Who Are You? A Most Difficult Question to Answer. Why?

Look in the mirror and ask yourself the question: 'Who am I? How would you answer?
21521971_60553179.mirror.face.jpg
You could answer, 'I am a wife, mother, friend and President of my Parent Teacher Association.' or, 'I am a husband, father, friend and CEO of my own company.' But does that truly answer the question, 'Who are you?'

The reason this is a most difficult question to answer is that we have many different aspects of ourselves that are constantly operative.

Let us look at five. Add your own description of 'YOU' for each:

1. I am the body - This is the material part of you that you can touch and see in the mirror. You clean and care for the body, feed it various kinds of food, rest it and exercise it. It is often unaspiring and slothful.
You can say, 'I am a 40 year old woman, 5 feet 5 inches, a little chubby, have good teeth but am not very fit.'

2. I am the vital - You can have an aggressive vital (the lower vital), or a pure and dynamic vital (the higher or divine vital). What kinds of emotion or energy motivates your actions, your consciousness?
You can say, 'I am a man who wants the best for my family and for my community as well. I am inspired to place my energies in the service of both' (This is the higher vital).

3. I am the mind - Your mind can manifest as a 'doubting mind', a desiring mind, a negative mind; or the mind can manifest as a higher mind - an illumined mind. The mind deals with form, is limited and is easily swayed. [Describe your own mind.]

4. I am the heart - Your heart is almost always pure, except when influenced by the lower vital. The heart is loving, aspiring, inspiring and peace-loving, however, it is not the most perfect part of our being. [Describe your own heart.]

5. I am the soul - Your soul is the most perfect part of your entire being. In the soul there is no darkness; it is all light. The soul has a special mission here on earth. [What is your soul's special mission?]

Now with all five parts of your being often pulling in different directions, you can understand why there can be confusion and lack of clarity, procrastination and lack of focus.


Learn about each of the parts of your being. Be able to recognize which part is more operative during certain times of your day. Learn how to activate the higher parts of your being.

More will be discussed in a later blog. Meanwhile, work toward keeping your heart and soul activated as best as you can. Ideally you want to access and manifest your soul-power!

Manifest your greatness!!!

Hi Shirley,

You are so right on when you say, 'In order to control the body it takes a lot of mind and spirit power from God.' :)

Once we connect with our soul (which of course connects us to our Source), then our Soul will guide us and lead us in the next best direction. We must listen carefully, however, to hear the whispers of our soul.

Thank you Shirley for your kind words,

Hi Rijuta,

This is a most difficult question to
ask because sometime we dont
really know who we are. It might
come as a surprise to some when I
say this, but it is the truth to a certain
extent. Who know what one would
do if they were to get into a very
difficult situation, where as it is a
matter of life or death. If you have
to decide to protect yourself or to
get defeated. I believe we all would
choose to save our own lives. Life
itself is so uncertain, and we do have
all these different parts to our body,
but are we controlling each and every
one of these parts the way in which
we should? Some of us let the body
control us instead of us controlling the
body. In order to control the body it takes
a lots of mind and spirit power from God.
We must first connect to the Savior, then
he will lead and guide and direct us in
what and what not to do. Ritjua you post
such mind searching and knowledge blogs
I just enjoy responding to them all.
They are helping all of us BraveHeart Women.
Keep the Good works up!
Hi Debra,

Your "If I am true....authentic....in the moment.....I am clearer about who I am ......" definitely works for me as well. :)
I feel the motto of your 'Honor Your Truth Community' speaks volumes for an aspiring person.

Many thanks for adding . . . :-x

Hi Rijuta,

I am often pulled in different directions....I have many parts as we all do....I let many of them fade away and am reclaiming them now....and yes it can be overwhelming if I let it be....all I want to do, be, give....

If I am true....authentic....in the moment.....I am clearer about who I am ......

I also feel better....

as always good to hear from you!

Love,:-x
