Who am I?


In a world where we are trying to figure out who we are, spiritual transitions throw us into the ‘Who am I?’ question over and over and over again.

So, who am I?

And … do I really need to have a clear grasp on who I am whilst I am in the middle of a spiritual transition?

Is it possible to have a clear grasp on who I am when I keep changing?

The only thing that I really can keep a firm grasp on is this: it is important to love. I may not clearly know who I am in this moment, but I do know that I am love, that I have the capacity to love.

If you imagine a clear white dot in the middle of a chaotic picture, that is me at this time, and that white dot represents that love that I am, as it is the only thing I can grasp and know at this time.

Our sense of identity is so often defined by the world around us, and the people around us, their fears, hopes, dreams, biases, and joys…but when we step outside of all of that, and decide ‘I would like to know who I truly am when I am not influenced by anything or anyone’ we have no idea what the journey will be.

It may be that our lack of sense of identity will throw us into confusion, but that’s okay, since it is all a transitory situation. One step at a time away from the illusion we have portrayed….one step at a time towards who we are becoming. Will we one day clearly be who we truly are?

Well, I wish I could answer that, but I don’t know who that is, and so I don’t know how challenging/easy it would to live that in this world. But I am damn well going to give it a try!!
