I Knew It

We are already whole and complete. This is an eye-opening statement. It lends itself to the concept that we can't find what we are looking for outside of ourselves. I understand this. I felt I went beyond the analytical understanding of it. Then I wondered why on earth, if I am already whole and complete, would I come into this world of form. I was having trouble coming up with an answer that resonated.

I was discussing this with an evolved and cherished friend who helped me to put this perplexing and deeply complex question into perspective by asking me one simple question. She asked, "Isn't a brownie delicious?" And with that I exclaimed, "I knew chocolate had something to do with this!"

What am I doing here? Among other things, as my dear friend reminded me, it's simply for the experience of it. The pleasure. The fun. The happiness. The joy.

The chocolate.

Who's Driving This Thing Anyway?

"Life is living me." To put my understanding of that (and by understanding it I mean coming to know it as my truth) into words would be to say that Life - or that which I am - is "doing" what it does in addition to being what it is. Living. Life, that which I am, is living. It's being. And in that, it is guiding, or steering the ship, or driving the car that the identity I've come to think I am believes it is controlling. Hence the struggle of controlling our experiences here.

In this life I'd call it "me." That's not who I really am. I am not my body. I am not my mind. I am not the identity I have assigned to myself. I Am. I am Life itself.

And Life is living "me."
