WE BECOME THAT WHICH WE LOVE

INVARIABLY, after writing and publishing a post, I have afterthoughts that flow in its wake. Implications arise from the topic considered. This afterthought arose from the opening words of a recent post; Love is an irresistible force that draws us into oneness with what we love. What, or Who, do you love most? Your spouse? Your children? Your career or job? Perhaps your new car. Some love money and wealth. Others love poverty and even take a “vow” of poverty, such as a monk or priest. Even the Pope, living and serving in a gold-plated world, takes a vow of poverty.

We become that which you love, and that which you love becomes you. It’s simply the nature and power of love.

Many identify with their jobs or careers. But you are not your job nor your career. You are the One who has a job or a career. To say one is a teacher, for example, or a salesman, or a doctor perhaps, or even the Pope, is simply not the truth of one’s identity. One is the One who lived before taking on a job or a career or high position in the world; the nameless One before a name was bestowed upon the infant form; the One who took possession of the infant form and was born out of “nowhere” into “now-here”. . . out of the invisible Realms of Light and into the visible world of humus flesh.

In truth, I am the One who IS the image and likeness of God and who created my incarnating capacities in the image and after the likeness of the Divine Creator Being I Am, in order to facilitate my mission and purpose here in this world . . . why I incarnated. In a word, I Am Spirit not form. My form has a name, but it is not who I Am. My mind is busy channeling and thinking thoughts and ideas, but I am not my mind. My heart is constantly feeling and emoting, but I am not my heart nor my feelings. One may say “My feelings are hurt” and yet truthfully say “But I am fine.” The One I Am and you are cannot be hurt or become confused or get sick. I Am the soothing balm of my hurt feelings, the clear light of my oft confused mind, and the healing balm for my ill body. This is what I Am: Spirit not form. I am the life animating my body, the light shining through my mind, and the love glowing in my heart.

This utterly confounds one who dwells in a state of darkness wherein one is ignorant of the Truth of one’s Self. Such a one cannot comprehend the Light of truth and reality. I know because I’ve been there . . . and I’ve seen others who are there . . . just recently, while offering guidance to a young person seeking wisdom in the throes of a failed relationship. Seeking wisdom in his particular situation was in itself a wise move. His blank expression, however, let me know that he had absolutely no comprehension of what I was offering him. “What do you mean I am not who I think I am?” Identifying with our outer form can stand as a barrier to discovering who we truly are. Wisdom comes with such discovery . . . and as we live and express out of our true identity.

The call in our day is to come out of the darkness of ignorance and into the Light of knowing who and what we truly are: “Bearers of the Sun,” as my late friend and fellow author Christopher Foster wrote about in his beautiful and uplifting book by the same name. Some love the darkness even as they are perishing in it. It’s peculiarly comfortable not having to think and question what we’ve been programed to believe.

Love the Light and become the light of your world. This is why we came here to this planet. Why we incarnated. We came here to shine our unique light into the world. SO, SHINE ON . . . AND THRIVE! It’s a delightful experience! Until my next post,

Be love. Be loved.
