When the world is too much with me, my soul screams in the silence. But the silence is still and does not respond. It waits until I can stand still and know that I am. What am I? Who am I? I am Grace wending its way through infinity on this journey through eternity. I am never who I seem to be, but always who I really am. Who is that? I am Life. Life without a subject. Life is the substance of all form. Living is but a byproduct of Life Eternal. A conditioning of the entity causing an entity identity that is but a reflection of the senses. But I am more than senses. Beyond the sense of separation I am beyond any personal sense. Beyond the pairs of opposites that bind me to the world. If I loose myself from the nets of desire, the attachment to personalities, or places or possessions or conditions. Loose myself from judgement, opinion or belief I am free of the myth of me - that false sense that binds me to the world of illusion. This mirage. This dream. The illusion of my senses and the delusion of my mind. All projections are within me. The screen is empty until there is a picture projected upon it. Like a movie. There is no reality there. It is light projected through an instrument that casts its shadow on the blank screen. And I am but an observer. Observing the illusion of someone else. The observer becomes immersed in the false projection and, for the moment, is absorbed into it. But when the lights go up in the theater he returns to himself and is free of the projection. So it is with each of us. This world is but a projection involving our senses and emotions. Free of that we are able to return to the I that I am. But we do not. Alas, we are captured and conditioned by the projection and enslaved to it rather than to who we really are. Break the chains that bind you to this false image and you will see the wonder of an overshadowing presence that draws you home. The Light that dispels the darkness. There was nothing. I of my self am nothing. But in that emptiness is the space for every possibility. Life is the substance. Life, by grace, will lead you to your Self. And you will discover in the depths of infinite eternity the I that I am. I am the I am That I am To Be. Now, in this very moment.
