Recently I was sharing some of the wisdom of PSYCHEGNOSIS with a girlfriend. During the explanation of the “we are not what we think” some interesting ideas started to take shape. This always excites me for, to me, it means that I am really starting to absorb the subject in question not just parrot what I’ve been reading.
There seems to be a fine line on the use of the word thoughts I hope that doesn’t trip up any of the readers. In some ways the word ‘thinking’ can have a double meaning. Obviously thought processes are utilized in some way as I type this. When I hung up the phone and jotted down what I’d said to her as an inspired “sensing,” those words could be described as my thoughts. But go beyond this I am NOT those good thoughts either they are simply there to direct me down a path of awareness; they are like a warning beacon in the dark. If you stay sitting at the beacon you will not carry on your journey.
Back to my ponderings on whom I am not. My girlfriend’s approach to life doesn’t always take her quite as deeply into the type of spiritual exploring that mine does; so I like to take material that inspires me and adapt it in a way that I feel she would relate to better. She had also shared with me that she was trying to discover who she was, which is what led to the conversation in the first place.
I said something like this, “As I admit, throughout my day, what I am not, I start to peel away the layers I have created over time.” I am virtually peeling away the illusion. As these layers or illusions start dissolving in a solution of truth something starts emerging in my heart. This is not coming in the form of a thought (until I try to express it to you of course) but a new joy, a new peace is taking form within me. My step is lighter, my outlook brighter. Perhaps the real “I am” is beginning to shine forth. Whatever is taking shape, it is greater than thought and it breaks through illusion. How exciting to know that all that is necessary to bring it forth is to continually whisper (or shout if necessary) that “I am NOT”
