Mystic Messages

How often do you drill down to the core of your being to examine what truly exists there? Are you a person who lives on the surface of life or do you linger in the depths of emotions but avoid the in-depth analysis of who you truly are, your essence, in the center of your being?Let us help you today to examine your essence.

Many of you live in a busy life that leaves you little time to ponder the meaning of events, feelings, your life. Many others of you spend a lot of time pondering your life, or what’s missing in your life, and you avoid or put off actually living your life to its fullest. And some are trying to do both and feeling paralyzed by life. How do you interact with your life and yourself in your life?

If you can pause in your busy life, whether it is filled with activity or analysis or paralysis, and look into the center of your Self, what will you find? How do you feel as we suggest that you do this? Are you frightened? Nervous? Excited? Worried? Just notice how you react to the idea that you might look deeply inside yourself for you will get information about yourself from that reaction.

This process does not require a weekend retreat or even hours of meditation but it does require a commitment to be honest with yourself. Are you willing to make that commitment?

To start this process, do find some time when you can be alone, without the intrusive energy of others, and allow yourself to be in a relaxed state, maybe in an environment that is comfortable and conducive to reflection. Light a candle, and incense if you like, and allow your thoughts of busyness to float away from you as you claim this time for yourself. You will probably want to have some writing materials or a journal handy as you start.

Now get into a comfortable position, take a few deep breaths while you focus on becoming very relaxed. This is not for going to sleep but for going inside. Imagine that you are on a vacation where you have no responsibilities, no schedule, no place to be and you are on your own for the moment. Where are you? Look around you to see what your environment is. If you feel uncomfortable then move to another environment in your mind’s eye, for you are controlling this exercise.

When you are feeling relaxed and comfortable then start to ask yourself, ‘Who am I?’ and notice your answers to that question. After each answer, ask again, ‘Who am I?’ This may sound strange or humorous at first, but each time you ask yourself this question you will go a little bit more deeply into your essence. ‘Who am I?’ Ask again and be curious about your next response. ‘Who am I?’ You might start to find that you are no longer defining yourself in relationships to others. ‘Who am I?’ You might be going back in time to what was in you as a child or at birth. ‘Who am I?’ By now you might be thinking of yourself in an abstract way, using nebulous language to describe yourself. ‘Who am I?’ Ask again, and you will be starting to get to your essence, your core.

Continue in this way until you cannot ask the question anymore because it doesn’t make sense to differentiate yourself from all of Life.

What was your path to your essence? Are you now trying to analyze or predict what you would say if you tried this exercise? Are you feeling as if you don’t need to do this because you already know yourself so well? No judgments here, just notice and be curious.

There are many ways to go inside and this is just one path but it is a good one to try to start the process of self-examination. When you feel complete with the exercise for this moment, then allow yourself to gently return to your body in the room you started in and come back to your space. Journal about the experience and how you felt along the way.

Try doing this on multiple occasions and see if you travel down different paths to the same place or the same path to different destinations.

And remember that you are The Light. Any time that you feel you are in the dark it is merely because you have turned your back on The Light that is inside you. Look inside to find The Light that is always burning brightly there.

And so it is.
