Invitation from The Self

Standard

I have come through this heart, this hand, this pen onto this paper fulfilling the promise to remind you of who you are. Do you truly remember who you are or do you just think you do? Because if you “think” you remember who you are, you are most likely mistaken. Yes, a case of mistaken identity is the fatal disease most of humanity is diagnosed with. A plague of ignorance that will claim the dreams and passions inscribed within the hearts of millions. This disease is innocently spread one to another by denial of the heart’s calling and doubt in its wisdom. This transmission happens unconsciously from parent to child, teacher to student, clergy to congregation and leader to follower. This letter is an inoculation that will stop the spread of unnecessary suffering and heal the illusion of separation.

This must be administered directly into the heart with no mental filter. Are you ready to receive the cure of all that apparently ails you? Are you finally willing to step out of the circle that holds you bound and gagged with fear, doubt, denial, unworthiness and pain? You must be aware that this medicine of the heart is potent and has many side effects. I warn you so you will enter into this healing with an open heart and clear vision, both of which you will need to grow and flourish.
Some possible side effects of deeply receiving and awakening to the Truth of your Being:

  •  You may not know who you are when you stop being who you are not. This confusion is brief and will create the feeling of free-falling. During this time, focus on heart-centered activities such as prayer, meditation, singing and self-care of all kinds.
  •  You may become unrecognizable to your friends and family. They may exhibit fearful reactions for they will want to see who you as you have been appearing … which through the grace of this reminder is being tenderly dissolved. Be patient and kind in this time of transition for their fear is based on loss and you are now finding That which you cannot lose.
  • You will begin to go out of your mind and into your heart…your new permanent residence. A palace of freedom and love rather than the confining cabin of fear the mind has provided. Rejoice in this cross-consciousness move, for you are home free!
  •  There may be great bouts of vulnerability and intense intimacy which may overwhelm you causing deep and spontaneous expressions of heartfelt Truth and Love. Be prepared for rejection and reception. They are both beautiful blessings reminding you of who you are, regardless of external appearances, reactions and opinions.
  •  You may experience a divine fever in which you will come and go in conscious awareness. There will seem to be delusions and seizures of joy, followed by fits of depression. This internal sacred fire is a good sign that The Presence of who you are is burning away all that you are not.
  •  At last, you will be infused with great peace and overcome with a knowing that surpasses all concepts of who you thought you were. The beautiful landscape of your heart will be in full, clear view with no obstructions and no blurred vision. The Authentic Self who has been sequestered away behind the facade of the false self will be forever free to express its magnificence, glory and radiant pure Light in holy, healed wholeness.

Now that you have read the fine print that accompanies this reminder, I caution you further; that no matter how grand, beautiful and free you may imagine your Self to be in truth, the magnitude is incomprehensible until experienced directly. Come, receive the gift of a life lived fully, gracefully and divinely here and now!
