whole.

Oh-No!! two movie references in one post, am I going to the dogs… or… am I possibly the Dog?

I am reminded of a quote from one of the most celebrated mystics of all time -Rumi

“You are not just a drop in the ocean, you are the mighty ocean in the drop”

-Rumi

Who Am I? We are all divine with extraordinary gifts and abilities to share with the universe.

No matter what our life experiences are or how we feel about ourselves, we all have something special to offer the world. We each have our own unique talents and abilities that make us who we are. It is important to remember that we are all divine beings with great potential. When we connect with our true selves, we can tap into this power and create amazing things.

The blog section of “Who Am I” is a place to explore our spirituality and connect with our higher selves. Here we can share our experiences and insights, and learn from others who are on the same journey. We can also find support and guidance as we navigate life’s challenges.

We share the responsibilities of sculpting our souls into loving light. In the Light, we are all the Elk, attentive sentries outlasting time.
