I’ve always known light shines thru me, but I still thought of its source as separate from any part of me. Only in the last month did I learn that I am that light. During that intense weekend where we either asked ourselves “Who am I?” or “What am I?” we did these exercises called dyads. Here is a link if you want more info, https://www.pathofheart.us/. As I struggled to put into words Who am I; I realized I can only experience it as I’m willing. Words are not really going to describe it. But at one point the words “I am the light that I shine” fell out of my mouth and that was profound for me. Some more of the separation between material and spiritual slipped away. Still I know I’m not the creator of the unique blend of light that shines through me. Definitely and thankfully there is something greater than me. But I am an expression of the creator. I am that unique blend that was created. I currently have at least one Omega aspect that expresses on this Earth physically, mentally and emotionally and has a sense of identity. And I have an Alpha aspect that I refer to as spiritual, that is pure awareness. This Omega aspect, which is conscious in the physical is learning more and more about this Alpha aspect of pure awareness. In my mind and beliefs and feelings, the gap is becoming smaller and smaller.

Identifying with Our Higher Self
The main thing that allows my higher self to shine thru and be the doer in my life is how I identify myself. If I choose to identify myself as a human being that doesn’t even have a higher self or even a spiritual self; then my higher self isn’t going to interfere in my free will choice to believe that about myself. The more I identify with my higher self; the more I show my free will indication that I want to acknowledge more with that part of my being. I’ve known for years that I’m a spiritual being having a material experience. And that nothing in the physical actually defines me. No experiences inherently define me. I can always choose how I wish to respond, even if it’s lifetimes later. I can choose differently as many times as I wish until I’m willing to just let go of the experience altogether. What I’m learning is that my physical and spiritual work equally hand in hand. One is the Omega and one is the Alpha. The physical is actually an expression of the spiritual. There’s some mud on the window and there are some filters in the way. The mud and filters are ideas that limit me; beliefs I’ve taken on out of feeling hurt or oppressed or rejected; and decisions I’ve made about what I do or don’t want to experience. But as I clear the mud and filters; more and more of the authentic me can shine thru. I can identify myself with false beliefs and hurt feelings; or I can reach higher. I choose to reach beyond anything I’ve come to feel or believe (especially about myself) based on my experiences on Earth.
