BEING INSECURE AND UNSURE of ourselves when interacting with the social world, the world of business, the world of human relations, we tend to put on costumes that hide our true identities. Fearing rejection, we pretend to be someone else, so as to be accepted by others.
ALTHOUGH WE APPEAR TO BE DIFFERENT, in truth we are all pretty much the same. This is hard to discern for we all have a habit of presenting a different persona depending on the company we keep. It seems that we hide behind these false faces so as to avoid showing who we really are.
THE BIGGEST STUMBLING BLOCK to ridding our minds of the belief that we are the ‘thinker' in our head is fear... fear of the unknown. "Who would I be if I'm not the person I think I am?" The trepidation of suspecting that we may not be ‘who we 'think' we are’ and attempting to find out who we truly are is daunting for if we took that step, we fear what would become of us.
ALL THAT IS, INCLUDING THE GALAXIES, planets, light, matter, you and me, everything we can see and everything we can’t see are the inner manifestations of the One Supreme Consciousness. The universe is conscious in its very fabric, and we are an integral part of it!
*WHAT ARE YOU MADE OF? Matter... Tissues and organs. What are tissues and organs made of? Cells. What are cells made of? Molecules. What are molecules made of? Atoms. What are atoms made of? Sub-atomic particles. What are subatomic particles made of? ENERGY!
THE UNIVERSE in essence is formless, without structure. It cannot be named for there is no Thing there to name. In reality nothing is solid, all is consciousness (thought). Thoughts put together this ever-changing energy field into a universe that you can see, hear, feel, smell and taste.
TO PLAN YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOU ARE BORN means that by necessity you must already exist as an intelligent entity of some kind before birth... and vice versa, after death. So... instead of being a finality, life/death states of being appear to be on/off switch’s that separate our different physical lifetimes.
WHETHER WE ONCE LIVED IN AN 'ALIEN' BODY, or a human body is the prime vehicle that we use to allow us to experience physical life, our true existence is eternal! A never-ending cycle of life, death and re-birth. We are Spiritual Beings focusing on and learning from myriad lives as physical beings.
Our present lifetime is completely separate from our past lifetimes for a very good reason. The sheer diversity and intensity of those previous lifetime recordings is so varied, so complex, so different from our current life it would in many ways be highly confrontational.
If all of a sudden, we broke through that protective wall it could be very upsetting for us emotionally. We would not be strong enough to handle the tremendously confusing deviations between our different lifetimes.
Author ‘Nikki Gray’ writes, “Knowing about past lives can seriously mess with you mentally and emotionally. Although I personally find them fascinating and look upon them with no judgments; not everyone may be able to handle knowing about all the different roles we play here on Earth over our many lifetimes.”
On a more positive note, we ‘sort of’ remember our past lives, albeit subconsciously – as Carey Williams – Co-Author of Reincarnation writes: “Many people feel that reincarnation can’t exist because they don’t remember their past lives and my answer is, we do remember. We don’t have the details but we have certain key hints as to who we are.
The type of music we like, the people we are most attracted to, the type of food we like, the clothing we wear, certain periods of history that we identify with. These are indications of where we have been before and so our present lifetime is a composite of all the fruits of what we were before.”
Mankind is not yet advanced enough to deal with the emotional upheaval caused when remembering what we have been before. For quite a few lifetimes to come those memories must remain in our subconscious, gently guiding us along a predetermined path towards future lifetimes when we will be mature enough to remember who we truly are…

YOU ARE NOT WHO YOU ‘THINK’ YOU ARE! How many times have we heard
or read that statement? We scratch our heads in perplexity asking, “Well then, who
are we?' It’s difficult for us to fathom for we are ‘thinking’ about
this with the mind of the very person that we’ think’ is who we are.
It’s a bit like trying to convince a caterpillar that it’s really a
butterfly. We are so wrapped up in our cocoon of ‘physicality’ that we are
blinded by our preconceived belief of who we are. Like the butterfly, are we
really a Spiritual Being cocooned in a human body?
According to Edgar Cayce, the Sleeping Prophet, “We are Star Beings that
are temporarily sojourning terrestrially.” He prophesied that we have
experienced myriad physical lifetimes, not only on Earth, but also elsewhere in
the Universe.
So, let’s not ‘think’ but try ‘imagining’ what we might be
if Cayce's prophesy is plausible. What is one of the most alien looking creatures
found on Earth? An octopus surely. If we have lived myriad lives elsewhere in
the universe, then maybe we would once have had a body similar to an octopus.
Let’s pretend anyway.
In this pretend world, instead of humans, we would all be octopuses. Our
parents, ourselves, everyone. We would accept our world of octopuses as normality.
If we saw a human being it would be scary. If we were told we were once human,
we wouldn’t believe it. How could we possibly be such an ugly creature?
We would still be Spiritual Beings but cocooned in an octopus body, bodies
that we would fully accept as being who we are. When told “We are not
who we think we are” we would scratch our heads in perplexity, disbelieving
we could be anything other than an octopus.
The point is, our body may change, but our Spirit (our true self)
remains the same. It’s the same Spirit that is cocooned in our present body...
or any other body, alien or not that our Spirit has or will inhabit in our
Soul's eternal quest for knowledge and learning experience.
So, separate yourself from your body, for it is not who you are. You are
Spirit, the curious inner awareness that is observing the events of life
through the interactions of the body’s senses and emotions. You/your Spirit is
eternal. Eventually you will move on to inhabit other bodies to further the
learning experience...

“WHO AM I?” No-BODY! “Then what am I?” No-THING! “Well then, what's the reason for me being here?” There is no reason. “But what about ‘ME’? My life, my desires, my personal striving for something better than what I have?” All is pointless. The ‘ME’ that you ‘think’ you are does not exist.
