Intuitive Messages To Who I Am

(photo by seabamirum)

I am a sparrow. I am a humble creature with no particular claim to fame. I am not powerful like the eagle, colorful like the parrot or majestic like the peacock.

I am small and plain, indistinguishable from other sparrows. Yet every morning, I announce the dawn. And I don’t just whisper. I sing my heart out.

Although it’s possible that not a single creature will hear my song, I simply use the talents I was given. My strength lies in my self worth. I’m happy with who I am. I don’t long to swap places with the eagle, the parrot or the peacock.

And I am fortunate.

I am the first creature kissed by the rays of the sun each morning.

“I am a sparrow” was what came through, while I was at a workshop for intuitive development some weeks back. During the first exercise, we were asked to introduce ourselves to each other; albeit in a slightly unconventional manner. Each of us was to make the introduction with the help of a book. We were asked to tune in and then to intuitively flip to a page it contained. The book was Who am I by Carmen Warrington. The page “I am a sparrow” was what I read to.

From what was written, my thoughts are that I certainly connected to being happy with who I am. I do not long to swap places with anyone else nor enjoy drawing too much attention to myself. I also feel appreciative for the gifts that I can express by BEing who I am. I am blessed with plenty of love and support from my loved ones and the Universe. My life has been pretty abundant! I am certainly glad to be Me!!

I am Me

Virginia Satir, American Psychotherapist and Educator, 1916-1988 wrote one of the most beautiful affirmation for self. Virginia came up with the following inspired paragraphs in answer to a fifteen-year-old girl’s question, “How can I prepare myself for a fulfilling life?”

I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it. I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself.

I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes. Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts.

I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know — but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me. However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.

I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.

Who I am is Not About What-Is.

While the above words by Virginia Satir are wonderful to affirm to especially if you have low self esteem, “Who I am” goes beyond these descriptions. Ultimately, “who I am” does not come from thinking or can be found in a book or from what somebody else says. It is ridiculous that so many of us use external measures and yardsticks to define ourselves.

Even years of psycho-analysis can only give us information about ourselves and not who we are. What is usually researched upon is about content and not essence. Content about “who I am” is about the information that goes into my age, my life, what I own, my thoughts, my mental state, my finances, my work, my emotions, etc.

We often use language to describe ourselves. But really, words are too limited to capture the very essence of our souls. Words are after all made up of thoughts and thoughts more often than not, do not completely and truly reflect the true nature of things. The only way to knowing who I am is experientially; through BEing in the space of inner consciousness.

Hence, the following words that I have written following the workshop can only reflect “who I am” if I am a bird….its deepest meaning only gained from experiencing….

I AM PRESENCE. I am consciousness,, now in the physical form of a bird. In Body, I am a Happy Songful Sparrow. In Mind, I am awareness in each precious moment of existence. In Spirit, I am consciousness that experiences itself through flight and melody. I am One in Harmony, mind-body-spirit, with all there-is.

On this note, I leave you to remembering who you are at soul-level. As such, comments will be closed to this post. I will be back later this week!
