' Who are We '...

Well then, just who are we?

We see that we are not our physical forms, nor our brains, nor our personalities, nor our electro-chemical thoughts, Remember that these physical things are just energy being allowed to vibrate in such a way that the form becomes visible to others.

This energy is God, but we suspect that there are types energy that do not vibrate in ways that makes outward manifestations, and we need to understand that we are being shaped by elements that we cannot see, touch, or measure at this point in our awareness.

We can safely say that we are manifestations of God:

everything is a manifestation of God, but that is as far as we can go.

We remember that we are using a body, a mind, and a personality at this particular point in the sequence of things, but the real "us" is what we have referred to as the "Self," and this Self is in constant knowing contact with God.

It is aware of God, whereas the ego is not so aware, having been created by God for a different, limited purpose.

As we saw, the ego therefore cannot be enlightened.

The Self is already enlightened, but is allowed to be covered up by the ego temporarily until certain physical things are accomplished in this world.

So the Self is God and thus there is no duality when we receive intuitions from God through the Self.

That is why we can go no further in saying just who we are:

when we fully comprehend the Self, we will know, and we will be aware of the Presence and will thus know everything, but the knowledge is ineffable and can only be understood experientially and not rationally...
