Finding oneness

WHO AM I?
Who I Am is Beyond Imagination!

Uncovering who I am reveals
a reality capable of fulfilling my dreams.

Happiness is connecting me with something more than myself. It's a mistake to think that my exterior reach is all that's needed to satisfy me and quench the yearning. In constantly moving out, I often fail to recognize that the move is actually to fulfill an inner need. In my drive, words and thoughts are required, but I know something beyond them is needed to fill the void. That extra something is a personal experience of inner fulfillment. Could I be joined to what I want in a way beyond my normal ways? Beyond my current imagination? Is it possible to not only join it but to be identified with it so that my deepest urges are fulfilled? I know my yearnings are deep and wide.

Albert Einstein said, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." Einstein refers here to a higher level of consciousness, a superior level of being. I am driven to seek what I think is good for me. If I am sincere I have to want whatever it takes to get me there. The drive to goodness is really a desire to love and to be loved. Percy Shelley phrased it this way in his poem, "Love's Philosophy:"

"Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
  In one spirit move and mingle,
Why not I with thine?

  See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
  No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother."

More than anything else, it is love that moves me and attracts me to happiness, to oneness. I can be one only by a loving openness within me to accept it. Every positive feeling, like joy, praise or appreciation, is rooted in love; and every negative feeling, like fear, anger or jealousy, hides a desire to be loved. Whatever I do, SEEING IT AS GOOD, cannot be denied. I see it as good for someone or something. If I get a true picture of myself, it has love for its frame and opens out to mystery.
