Who are we ?

When we talk about spirituality, there are many views. 

Each person has different views ( also same as many other topics as well ), based on how they grew up, personality, and experience. 

Here is my point of view. 

 " Who Am I ? "

 I didn't understand the meaning of "knowing who am I " the first time I read a spiritual book which talked about it, about 20 years ago.

 I had never even thought about it until I had an opportunity to read a new age book. 

My first new age book I read was "The Celestine Prophecy: An Adventure " by James Redfield . 

I was around 32 years old at that time, working for a telephone company. 

The book was strongly recommended by one of my co-workers. 

I was not familiar with new age information at that time, so I didn't really understand the meaning of the book clearly. 

The book was best seller and there were also other co-workers who were much younger than me who also knew the book and she said she really enjoyed with the book. 

But I was like , really ??? 

I didn't get which part is so fun to read. 

Like what's the point ? 

It said   "Life is full of meaningful coincidences." 

But there was no clear explanation about the points. 

I was wondering why can they understand and enjoy with the book ? 

My co-worker wanted me to read as fast as possible, but I didn't have much time to read it except when I was in the train , and before going to sleep. 

So I returned the book to her after I quickly read it even though I didn't understand much. 

I suppose maybe I was not ready to read that kind of book then. 

However, I was curious that maybe there is some hidden truth of living if I start to get into the book. 

So I went to a book store to look around and I found so many kinds of new age books in the new age section. 

As a result, I bought two books which are "The Tenth Insight: Holding the Vision " by James Redfield, same author of other book " The Celestine Prophecy".

 and " Out on a Limb " by Shirley MacLaine. 

I didn't know why but I still could not get into either one of the books. 

So after I read some parts of them, I stopped reading them and forgot about it. 

I was having happy life at that time, and had a fiance. 

I felt that when people are happy and satisfied with life, they don't get into new age or self-improvement information. 

When I became 33 years old, I had tough time in my life for 3 years since the times facing the death of my dear dog who lived 13 years, passed away from heart problem. 

and my mother had serious illness which was Parkinson disease and passed away and also I broke up with my fiance,

also I got health issue and had an operation. 

Whenever I had issue with my life I always went to a book store to figure out to make my feeling better. 

 I was wondering what will happen after one passed away and wanted to figure it out . 

 There are some beliefs in Japan about it , but I wanted to know more deeply clearly about life after death. 

I found a book about it and also found a book called " Conversation with God 1 " by Neal Donald Walsh. 

That book was still new release at that time and in the New age section of the book store, the book was everywhere. and I was interested in the description of the book. 

In that Neal Donald Walsh's book, I found the word " Who am I " many times. 

Here is a part of conversation with Neal and his spirit guide ( or higher self, Neal called God ) 

 

Neal : " Life is not a school ? " 

Spirit guide ( or higher self ) : " No " 

Neal : " We are not here to learn lesson ? "

Spirit guide : " No. " 

Neal : " Then why are we here ? " 

Spirit guide :   " To remember, and re-create, Who You Are.  I have told you,  over and over again. 

You do not believe me. 

Yet that is well as it should be. " 

Neal Donald Walsh was not sure if he understand what his spirit guide was talking about.  

and me either when I read it first time. 

 

I didn't really understand the meaning of " Who You Are ", " Who Am I ". at that time. 

It took a long time to get it. 

In New age books, if there is a level of it, I feel his book conversation with god is not for beginners, but intermediate level. 

( his much later book "home with god" I would categorize as advanced level. ) 

Strangely, even though I didn't really understand the meaning of it, whenever I read the book, it made me feel calm , relaxed, and letting go, while reading it. 

So I loved to spend time with the book in my free time. 

However, my feeling was still ups and downs because I was still thinking life is passive, and worried about my future, what will happen. 

I wanted to know my future. 

It's really strange, when I read the same book now, there are so many information which could clear my questions. 

Why was I blinded for that information even when I was reading the book ? 

Maybe my frequency level of vibrational energy at that time was very heavy and low. 

Maybe my brainwashed belief was still there so, didn't notice or pay attention for the real meaning of it. 

After that, I started to get a class for tarot card and numerology , and got the degree of it in the school. 

and started working as a fortune-teller , for a while after finished my main work.

Tarot card was very interesting. 

All the cards have pictures which symbolizes the meaning of it. 

and it's very spiritual and it shows what is in one's subconscious mind. 

During the time I had many opportunities to meet many people and enjoyed spending time with my friends almost every weekend. 

I stopped reading the new age books when I noticed that type of people who are into New age book. 

 In Japan, image of serious religious believers , especially Japanese religious communities which had many problems in the past , are very bad. 

There are also cult religious communities exist. 

and many people who are not familiar with New age think religion, New age, astrology, fortune-telling , mythology are all the same. 

They don't want to be brainwashed by them. 

and while I was into the new age books, I noticed that many people who are into New age were often looked unstable in their mind. 

No one looked happy or having unnatural positive attitude. 

My goal was to be always happy, so if there is no happy people who have been into New age for a long time, I felt it's something wrong with it. 

