This morning while I was meditating I was contemplating what I am. First you have to start with what you are not. I am not my body. I am not my life. I am not my ego. I am... awareness. When I began to contemplate
awareness I saw the energy which is
me as all these threads of energy. Each thread reaching out and touching and weaving within other threads of energy.
To further explain this let me use these words and perhaps it will make sense.
I plant a flower in the garden. My thread of energy goes into the plant and the earth around it (and also goes into the gardening shop and therefore touches all the people there as well...) and a butterfly rests on the plant. My thread of energy goes into the butterfly.
The butterfly is eaten by a bird. My thread is now within the bird. The bird flies over to the nearby mountain (that I've never personally visited) and my thread is now in the trees there. The squirrels which lives in the tree is now touched by my thread of energy. They go to other trees to collect nuts and take my thread with them, adding it to those trees.
Do you see how we are not ourselves, but rather we are All-That-Is. We are all touching everything on this planet and the planets beyond us. We are completely expansive.
So think about this... when we pollute, we are polluting our Selves. As we ARE this planet, we ARE all the critters and flowers and dirt and clay and and and...
What am I? I am awareness. I sit in meditation and I see... I see the connection of All-That-Is and I recognize it as all of us. We are one. We are not small... we are energy which touches and creates everything.
As I was sitting in meditation I felt this enormous expansion within my heart chakra. I could feel my Self threading within all of the planet and beyond. It was a very awe-inspiring and humbling experience.
