THE FREEDOM OF KNOWING WHO I REALLY AM “I am an eternal spirit Living life in a human form…” Though my mind is busy With its thoughts and projections, As I breathe consciously in This brilliant here and now, I remember my true self to be greater Than these feelings of “I, me and mine”— Far more than all this incessant mental activity, Vaster by far than this small aging body, But one with my own indwelling Beloved, Whose eyes gaze back at me With pure unconditional Love In the mirror of my life’s experiences. I now choose to fully awaken from this Ego mind’s endarkening hold over me— To shed all of my old skin and ways Which can no longer fit or contain This ever growing glorious knowing That I am an eternal spirit Living this life in a human form— Free at last in knowing who I really am.
