Who We Are

The Fallacy of Physicality:
We are born into what most perceive a physical world. We burst through the vaginal cavities of our mothers into a cold, cruel, complex and cutthroat reality. When we are delivered, we possess everything we require to adapt, develop, excel, achieve, transform and thrive in life. The moment we draw our first breath outside of the womb, we have attached ourselves to the material experience. It is that expression of our will to live that determines our purpose, commitment and destiny.
The first twenty or more years of our lives we are processed through a vast labyrinth of information, rules, disciplines, social structures, evaluations and tests. We experience few successes, many failures and parental, peer and authority persuasion. With every day that passes, we yield more of who we were born to be and become more of a product of that which society conditions us to be. We are so distracted by what is going on around us we are oblivious to the gradual death that occurs within. We sacrifice our heart and soul in a needless pursuit for inauthentic belonging.
It is easy to be drawn into the fear, drama and reality of physical life. The potential of pain, illness, punishment, disease and death is an ample antagonist to ensure our compliance. Yet, no matter how “real,” dire or shocking it may be, the physical world is an illusion. We have allowed ourselves to believe that all we see is all that is real. We have turned our backs on the essence of the universe and ourselves by being seduced, stimulated, entertained and enslaved by our sensuality.
The House of Mirrors:
The greatest enigma in the existence of humanity is the mind. There is nothing in our being-ness more active, complex, spellbinding, intriguing and bewildering. From an early age we are confronted with millions of ideas, thoughts and judgments that bombard us and shape the course of our values, opinions and perceptions. As our intelligence develops, our innocence, sense of wonder, intuition and creativity fades. Decades of exposure to institutional information deprive us the development of our true wisdom.
There is a schism that matures in our minds during the process of our education, belief and social influence. Our societal structures are engineered in a way to prevent and even prohibit us from connecting with others beyond our instinct and intellect. These systems focus on the growth and programming of our left-brain so we eventually resign ourselves to a linear existence. These methods gradually segregate us from our right brain and our natural desire and necessity to create and express.
As we mature into adulthood, we find it more difficult to experience life beyond the boundaries of our mind and body. Our ability to feel and intuit with our heart and soul is distorted by the rigid guidelines of the common reality. When we transcend this two-dimensional lifestyle, we relate emotionally and spiritually with others and we experience vital life epiphanies and insights. These encounters are the breadcrumbs on our path of illumination, when we choose to acknowledge and apply them to our lives.
The Heart of the Heart:
Society has taught us that matters of the heart are a sign of weakness and a minor priority in life. Emotionality has been attributed more to women than men. Like the schism in our mind, this popular perception has caused a division between the sexes that has separated us not only from our relatives and significant others, yet also with ourselves. The human race has become a de-compartmentalized species afraid of its own shadow. Our fear of feeling has alienated us from our soul.
Our heart is the forgotten warrior of our being. Amidst the constant demands of our body and the continual drone of our mind, its enduring and omnipotent presence centers and grounds us into a multi-dimensional existence. Our instincts may deceive us and our intelligence may outwit us, yet our heart is our truest human quality. Its very expression offers clarity, guidance, insight and enlightenment. In the moments of our anger, upset, drama, confusion and fear, it reminds us who we are.
The center of our inner universe is our heart. It is the eternal, electromagnetic core of our being, the gateway to our soul and the lightning rod of our intuition. It is of course the most vital organ that pumps and distributes blood throughout the body. Yet it is also what provides our body and energy field with essential life force. It balances, sustains and expands our being. The quality of our experience of life is dependent upon how conscious of, present to and expressive we are with this energy.
The Song of the Soul:
When we choose to transcend the trappings of the mortal world, there is a place within us all that reflects a brilliance, beauty and majesty greater than any beheld on earth. It cannot be seen, heard, touched, tasted and barely can be felt. It is only experienced beyond our sensory expression. It is a feeling, yet much more. It is in the moments when all of our senses work in concert with each other we are able to capture a mere glimpse of the absolute splendor of our soul.
Every time we close our eyes, ears and mouths we become present to our purest potential. Our truth can only be found beyond the intimidating silence within us all. We are related with our bodies, minds and hearts, though we are so much more than we could possibly imagine. We may never experience the infinite heights and profound depths of our spirit until we transcend the physical world. The influence and impact of our body’s desires, our mind’s reason and our heart’s empathy are our greatest distractions. As inevitable and inescapable as they may seem, they are not insurmountable.
Who we are is a conduit of energy that channels the essential elements of free will, creativity, life force and love. We are an expression of focused being with the purpose of sharing our essence with the world. Who we are is the manifestation of everything that has ever been, is and will ever be. We are only as powerful as we choose to be. Who we are is the missing piece to a magnificent mystery only our true destiny may fulfill. We are everything we have ever sought to find outside of ourselves. Who we are is the measure of our passion to live life, affirmed by our birth and freed in our transcendence. We are the expression of the source of all creation.
Who we are is the vision of pure being come true.
