From ‘Me, Myself and I’ to SELF’

We sometimes meet folks who are full of ‘me, myself, and I’. Well, as a matter of fact, I used to meet them but I haven’t met them in a while. Awakening really does protect us from headaches.

The ‘I-identity’ is not necessarily a ego—the Me, Myself, and I’ is. The ‘I-identity’ is a personality blanket instead. Some blankets are cozy, some look good, some are outright nice. Along an Awakening journey though, personality blankets shouldn’t be washed, fixed up or colored, they should be dropped altogether. Until we are really ready through, we follow the longings of our Soul. The Soul is really a GPS steering us Home over the lifetimes despite all ego inferences. Like puppets, we are led by God’s maya.

The SELF—GOD’s VOICE— is at our disposal the moment we strip naked of this personality blanket. For some this is a sudden occurrence, for others there are regular glimpses of the SELF in meditation, and in life itself. I used to listen to the SELF in songs on the radio, and had many Angels telling me what lies Beyond myself. Now I always feel embedded in SELF, mostly.

The Bible says, ‘Be still and know I AM GOD’. The famous I AM THAT I AM experience is at our disposal here and now. There comes a time when even the Soul has outlived its usefulness. The journey is finished and we are finally free. It is the end of an ancient journey—from ‘Me, Myself and I’ to SELF.
