A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY!

       The identification with the body, and its subsequent belief that we are our bodies and human, is why Jesus scolds the apostles when they are in fear.  Jesus asks them, “have ye forgotten ye are gods”?  Have we forgotten we are gods?  We volunteered to come to this earth.  We came to serve one another on this amazing journey; to love one another; to experience the physical and all the senses; the good and the not so good.  We kept hidden from this physical vehicle the truth.  The truth that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience.  But hidden is not lost.  The knowledge is always available to us.  The knowledge is hidden in the deep dream of Adams sleep from which we will all awaken.  This dream, this sleep, is a necessary component in the game of life.  Without it we would not feel the urgency of situations, or the desire to participate in finding solutions.  We are not now nor will we ever be physical.  It is only our attachment, or our identification with the body, and this physical world that allows it to feel “real”.  Our body is created like the avatar we use in video games.  Created is finite.  Ashes to ashes!  Dust to dust.  We are spirit. Infinite and eternal.  We shall move on to ever more experiences eternally!  I remember a teacher who said that as we enter the gates of heaven, we leave our baggage at the gate; only to pick it up again when we return to the physical.  As we step time and time again into the physical, we step into the energy trails of our other incarnations.  We use that information to build our new body.  Cora Richmond calls these many incarnations embodiments; taking on a body.  We are not the body!  WE are spirit, eternal and infinite!    Namaste! emmy chetkin
