I Am The Self

I am the Self, bringer of Light.

I am the Self, bringer of all senses, bringer of Body, Mind, and the World.

I am the Self, divinity is my nature, for I am spread throughout all worlds and they are within me.

I am the Self, the Presence, Shakti, the Lifeforce that knows the way.

I am the Self and I know myself as sentience.

I am the Self beyond even Consciousness.

I am the Self beyond all experience yet containing all experience.

I am the Self, presently manifesting as a sentient being, limited in every way—yet I am also beyond all things and all knowing.

I have found myself through loving myself in another.  My own Self was pleased that I worshipped Her elsewhere and then showed me Her home in my own heart.

Her light blinded me.  Feeling Her awesome power I fell to my knees, and in my humility, she granted me grace and I was made pure, guilts dissolved.  I fell at her feet just wanting to be trampled by Kali whatever Her will.

Then I saw: she was me!

I continue to love my Self in others as I do Her in my heart.

I do not run from pain, for I see Her even more clearly there.  I do not run from grief or depression because they carry me swiftly within to be closer to Her.

I am the Self, knower and lover of all.

I am the Self, sentience, creating, holding, and destroying all forms.

I am the Self, presently embodied as a man.

Yes, I am also just a man like all others in this small world. Yet still my heart is divine.  She lives in me.  My father lives in me. Christ and Buddha all are within me. I am graced by their presence, their life and love.


My work is to help others find Christ within, find Shakti within, find the lighted Void within, find joy, happiness, and bliss within, and when found, to share this good news with others.

It is so easy: Just follow the I-sense within.  Love the I Am, dwell there, and accept all that arises as Her grace.  Do this and you will find God within and you will devote yourself to serving others.

    A beautiful declaration of independence and interdependence that applies to no one and everyone!
    Gratefully

    Dennis, you think there are two Gods? You think you have no divine energy in you? You think that Krishna Consciousness is different from Christ Consciousness?

    Dear Ed,
    Q: You think there are two Gods? A: No.
    Q: You think you have no divine energy in you? No, not without the grace of God. This so called divine energy is easely mistaken by the misleading power of satan (Lucifer).
    Q: You think that Krishna consciousness is different from Christ consciousness? A: Yes, 100%.
    But it is not what I think but what I believe.
    My answer in the first place is my, ‘Symbol of Faith”:
    “I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages. Light of Light; true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man. And He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again with glory to judge the living and the dead; whose Kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets. In one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.”
    I.e.: I do not speak of my own authority. But in the tradion of the Orthodox Church, the Gospels in the Holy Scripture and the unbroken lineage of holy fathers.

    "I do not speak of my own authority. But in the tradion of the Orthodox Church, the Gospels in the Holy Scripture and the unbroken lineage of holy fathers. "

    But see that's exactly the problem. You are not talking from your own personal experience and understanding, but that of tradition and authority. Edji is one of the few people I see who speak from what they see and feel, not what theyve read or heard. And he is certainly breaking free from the usual traditions. I just can't see why you are unwilling to believe or consider that Christ consciousness is the same as Krishna consciousness, besides the fact that scripture says otherwise.
