Who You Are - Who You're Not
by Rev. Michael Torphy

In the daily movement of all that you do and all that you think about do not allow yourself to be hypnotized by the confusion of what's outside of your center. Don't allow your breath to go unnoticed. Don'tmove just to be moving, don't speak just to be speaking, don't let the feeling of your senses pass by without your keen awareness of them. Every second of who you are in this time and space is sacred and should be honored, anything less would be a loss of the sacredness to life - to your life and the lives of others.
You say how can I do this? How can I be so keenly aware of the True Self that is me? How can you not? Your life is a precious gift, God's love given to you so God can experience Itself through the unique way you were created. You are a channel of inspiration not a body of discontent. You are the realm through which the Divine may reflect Itself to those who have forgotten who they are. You are a beacon of light in which the darkness cannot exist. You are a child of the Most High enveloped in the stream of life and created to release the cosmic energy back into circulation, back into the Universe from which it came. You are needed, you are purposeful and you are the place through which love wants to express and radiate Its Supreme Power onto the planet. You must not let who you are be hidden under a bush. Comeforth, be seen and give back the gift that you are. We are living in a time of Spiritual Evolution and every soul is being called forth to reveal who and what they have come here to be. Look in the mirror and see the Truth of your being.

If you can't see it, keep looking it is there. If you still can't see it, let me see it for you. It's not that hard to see the presence of God because God is life and you are alive. God is love and you are love, you are loving, and you are loved. This is the Truth, the Whole Truth and nothing but the Truth, so help me God! So, be the Truth, speak the Truth and live the Truth in every sacred moment you are here amongst your brothers and sisters of the Most High. Know this is so and it will be so, and so it is!

Blessings,
Rev. Michael
