Becoming Who You Always Are
Who are you? When did you become you? Who will you be in the future?
As we've discussed on this platform before, it is common in Unity spaces to invite people to "Remember who you are." But, who is the "them" that is remembering who "they are"?
In our conversation about consciousness, that question was at the core. And I believe it is at the core of Unity and "New Thought". I was talking to someone recently and the question came up about whether a person can be truly disappointed about not receiving something they've never experienced. For example, if a person feels disappointed because they've felt unloved ever since they were a child, how did they know that being loved should be the standard? If they never knew love, wouldn't being unloved be the standard?
Just apply this logic to food. If I have never tried a particular fruit, how would I know what the fruit is supposed to taste like before I try it. And when I try it, whether I like it or not, wouldn't that first experience now be my standard for what the fruit is supposed to taste like? Of course it would.
And yet, when it comes to the matters of the heart and mind, we know the standard of love before we have the experience. It is how we know how we should be treated. Of course, with enough damage, we can forget that knowing. But, if we are ever in contact with the real thing again, we know it, even if we can't explain it or receive.
This is because we are wired for love. We are wired for abundance. We are wired, to us that word loosely, for connection. And becoming who you always are is the culmination of remembering that anything that has told us otherwise is a lie.
I see the gift of us all being together is remembering and reminding that we always are who we've always been--a singular point of awareness of the fullness of life expressing itself in one of infinite forms reflecting back to itself the beauty and adoration of simply and consciously being One.
