What do we know about anything?
I read a quote today that I love: " Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself." For many reasons, some that are just coming to pass, I have felt like my life has been an unfolding of who I am truly, from the inside and out, and what I have to really show are my creations. Do I really know the impact I have had on life itself? Do I really know when I actually am finding myself, finding others, creating myself, creating others? No I don't because nothing is truly knowable. But to be the one who knows is a creative action in itself. The being and the action coming together is the life creating ourselves. And, if I don't know, then it is the unknown: a space where life creates us, and where we are creating from the perspective of the Knower, the Soul - not the mind and yet the mind being part of the Soul - the one who we are but really don't know quite the magnificence of it and therefore, we create ourselves to discover who we are. Isn't that what many religions and spiritual traditions are about. Isn't that the quote "know thyself and you will know God" means. So life is about creating in order to realize who we are (ie: in order to know the knower, the soul). We need both creation and finding ourselves to know that we are the one who Knows....It is a cycle, a circle, an ever evolving spiral of evolution and expansion. The one who knows, the knower, the soul knows it is evolving, it is progressing and is constantly present guiding us to create in order to live and discover who it/we are as one. This phenomenon might be something completely obvious and known for many minds (many people) on a spiritual journey and it might be completely new for others. And yet, time is irrelevant. What is new for you and old for others is just an illusion of time. What is real is when we have the experience and then the understanding that Life is really about creating ourselves first and then finding ourselves. And what matters is that we know we are the knower, the soul.
