A False Identity

Why do the vast majority look outside themselves for who they are? They look to their education, their job, their spouse, their financial wealth, their body, their sexual prowess, etc. Some even look to "negative" identities like seeing themselves as a victim. It takes courage to look inside, because we believe that what we will find is heinous and sinful. Many people believe intellectually that God is within, but their belief often does not match up to their experience. Intellectually they may believe that God is a loving and non judgmental God, but the willingness to go inside and discover this is not there. For it takes willingness to wade through the false beliefs you have about your sinfulness. It takes courage to bring up, feel, and release the grief and anger that is present from the past, especially childhood. Only by doing this can you see that who you are --- inherently --- not what your parents or society told you are. Only by doing this can you come to see the Love that you are, and as you do this, simultaneously you see the Love that God is. And then He is there, within you, not intellectually, but for Real.