Actually my mind was also unstable and sometimes irritated or frustrated when things didn't going my way. 

It also seemed that happy people who were around me who enjoy their life and getting what they want in their life don't care for those stuff like New age, fortune-telling, mythology and religion. 

So I stopped reading about New age and quit the work of fortune-telling since then. 

 Somehow I felt so good after letting go all of these stuff. 

and I started figuring out what are the common things of people who are achieving their dream or desire in their life. 

What I found were following, 

1. Have one Clear goal with details ( not multiple things ) and make a strong decision to get it. 

2. Taking action to get what they want. 

3. Focusing and thinking about what they wish to have all the time. 

I was not reading law of attraction type of books or self-improvement books at that time so this was from my personal research. 

and realized that if you make a wish strongly, your wish come true. 

Best way is to believe that Life is always going the way one really wishes. 

Later when I suddenly found what I want the most in my life, after coming back from my friends house in the USA, I was thinking about it almost all the time except for during the working time.

I then soon met my husband Ray. 

I had an inspiration. I've been feeling we are really perfect match for everything. 

 My husband was into new age since when he was teenager, like Jane Robert's Seth books, and is knowing a lot.

but for awhile he stopped reading new age information because he couldn't find anything as deep as her books, until together we found Bashar ( an alien from Essasani planet )  and Neal Donald Walsh.  

I started interested in self development book for my work around 2006. 

After reading several self development books, I was into Robert Anthony's books and information which talked about following, 

" Everything in the world is made up with energy. " 

" All energy has specific magnetic proprieties. To put it in simple terms, we are basically magnets.

 As magnets, we are attracting things all day long, even if we are unaware of it. 

This magnetic energy is also VIBRATING at different frequencies, and those frequencies determine the magnetic properties of the energy that we are vibrating. 

Essentially what we are saying is this : How we align our energy is the key to making a MAJOR change in our life and attracting ANYTHING we desire.  " 

This information was new to me and his explanation was so clear and easy to understand, so I was getting into this spiritual self-development info since then. 

So far my husband and my favorite experts are Bashar ( an alien from from the Essassani planet ), and Neal Donald Walsh.

When I re-read Neal Donald Walsh's books now, I really understand everything what his spirit guide said and it has many answers like why we are all coming to this planet, " who are we? " which I had been wondering in the past.

and there are a few Japanese psychic masters who can contact to a supportive alien who is helping earth people. 

I trust and believe this information based on my inspiration. 

Because actually, I'm not easy at all to trust and believe in something. I decide based on my inspiration. 

and I think when we talk about spiritual , the source is always from spiritual. because it's a direct communication with spirits who are from other dimension. 

But it has to be a trustful psychic master and channel-er.

I won't be interested in to read human spiritual experts who have no real psychic power talk about spirituality, especially using only mind, ignoring 

" feeling and inspiration ". 

 Human can not know and can not understand spiritual things if they are using only their mind which has limitation, and left brain function, seeing parts rather than the whole picture. 

One can not know and experience the truth using only mind. 

Each spirit has different experience, so depending on the spirit guide, and alien, they may have different angle to see it based on their experience. 

Bashar ( alien from planet Essassani ) quotes - 

  ~  " Don't think like a human. 

 You have the ability within you to create anything you wish. 

Take responsibility for your journey, and make not adjustments out of fear. 

Truth is, you are all highly powerful entities walking on this planet, disguised as simple biological beings, and disguise fools everyone - even yourself. " - Bashar  ~ 

Look within, we will never find the answer if we look for it outside, the answer is within. 

So back to my first topic " who am I ? " 

From "Conversation with God 1" by Neal Donald Walsh 

 

" The soul - your soul - knows all there is to know all the time. 

Yet knowing is not enough. 

The soul seeks to experience. 

You can know yourself to be generous, but unless you do something which displays generosity, you have nothing but a concept. 

You can know yourself to be kind, but unless you do someone a kindness, you have nothing but an idea about yourself. 

It is your soul's desire to turn it's grandest concept about itself into its greatest experience. 

Until concept becomes experience, all there is is speculation.

There is only one purpose for all of life, and that is for you and all that lives to experience fullest glory. 

Everything else you say, think, or do is attendant to that function. 

There is nothing else for your soul to do, and nothing else your soul wants to do. 

The wonder of this purpose is that it is never-ending. 

An ending is a limitation, and God's purpose is without such a boundary. 

Should there come a moment in which you experience yourself in your fullest glory, you will in that instant imagine an ever greater glory to fulfill. 

The more you are, the more you can become, and the more you can become, the more you can yet be. 

The deepest secret is that life is not a process of discovery, but a process of creation.

You are not discovering yourself, but creating yourself anew. 

Seek, therefore, not to find out Who You Are, seek to determine Who You Want to Be.  "

Originally, we were all awakened, but we chose the " illusion of forgetting who we are " so as to experience the joy of discovering it anew.

Our purpose is to be co-creators with the infinite and to remember who we are.

So,  " Who am I"  is  what I want to be, what I love and love to do. 

It's freedom. 

This is the answer.
