Today is my birthday, I am seventy six years young today, and am posing the question
in this blog today of WHO AM I ? One could easily say that if I have reached the grand
young age of seventy six, and still do not know who I am, then I must be a hopeless case!
I well remember asking myself this question back in 1974, when I was recovering from
a major life threatening crisis in my life, who the hell am I ? And what is the purpose of
this life anyway?
It was at this time that I took up meditation, and the practice of Self Inquiry, which meant
looking inward into the answer of who the hell was "I", what lay beyond the label of my name
Michael? Was I just a personality which seemed flawed, with an ego that would make Narcissus
look like a humble man! I soon began to realise that within us all lies an infinite connectivity to
a universal intelligent energy SOURCE, which reveals a soul within a physical vehicle (body) and
also an intangible energy which was the very essence of LIFE, which seemed to indicate that of
a inner Spirit nature.
I made a point for a few years of asking my friends and colleagues if they knew who they really
were, I would often get strange looks from them, saying things like you know who I am? What
the majority meant by that was their name, job, profession, where they were born, or went to
school or college university, they could offer nothing about who they really were BENEATH
the FACADE of their Physical form. I stopped asking after a while, just let it go, if my friends
were satisfied with just being a physical body with various labels attached to it, then so be it, it
was none of my business. The fire that burned within me was no way satisfied by this one
dimensional view of just being a physical human animal, that had what is called a functional
mind, that was loaded up with an endless supply of thoughts. Meditation opened up that inner
door, and fanned the flames that ignited my higher self the immortal soul to reveal itself to me
This awakening process led me into another dimension of reality, and an expansion of awareness
and conscious perceptions. This inner doorway is open to any soul who makes the decision to look
within themselves, and take up the practice of yoga, or meditation. WHO AM "I" ? I am the SELF
who is being expressed through the prism of a divine immortal soul, which then is being
further expressed within a physical vehicle, which we all call the physical body, "I" AM an
INFINITE BEING, absolute in its nature-less nature, currently experiencing a relative
experience here on a planet called EARTH/ That precisely is WHAT I AM! BY the WAY SO ARE
YOU!!!
Warmest regards Michael.
