Polishing Me

Not so long ago, I was asked how I could have grown so much so fast, how I could have come from where I was to where I Am. The answer is simple, but not necessarily easy. Simply put, I wanted it, so I spend my time on it, on me. I work on and live me every day, all of my day. What this person did not see is all the preparatory work that went into me before they knew of me, or my journey. Even then, they would have to know the story of me and they would have to put on my shoes, see through my eyes, my soul eyes, through me.

I, like you, we, have our own unique perspectives, and those perspectives have changed from the time we arrived until now. My change has allowed me to see further than I did, listen, when once I did not, and to be willing to see my ego for what it is, how it effects my life, and most importantly, set it aside so that I could listen to and live me. My growth came because I allowed it to come. I accepted it. I stood soulfully naked and allowed myself to realize who and what I was, and, that in my nakedness, I would be okay. That was hard because ego screamed to put something on, to hide. It was in my allowing ego to scream at me, when I learned I was not my ego, nor my vessel. I knew then, I was vastly more beautiful, and more powerful than I ever allowed myself to be, and, I saw me, the real me.

This is not without hiccups, stumbles and falls to my face. Finding me is like learning how to walk as a child. Over time, I had to find my legs and come to know of the simple being I was. Like I said in a previous writing, spirituality is not glittery, it’s not fast or flashy. Becoming me and living soulfully, Godly, is simple and pure, and in fact, is the opposite of glamor and glitter. More pointedly, living this way, is, to live naked and without all the trappings of this world, and that includes ego.

Even now, living this way is difficult sometimes, not because of living simply and purely, but because the lures of this world, this dimension still call to me; still pushing my buttons looking for weaknesses. Yes, sometimes I stumble and fall, but I just keep moving forward. I have decided to spend the rest of my days in the pursuit of me, my light and my connection with the divine universe, with God. For me, the callings of this corporeal life are trivial, and I cannot exist here without acting, being and living Godly. It is in the polishing of me, so my light can bring about me, that I shine. In my shining, others can be reminded of their light, their me, and can know once again that it is possible to shine and simply be. It is in my constant and relentless pursuit of me that I find me, as it will be for you. Our salvation is in the never-ending pursuit and allowance of our purely simple selves.

It has been said by few, a very important few that the Kingdom of God is within and all around us. Yes, our salvation is within us. So, I choose me, and I hope you choose you, for in that choice, our journey begins. However, it is in our daily and moment to moment quest that we become more than we were, and we come to be as much a part of God as we allow ourselves to be.

How did I come so far so fast? I wanted to. I wanted to live what I had always known, and I work on allowing me, my essence every moment of every day. I find love, not in others, but in me, and I give it away for free. I share everything me, especially my revelations and love with all who reach to be, and even those who refuse to be. Those who want to know who I've come to be, are welcome to that beautiful part of me, as I freely give to you, all of me.

The more I grow, the more you can grow. The more you grow, the more I grow. Our completion is not just in being the best soul I can be, nor in the best soul you can be. Our completion, our becoming, is being the best we, we can be. In being the best we, we can be, we bring about the best and most complete God, God can be. You see, we are one with God, and our only separation is by our decision to be or not to be. So, I choose me, the best me I can be, and in that, I hope the best me brings about the best you, you can be, and together, we will bring about the best God, God can be. ~ I Am - Wisdom
