1 Creation From Me
“Who am I?” - A poem
Who am I,
Without this name or these beliefs?
A wave washes over.
An eruption of relief.
Beyond these roles,
fears, and identity,
Something exists.
It allows me to see,
To hear and to taste,
To smell, touch, and think,
To love and to hate,
To eat, sleep, and drink.
Always here,
Beyond emotions and sensation,
Always here,
The source of peace and elation.
Always here,
A joyful emanation.
I am the energy experiencing life,
And as am I, so are you,
Each of us, God-in-disguise,
Simply wearing something new.
1 Quote From Another
Radical spiritual teacher, Jiddu Krishnamurti, urged humanity to awaken through direct perception, inner freedom, and the ending of psychological conditioning:
“If I tell you who I am, what does it matter. ...It is like reading a menu at the window, you have to go into the restaurant and eat food. But merely standing outside and reading the menu won’t satisfy your hunger.”

1 Question For Your Soul
What remains when you strip away everything that was given to you — such as your name, religion, beliefs, education, roles, nationality, personal history, accomplishments, judgments, inherited fears, and societal conditioning?
*Hint: Something remains. Instead of trying to name it, try to FEEL it.
If this resonated, pass it along to someone who might need it today. Let’s grow this circle!
Until next time, freethinkers…stay present, be pleasant, and have an amazing day!
