REMEMBERING
Who you are, what you are, why you are
We are all hungry to remember. Remember who we are, what we are, why we are. We have become so accustom to the black cloud of forgetfulness that most simply do not even realize that there is something to remember. Yet there is often a deep longing for something that we can’t quite describe yet somehow know is there. If we are lucky, which is simply another word for incredibly disciplined and focused, than that longing inspires us to seek. Seeking are those actions, whether internal or external in nature, that we take which drive us into remembering.
Getting to a place of remembering is not a passive process and yet the paradox is that all that is required is to receive. To enter into a state of receiving that which is already here and available to you. In general most people are not very receptive. They are filled with the contents of this dreamscape we call reality and there is no space for anything else to enter. When the content of our beliefs and thoughts consumes us we are disconnected from the true reality of ourselves. We think we are the character that we are playing in this dream and don’t see that we are the creator of it. We miss the most obvious, and yet nearly all people miss the most obvious. This is why nearly all of humanity is asleep even though their eyes are open. Asleep because they lack awareness of their true self. This creates a mundane, flat, and ordinary appearance and experience.
This disconnection from knowing ourselves leaves us feeling powerless, like we aren’t in charge and don’t have choice. One of the most important aspects of remembering is your decision to decide that you can. The indoctrinate of impossibility within which we are cloaked in must be pierced by you for you. You must see that you can, and beyond that, that you must choose remembering for yourself. It will not passively fall upon you. That is not to say that there is no grace, because there is, however grace arrives when you’ve reached the edge of your purely devoted discipline to the seeking impulse to remember and know yourself beyond all else.
It may be strange for you to realize that you really don’t know who you are at all. All that you know is what you think yourself to be and what you’ve been told you are. Yet the you that is the real you cannot be touched, defined, labeled or put into any boxes. The you that is the real you is free, unnamed, and inexhaustibly present and powerful.
WHY YOU ARE
Delivering what you came to deliver
Why are you may be the most important relative question to ask and answer. One of the prime reasons that makes remembering who and what you are so important is so that you can deliver your why. Your why is why you incarnated into this body and dream-human-reality in the first place. Why are you even here? Do you know? Many do not. They are simply going about the motions of being human, following the blueprints that are written inside this matrix reality that we currently live within, and many don’t question or seek beyond that programming.
What’s the value in seeking beyond the programming? Well for starters everything becomes richer, more alive, brighter and infused with life. Since we are the very essence of life, bringing ourselves back to life is a good start. It is the how of how we bring the non-ordinary, magical, and colorful into our everyday lived experience. This comes with the feeling state of love, bliss, ecstasy and greater unity with all. It also breaks up our perception of a linear time-space continuum and opens us into different realms, places on our time line and a more multi-dimensional reality rather than a linearly directed one. Seeking beyond the programming also allows you to bring through the ideas, gifts, energies, expressions and manifestations that you came here to bring through moment by moment and piece by piece. Each one of us has a different flavor of uniqueness that we came here to create from and share, but if we don’t remember ourselves then it feels like a guessing game rather than a clear directed path and knowingness.
See the only thing that stands “in the way” of you remembering you and experiencing more life, are these programs of impossibility. When we look through the lens of impossibility, then remembering feels hard and amount of energy we need to conjure up feels like more than we can access. However when we look through the lens of possibility, even of maybe possible, then remembering feels lighter (because we are not weighed down by that impossibility belief) and the energy required is more available to us.
The golden key is in our remembrance. We must wake ourselves up from our slumber, from our sleeping state of unconsciously living our lives, and remember that we are the creator of it. The contents are not disconnected from the creator of them. They exist only because of the creator. But you are not the contents. Through remembering your creator self you can consciously create and deliberately bring forth your desired playground. This isn’t fantasy anymore than the fantasy of the current reality that we live. We’ve simply created a fantasy-reality that is the current state, and we can rightfully and deservedly so create another seemingly different and more colorfully playful one that is filled levity and joy. All that is required is for you to prioritize and outright demand from yourself to remember yourself above all else. You can and you deserve it. We all deserve it. Don’t settle for what has been issued out. Decide what you want to create no matter how outrageous it may seem and go for it. I mean what else is there to live for really.
