WHO AM I?
As each of us travels along life's path, there are, from time to time, events that occur to 'trigger' us into remembering who we are. For many, this will be resolved by looking to the past... to seeing oneself from the perspective of one's achievements to date. Such a perception is based on one's small self, the self that does... the aspect of self that is ego-based.
A much larger view of who we are can be found if we look to the future, to understand 'who we are' as being the potential of what we can become. Not only is this an important paradigm shift from requiring proof to one of trust, but it also opens the door to the Inner Voice... that aspect of our greater self that is a conduit between Spirit and our day-to-day beingness that manifests itself as our physical form.
When we move to this larger knowingness of ourselves, we begin to remove the veils that have helped separate us from our true origins and we begin to see that our past has as much potential as our future. Soon we find ourselves remembering that we are spirit having a human experience and not the other way around.
At this point, many new pathways are self-realised. Firstly, one knows that there is no turning back from the path of self-realisation, from reclaiming our spiritual birthright of a life whose every moment is in the divinity of Service. Secondly, we begin to see ourselves as energy; less able to be defined (or limited) than the more easily identified physical body.
This is the pivotal point of transcendence where one moves from a mental understanding of the importance of one's spirituality to actually living it on a day-to-day basis. This is the point that asks that we surrender and trust, and "step off the cliff" in the knowingness that everything will be O.K. This is the point where we, at the House of Light, are at your service to help you find your true path... whatever that may be.
