WHO AM I?

There are many answers to this question but will we ever know the answer we are looking for? If someone asked you “who are you?” and you replied saying “I’m James” this would be a normal response most people would give by stating their name but is this who we are? I mean we were given these names at birth and at the end of the day they are just names, we have the ability to even change our names if we want to. So how can we be one name and then change to another, if that first name is who we are?

Nowadays, we self identify with so many different things whether it be race, religion, political view etc. and society has made us identify as each one of these things, like when we fill out these forms and we have to check the box that we identify as. So in a sense, society has formed our identities for us and not allowed us to actually find out who we really are, they just have us believe that we are just human beings with all these different identifiers they give us.

When you think about it, even friends and family, most of the time not intentionally, will have you believe that you are what they say you are. For example, your friends may say that you are the party person/life of the party, so now whenever you are around them, you feel like you need to be this expectation they have of you even though this is not you, it’s just a mask you put on to hide your true self, but because people have told you that you are this person, you have then come to believe that this is who you are.

In any event, all these different variables distract us from the truth of who we really are which is infinite consciousness having a human experience. Everything we see in each other is us seeing ourselves, we are all the same consciousness but we are just having different human experience, so it makes us feel disconnected from one another due to self identifying with the human experience.

In my opinion, I don’t think we have the capability to fathom who we really are, as what we are cannot be explained in a way that we could comprehend in this human experience, so the best way of explaining it is to say that we are infinite consciousness, we are everything and we are noting at the same time.
