This is to be read as a meditation, to deprogram competition mindset and establish a healthy view of oneself. We are all selves in the whole of the Universe, and as such have the privilege of experiencing what it is to be ourselves, as well as the ability to discover who we are not. What follows is channeled from my Highest Self to benefit you in connecting to yours:
I am who I am.
I am me, unique in all the Universe, divinely appointed, time immemorial. From my true self I allow my actions to flow in divine order, fulfilling my purpose in the Universe with every step.
Because I am me, there is no need to compete to become me. I fulfill my role in the universe by being myself. No one else can truly be me, and I cannot be anyone else. No other part can take my role and I cannot take a role that is not mine.
I follow my path with every step, even when I believe I am not doing so. Every misstep tells me who I am not, as it reveals who I believe myself to be. As I come back to true myself, I acknowledge who I am not and use my experiences to inform me of all that is.
The truth reveals itself and those who devote themselves to the truth recognize it in everything that is.
All that is has its opposite. All that I see in the Universe mirrors myself back to me, both in the truth of my being and the opposite of my truth. Every shade of truth and its opposite are expressed in harmony as I choose what to embrace.
I am who I am. Because I am me, I embody the truth of me. No one can take this truth from me. I compete with no one to become it because they cannot be me and I cannot be them. Each is irreplaceable and immortal in the Whole of Creation.
The Universe, expansive and complete, has a place for every part of itself. Because I am only a part of the Universe, I only have my part to play. The rest I leave up to each other part, as we move in divine perfection in the great Circle of Creation.
There is no end, and no beginning, to this circle. I trust that the experience of myself and of the Universe around me brings great joy and satisfaction to Creation. I bless my journey and am blessed.
