The evidence-based information and holistic resources outlined in these articles will help you to:

  • receive guidance and assistance from highly evolved energies and Source / The Light

As enough people do this, widespread personal and planetary change will naturally unfold. 

 

Who and What Are You Really?

The inspiration for this article arose while listening to the song ‘You Know You Know’ by Mahavishnu Orchestra led by legendary guitarist John McLaughlin.  My dear friend Dave Collins had passed on hours before.  I thought of him while listening to this song since we share a love of jazz-fusion music.  (I use the present verb form ‘share’ versus the past tense ‘shared’ since he quite certainly still loves that type of music.  As he neared death, we encouraged him to seek out and train with great performers in that genre such as Chick Corea, Jeff Beck, and others.)

I first heard the term ‘you know you know’ when studying Hinduism many years ago.  It describes a higher level of enlightenment: you not only intellectually know you are an eternal soul who is one with The One; you also have a deeply internalized knowing that guides and inspires every aspect of your life . . . even death of the human form.

When you ask yourself the question ‘Who and What Are You?’, it becomes ‘Who Am I?’  That is one of the most important that you can ask so I’ll share my understandings. However, please remember that ultimate answers to this question are incapable of being expressed.  That is, whatever descriptions I use will be insufficient and fall short of capturing the totality of your being.

Since words can’t convey the fullness of who you are, it has to be experienced.  That’s one reason why souls / people choose to come to earth; the density and difficulties here can deepen your inner knowing.  Terms for that include becoming enlightened, awakening, seeing the Light, being saved, and having a spiritual transformation.

(Articles at SoulProof.com providing information for my answers are in parentheses)

  1. You are so much more than you can imagine. Your earthly body is much less than 1% of who and what you really are.  (#11 Expanding Your View of Life and #15 The Nature of Humans)
  2. From a religious / spiritual perspective, you are a beloved child of The Ground of All Being. You are a unique soul – a precious creation that G.O.D. observed and said was very good.  Your true nature is a divine human who is awakening to your true nature.  (#13 What is G.O.D. Really Like? and #16 Evidence-Based Spiritual Teachings)
  3. From a clinical viewpoint, you are a timeless being of consciousness / energy / awareness.  That energy can manifest in various time-space ways, in this case, as a human on planet earth.  (#60 Clinical Evidence That Life Continues After Physical Death and #75 Multilocation / Parallel Realities / Simultaneous Experiences)
  4. You are a being of love and light who volunteered for this earthly experience.  Why?  Because of the abundant opportunities for Service, Adventure, Growth, and Enjoyment.  (#80 Why Are You on Earth Now? S.A.G.E. Training)

Eventually, since forever is beyond time, you will discover that you are indeed an integral and eternal part of All That Is.  You are made of the same energy and potential as the Creator and Sustainer of all life.  Great religious teachers across time have tried to explain this but power brokers twisted their words.  There is no set course you have to believe, say, or do.  Becoming enlightened means ‘realizing the Light within you’.

Jesus, who drew upon Jewish wisdom while forging the Christian perspective, spoke of being one with the Father.  The Buddha said we each are like a drop of water in the oceanic Divine.  Sufi wisdom posited that G.O.D. is as near to you as your hands and feet.  Hindus said the individual soul is nothing else in essence but the universal soul.

This acknowledgement of our true nature is also echoed by prominent scientists.  Some quantum physicists such as David Bohm PhD considered that we each are unique aspects of an energetic soup.  Depending on the observer’s perspective, that may appear as light, energy, or a formed human.  Albert Einstein PhD, a contemporary of Dr. Bohm’s stated: “A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.”  (#100 Enlightenment)

I hope this short article helps you better know and show who you really are.  That is a huge key to experiencing the greatest life of your dreams, a heavenly life whether you are living on earth or beyond.
