My teacher used to say: “Once you put a word on something, label a thing, you limit that which you are trying to describe.”
The truth is, we cannot put a real value or explaining something for what it really is.
My teacher was asked about his journey, when did he start knowing his purpose, or dharma for this life, when did he realize he was different?
He says he was like this since he can remember. He had millions of questions, like:
“what is water!?”Yes, I know is H2O, I know about its proprieties or how it can be used, but what it really is?!
And the truth is nobody knows. We don t know what something truly is. We know how something can be used, but we have not a true definition on nothing. Because everything is so complex and infinite that our understanding cannot explain.
Nothing can be explain fully, it has to be experienced, and even when it is experienced it is subjective.
I am me. I am a human being, I am loving, I am strength, I am intelligence, I am revengeful, I am weak sometimes, I am scared, I am different, I am unique, I am so many things
So who is this me? Because he changes every time.
I really loved when Jesus was presenting himself. “I am that I am…I am before Abraham was, I am”
So when he said we are all Gods, and the fact that God is in every one of us, can we exclude the he really is even in every sentence we use? when we say “I am me”:
“I am” is the God inside of us the energy that keeps everything together and the next word is what we think define us.
So you are a God, the universe who experience himself in this particular human experience, in the character you built your whole life, the decision you made, the action you did.
Jesus also said “If you want to be like me, i can help you …”
So to be like him you just have to separate this sentence “I am …<something>” and just identify yourself with “I AM” like this you become infinite, whatever you put after you become something that has limits, can be described.
I am Samy.
“I” the God, in this short time experiencing myself as this person called “Samy”
So the foundation of our existence is the “I” we use in every sentence, there is no basic-fundamental difference between us. We all have that “I” which has nothing to do to our body, our wealth, studies, intelligence, we are all connected.
This small differences we give so much attention is something else, is society that taught us, and indoctrinated us to think in a certain way. The place you where born or the circumstances you where given to evolve, to use that to create a separation between you and the god inside of you, inside everything, To create duality and EGO is one of the biggest mistake we ever made.
For me you are infinite potential.
Un-manifested potential, wherever you direct your attention, and how much discipline you put into that, or passion, that much you can achieve. There are universal laws that this body has to follow. But everything else is infinite.
There are yogis who chose their moment of death. Who can read minds, and have all kind of abilities. Some people are born like this, some develops this kind of powers.
Their only purpose is to make you realize everything is possible, the impossibility of one thing is only a wall in your head. And the purpose of all this “magic” happening around you is to make you realize who you really are.
You are a part of God, you just have to allow it to be. So instead of limiting yourself saying you are something.
Just say … I am infinite, and I can be whatever I chose to be.
