Meditation: Who are You?

(I had the pleasure of doing the meditation several weeks ago at Atlanta Unity. Some commented that it helped them to remember...)

Good Morning. It’s our time to get still and to remember who we really are. So let’s quiet the outside world for just an instant.

Let’s imagine ourselves sitting not in this building, but in an open field. You hear the quiet creek behind you. You feel the cool breeze across your forehead.

And as you sit quietly, you see a person walking toward you. And yet there is something about this person walk that seems so alive, there something about their presence that seems so joyful.

And as the person comes closer, you feel from inside of you this rush of joy, this rush of love, this rush of acceptance. And as the person stands before you, you feel yourself engulfed in a wonderful, joyous light.

And you ask, “Who are you?”

And in your mind you hear the answer, “I am you.”

And in this moment, you once more feel that rush of love, your cup runneth over with joy and you ask, “You are me? But how?”

Once more, you hear the answer, “I am you. I am the you that God created. I am the you that you are always. I am the you who loves as God loves, I am all that you are.”

“You judge yourself not worthy. This is not true. You think you sin. This is not true. These are but idle dreams of a sleeping child. They are nothing. You are me, always me, always as God created you.”

And you ask, “How do I see you always?”

You hear the response, “Uncover your eyes and you will see as God sees. You judge your brothers as unworthy. This is not true. You think you see their sins. This is not true. As you see your brother you will see yourself. And as you see yourself you will see your brother. See your brother now as God sees him and you will see yourself, you will see me… always.”
And in quiet right now, you feel the love surrounding you and in silence experience that love now.
…
I am love, for that is how God created me. I am love, for that is how God created me. I am love, for that is how God created me. And so it is. And Amen.
