Forgetting who you really are

When you have forgotten something, does that mean that it is no longer there, or is it only that you are not aware of where to find it at that moment? You do realize no doubt that the last option is at hand. Forgetting is a great option, since you soon even forget what it ís that you are forgetting, and so are prepared to make the best of it with the things you still have, without immediately experiencing this as a limitation. And this is quite a vicious circle. For example you believe that you can no longer find love, only in special places and in very special circumstances, simply because that is the way you experience it within your approach of that moment in time. And who would hand you the idea this is not true - and would you believe it? Since by now you have experienced your own worldview in a way where you have started to believe that whatever you perceive and your interpretation of it is 'true', and when someone tells you there is another way to look at it, the other person is seen as weird, since what this person tells you does not match your 'reality'. And you see and read and hear about millions of people experiencing the same as you, so what is there to doubt here?

Now when you have forgotten something, what are your options? You can make the best of the situation where whatever it is that you have forgotten, remains absent. Or you can ask someone or something to show you the way to reclaiming whatever it is you have forgotten. You usually start with the first option and make the best of it, since you do not even know what it is that you have forgotten. When you look for solutions, you will look for these with people and things which are likely to offer certain results in a way which you have grown accustomed to. Until you become so tired of looking for things and in places which cannot but offer you the same-old limiting experience which does not really work, that you are likely to come to the point where you say: there must be another way than this'. That is the moment where you are truly prepared to start looking for really different ways of looking at situations, different from the ways which seemed logical and familiar.

Until you reach that point, you will see things through your personality as opposed to the way your inner Self can offer you. You prefer the familiar 'perception' above what seems to you unfamiliar and less attractive 'awareness'. You are likely to believe that what you really are, you should have to conquer, have to get used to, and that it is vague and strange and 'not of this world'. Simply because it is out of reach of your personalities' control.

Ask yourself: what is the 'cost' to me to keep on forgetting, and am I prepared to continue paying that price? For example, very practically: I deny myself inner Peace in order to be able to experience that I am right, is that what I really want? You have taught yourself to value the idea of 'being right', and you will have to discover for yourself that it is not actually, in order to be prepared to change this for a different experience. That is the unpleasant aspect of the process, the rest is very pleasant and very familiar.

When you have forgotten something, you have to have something or someone who tells you what it is that you have forgotten. Despite the fact that you can read in many different places and in many different ways what and how this is all about, the most important step you will have to take is this: find it in yourself once again. People can tell you what it is that you have to look for, but you have to look for it yourself and remember it within yourself. And who knows better than your inner Self how to remember Himself in any given situation ;-) ?
