The Secret To Being You

MAP

You say we keep asking about what needs to change and you answer with “be yourselves”.

What aren’t we getting?  Why can’t we just be ourselves?

Your notion of who you are is too small.  Much too small.

You have bought into the idea you are a physical being which decreases your world right there.

You are energy beings and as such would see the world in a much different way.

There is nothing stopping you from doing this right now – except your thoughts about yourself.

How do we change our thoughts then?

Let go of what you know.

Step back and observe.

Think with your body rather than your mind.  Listen with your body rather than your mind.

Feel would be another word for these last two statements.



Let go.  Step back.  And feel.



If you would allow yourself to feel you would be amazed at what you could feel.

You think you would hurt more.  But I tell you, you would in joy more.

You would raise your vibration.  Your energy would soar.

Yes, you would feel what another feels – the trees, the birds, the sky, the water are part of that other too.

Soon you would take on a different idea of what other means – an extension of you.

Another way to experience you.   Another way to feel you.

And so you would end up doing things to protect yourself because you would cut yourself off from feeling you.  Like missing an arm or foot.



You already experience this with those who are close to you.

When you are apart there is something missing, a part of you is gone.

Not really, but that is what you feel.

The energy is less than it can be.

You can experience this connection, this fullness with everything.

You will stop doing many of the things you do now instantly when you realize this is true.

You will not cause pain for another – including the trees and the birds and the water and the sky – because you do not want to feel the pain for yourself.

Unless you do.



Let go of your notions of being able to hide behind some walls you call skin and bones.

Let go of your notions that you are the only ones that can be hurt and feel pain.

Let go of your notions your mind is in control and gives you the right to control others.

Step back and see all that is the same, how everything repeats in a new and beautiful way.

See yourself in the diversity of sameness instead of ignoring the similarities of differences.

You are more alike than you know.

And when you begin to care then you will feel.

Or start sooner by feeling full out so you will care.



You are much grander than even the grandest thought you hold about yourself.

You have much to grow into when you choose to do so.

There is no end and you have already begun.

So you might as well proceed forward rather than backward, expand rather than contract, see rather than deny.
