Who Am I?

There are two things that we need to figure out to have a life of joy, peace, love, and abundance. Firstly, we need to ask the question, and know the answer to, “Who am I? Secondly, we need to find out “How does the world work?”
The vast majority of people simply do not know the answer to these two questions. Very few people know who they are, and very few have a programme for living in this dysfunctional world. They don’t even realise that one does need answers to these two questions, and moreover, they don’t even know that those are the only two questions that one needs to reflect on.

Who are you? How does the world work? Do you know?
I was just listening to the song ‘Human’ by The Killers. The lyrics are so uplifting. Let me share it with you. And of course, yes, you can dance round the room to it. The lyrics really are so beautiful:
‘Human’ by The Killers:
I did my best to notice
When the call came down the line
Up to the platform of surrender
I was brought, but I was kind
Cut the cord
Give my regards to soul and romance
They always did the best they could
And so long to devotion
Wave goodbye,
Wish me well
You’ve gotta let me go
Will your system be alright
When you dream of home tonight?
There is no message we are receiving
Let me know, is your heart still beating?
The answers to the two questions that I posed at the beginning of this article are everywhere; we just don’t see them: As The Killers sing, not until we are on our knees looking for the answer. As they say, we have to walk through the open door, close our eyes, and clear our hearts. We simply have to surrender, be kind, drop out of our minds and into our hearts.
Who are we? The answer is that we are love. What is a passionate life? As Ram Dass, the spiritual guru said "It's a life fully lived."
How does the world work? The answer is that the Universe has it’s plan for you: You simply need to surrender to the flow of the Universe and let go. Drop that ego. By BEing love, you are providing an environment where every human being that you meet has the optimum chance to become conscious, through his contact with you...
It's so simple, really!
As it states in 1 Corinthians 13:11-12 "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." As it says above the entrance at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi "Know Thyself." As William Shakespeare wrote "This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."
Namaste.
