Who Are You?
 After many hours of class and lots of experiential learning behind me I sat across from my teacher and asked ……….
“If this isn’t who I am, then who am I ?”
He smiled and gave me a look that implied (ah grasshopper, you finally ask the right question)…. that was my answer! No words, no insight -- just a look that told me I was going to have to figure that out for myself and the mere fact that I’d asked meant I was about to start down another road of self discovery.
Who am I? …………. I thought I knew.
Most of us think we know who we are by defining ourselves, by likes and dislikes or what we do for a living. We even define ourselves by our past experiences of success and failure. But is that who we really are?
Do you ever have the feeling that you are more?
I consistently see internal conflict in people -- who they really are trying to emerge from the beliefs and thoughts that bind them; voices of the past and present dictating who they are and how they should be and feel. This conflict not only causes suffering but keeps them from living the life they desire.
Distinguishing between what we think, feel and believe against what we have been taught and or shown to think, feel and believe is the challenge that we face on our journey to who we really are. It's not easy to stand in our own personal space without having to experience the feeling of possibly disappointing someone else. And yet this is all part of the evolution. Not only for you but for everyone involved.
When you start discover who you are -- and live your life from that knowing -- it will change your life. When you change, it gives others in your life the opportunity to change and grow as well.
So, Who are you?
Ah grasshopper  , that is for you to discover and it certainly can be the most amazing journey.
At soul escape my purpose is to remind you that you are more than you think you are. It is my pleasure to help you on your journey.
