in your search for identity, did you use metaphorical names?

Correct,Starman.I think it all boils down to intuition.

Blessings,and take care.

Okay, interesting discussion... I always love your posts Starman. Usually when I read them I find myself away from physical for a while, more in my heart, talking to your higher self. He tells very interesting stories that I cant explain really cz it indeed isnt words.

I usually see myself as a young soul. This isnt my identity, but matters in how I see life. Despite the manifold of experience I gathered in this life and having the qualities I have, usually I am reminded by my angel that "its a soul journey, not a life journey", meaning its not about getting rich, survival of the fittest or being a great anything. Instead, its a journey where my soul can experience the very deep nature here and learn about the depths of it all. So if I cant do this or that now, thats only a fraction of what I can do. Because Im here for me, not for the avatar.

And seeing who I am as a soul is radically different than my physical representation. Physicality is like the role play, who I am is really not that. Which is fascinating. I begin to recall who I am, and it feels like that is more natural to me. Who I am on Earth, never made sense.

Here I can get barely a thing right, while Ive always had a deep understsnding or feeling that I am not acting my size. People would step on me, and Id think I couldnt do anything about it. I didnt realize the power Ive always had, not because of the 'simulation', but as me.

Its interesting...

We all create our realities. We create balance and unbalance. We view power from the perspective of both. Very insightful conversation and choice.

Well said Starman!

It is the journey of our deeper being, our immortal self, which in my opinion has no identity. To form a relationship with that is to connect with an unimaginable power, awesome quality, and source of our so-called individual life. When that connection is made you do not have to believe anymore; it is an unforgettable experience. I think the biggest problem in this world is that there is a widespread sense of mistaken identity.

Most human beings can not remember their existence in the afterlife before they were born here on earth. Most people can not remember the experience of being a newborn human baby. Those memories are still with us, deep within our immortal being and we can recall them while in this human form. Memory is a reflection which has left an impact on us.

When I worked as a nurse I had patients who had lost a limb and even though they no longer had that limb they could still feel impulses from that limb. The medical profession calls it a “phantom pain.“ A person who has lost an arm would feel an itch or other sensation in that arm which they no longer had, or pain in a leg which was removed days ago. Cell memory in our nervous system or even deeper a memory within our spiritual being taken from having lived in a human body.

Memories which we identify with and take into our consciousness about who we thought, or think, we are. But the memory of our deeper being itself, our being of pure spiritual self, seem to elude most. We are all very incredible beings; no one is higher or greater than anyone else; It is only in our thinking that tells us such. It is my experience that our true identity does not fit in a high or low category.

When we begin to see the light within ourselves we will begin to see the light within everyone else. It is not a thought or mental construct, rather it is an experience of feeling a connection with all things and people. Overwhelming intoxicating love is in that connection. The stronger our connection with our deeper being the more awestruck it will leave our mind.

Below the surface we are, all of us, more awesome than words can describe. We are light, we are love, and even much more than that; at least, that is my experience.

Most human beings can not remember their existence in the afterlife before they were born here on earth. Most people can not remember the experience of being a newborn human baby. Those memories are still with us, deep within our immortal being and we can recall them while in this human form. Memory is a reflection which has left an impact on us.

Most,but not all.

The self we are, is removed from power is it not. We have no power here. We are and were separated from unimaginable power. Here we are to realize and (to) ascend. The question, is separation needed to learn to imagine and to realize? What is the perspective of before as opposed to now. The concept of before has always been relevant imo. The order to existence. It must be seen. But there is a concept of now for souls as well if you think about it. Change. There is both before and now. Soul must move forward.

I realized long ago we are to imagine the unimaginable, what we do not imagine. This is the same for soul (spirits) as there are different and individuals thoughts they hold and think. Their own. This might even be thought of as duality of thought. Is there that which must be imagined? I think it was well said.

Here we do not have unimaginable power and so have no distraction. Here we must imagine. Souls must learn to imagine. The question is do souls (before) create their own realities to that could change. Are we learning to imagine. Souls do not all think the same way.

Here there are different realities side by side as in the afterlife. Souls are not perfect yet but learning imo.

lemex, we each have our own experience and in my spiritual experience I feel great unimaginable power. A power which surpasses understanding. It is not imaginary and I choose to believe that this power is within everyone. We all have the grace of God within us and in my opinion that grace is all powerful.

My human form is temporary and we can transcend our human form and human senses even while still using those human qualities. I am talking about my experience, not what I think or imagine. I have been around lots of highly developed spiritual people in this life, people who with only their presence could touch thousands of other people all at once and impact their power to them. In India it is called “darshan,” and millions of people around the world have experienced darshan.

Everyone is already ascended, we are already home in our permanent everlasting source. The journey is an illusion; self discovery is just a matter of waking up to what has always been. This is my perspective. I don’t want to get into who is right or wrong, as what you have said is right for you and what I am saying is right for me. There are many, many, stages of awakening, still as I have said, no one is higher or greater than anyone else.

An awakened person needs un-awakened people, love is not love until you give it away, a teacher can not be a teacher without students. No one climbs the spiral of consciousness without the help of other beings, energies, or influences. If I lift you up I lift myself up and if I put you down I do the same to me, so I do not engage in discounting or devaluing another’s perspective, nor do I debate. In my opinion, duality aside, we are all inextricably connected. One ultimate state of being with many perspectives.

And this perspective just happens to come from the one which I call “me.”

Peace

Thank you for this Star. These days I find I am more interested in what Spirit says and communicates, has told others. This is as much about hearing from others who communicate with spirit. Here's the thing, I am interested in what Spirit or source communicates not that we can create anything we want. Hope you don't mind. We probably return because of what we create :). Here I give the opportunity to include what spirit has said and told others as well. Feel free to PM me what Spirit may have said.

lemex, I can only speak for myself and in doing such embrace that I am spirit. Yes, just like most I project my spiritual experience, thinking, and mental constructs, on to others, but I feel even though I view all as one, we who are centers of expression for that oneness all have our own uniqueness in the journey of name, form, and creation.

In my spiritual journey of identification I have often wondered what is it that awakens, what is it that transcends, or goes into other realms, dimensions, etc. In answering my own inquiry I have come to realize that it is awareness. Awareness is what I view as the agent of change, and what may we say is awareness?

For me, awareness is light, light which allows us to see and experience. We grow our awareness, which expands our consciousness. Spirit is not a separate thing which speaks to me rather spirit is me, my higher, greater being; a more permanent oneness of being. Whereas unconsciousness and ignorance of myself is a temporary transition.

I am embraced by spirit and find that I am embracing myself. I am loved by spirit and find that I am loving myself, and in the process of such “I am” vanishes and disappears into the expansive spacious oneness of being. This is my experience, beyond thought, thinking or imagination, and as misery loves company, so does joy, thus the spreading of such an intimate experience I share openly, publicly, with others.

Be patient with your self and live solidly in the eternal moment. Silence speaks from the here and now. All the power that ever was or will be is here now; there is no place where God is not, there is no place where love is not. This is what I experience and what I am blessed to share with others. All of us already have everything we need for the journey; we are the path which we walk; it is not something outside of ourselves, in my opinion.

Peace and Good Journey
