Over many years, I have come to a deeper understanding about WHO WE ARE and WHY WE ARE HERE. I am sharing this, in case you too are curious.

In my book Wake the F Up, I suggest that we are living in a radical time in history.

Every human on this planet is waking up to who they really are. And every human is on a “journey” that involves shifting out of an egoic-fearful state to an Awakened-state (our natural state.)

But who are we really and what is our “natural state”?

Here I list my current “knowing” about this topic. I will be expanding it into a short booklet if I feel the urge. I welcome your feedback.

Truth A. Life is an endless game

1. Life is a game created by an “Infinite Intelligence” (e.g. Vastness or Consciousness].

2. Each human being is a fractal of this Consciousness (like a hologram).

3. Consciousness is within us and living us (breathing us and directing us).

Truth B. We are Consciousness in form

4. Before incarnation, we chose to come into this earth-experience (in body).

5. When we incarnated, we forgot who we are (e.g. the Human Predicament).

6. We invented a false identify called an “I” (egoic self).

7. In an egoic-state we think we are separate from Consciousness and live in fear (a state of survival).

Truth C. Our purpose is to remember who we are

8. Our purpose in this life is to remember who we are and live as our true selves (not in fear).

9. We are all moving from an egoic-state (of fear) to an Awakened state (of liberation).

10. We are in essence ending our identification with the ego and identifying as Consciousness.

11. We shift by understanding how the mind works, witnessing it and inquiring (e.g. is it real)

12. On a daily basis we can surface our inner minds by observing the external world (it’s all a projection)

13. As you stop identifying with your ego/personality, your Awareness expands.

Truth D. Living in an awakened state is our natural state

14. In an Awakened state we live in flow and alignment, without effort

15. We drop resistance to “what is” and respond “naturally” (e.g. spontaneously)

16. Thus our main actions as human beings is non-doing, Wu wei, allowing, and Presence.

17. In a state of Presence our true power is our perception and our choices (how we respond).

I sincerely welcome your comments.
