Human Identity is a Misery - (4992)

To adopt our identity as an essence is to feel elation! It is to feel a great vastness, to feel the immense span of time, to feel divinity, to feel a future, to feel the stars, to feel a connectedness to nature, to feel a place among the universal spirit of life, to feel possibilities unknown and to know one day we will be reeled into and partake fully of our interior Divinity as we are a part of it...


To adopt only our human identity is a real misery. We feel straight away: old age, ailments, the limitation of the short number of years of our life span, only human life and all its same age old issues and topics, human culture: beer, coffee, parties and celebrations, our short travels and overvalued possessions, the lifeless specifics of our career and above all the fear and dissatisfaction of our funeral...


It is no wonder why people who have fully and whole heartedly adopted a human identity, believe that there is nothing after death. As they are fully their human identity, and as death means the end of the human being, they too then must end. To have our identity as our essence transcends this problem. 


To understand why I say to feel a human identity feels miserable, do the following. Relax all your centres, especially your mind, and contemplate as quietly as possible what it means to have our identity as the essence. 

After a short while, to your surprise flashes of what it means will begin to surface ever so naturally and normally in your mind. Feelings of vastness and possibility, feelings of joy to be in Divinity and authentically a part of the superior planes of existence will also emerge. If we contrast the human identity with those feelings we will really feel that the human identity is miserable.


All that we end up feeling with an human identity is our short number of years and the small world of human trivia and drama that we live in and our need to experience all that we can before we die. 


End (4992).
