We have been talking abut the concept of the self we hold and believe so strongly and use as our “identity” to establish a sense of self worth for ourselves. There is nothing wrong with any of this except that we have made this self concept in isolation from Spirit and the truth about who we really are. We have learned this self concept and become so attached to it we established our self worth on this concept made in isolation. The result is that we have blocked ourselves from the awareness of the reality of who we really are. Our self concept becomes a barrier, a veil, a thick soupy fog, that essentially blocks our eyes and minds from the eyes of Spirit we all have.
We are so attached to this self made self concept that we are very unwilling to let it go and let our spiritual vision take hold. We have taught ourselves to fear what we might see if we let go of that idea we hold so dear. So God has given us each other in this world we think we see. We are asked to be willing to see another, whomever we are with at any given moment, as the creation of God they really are. We are asked to be willing to entertain the thought that they may be whole, innocent and divine as they are created. In the moment of that thought, we see our true self reflected back to us, a reality we could never see in isolation without the help of Spirit’s vision.
That flash of vision, that glimpse of reality, opens our eyes to the vast peace and love within us that extends to all of creation. Granted, this is the first flash. We still have much to learn, or better yet unlearn, about how we think. This is the role God has entrusted to us. God entrusts each holy one we encounter to us to grant forgiveness and salvation, seeing the Truth about them. Once we make this shift in our mind the real world opens to our sight. We have dropped the veil of our self concept from our eyes and see the peace, love, and light of God shining forth from each other and thus from ourselves. We feel the connectedness of all creation. And we feel that communion of Oneness extend beyond ourselves and the ends of the earth to the limitlessness of the universe. What joy we feel as we let this new awareness of our true identity rise in our minds. God has held this for us, waiting for us to just be willing to ask. Let it be so.
