PART I

Our Essence

1

Soul’s Manifest

In the beginning, there was neither existence nor nonexistence.

All this world was un-manifest energy …

The One breathed, without breath, by Its own power

Nothing else was there …

—Hymn of Creation, Rig Veda

Who am I?

What do I want?

What is my purpose?

Why am I here?

How can I live up to my best potential?

How do I find meaning in my life?

At one point or another, we have all pondered or asked these questions. Maybe they were triggered by a personal trauma or painful event that trickled to the surface from a moment’s flash of stillness. The question, Who am I? oftentimes leaves us with a deeper sense of mysterious wonder. The purpose of this book is to serve as a tool for awakening to the truth of what you already know in your soul but have forgotten.

You see, within our very cellular codes lies dormant the living wisdom of the universe and of the ages - ancient yet ever anew. Locked in the unknowingness of our divine truth, shrouded by the ego’s veil, we journey, lifetime after lifetime, with the hope of discovering the precious key of consciousness that can unlock the subtle treasures of our divine light, forever imbued with eternal wisdom and knowingness.

Accessible to each one of us at this very moment is our deepest self, our true nature within and beyond form, our being, eternal and ever present. Enlightenment, often described as sacred bliss or transcendent union, arises from stillness. Stillness is the presence before the divine thought of I Am. Stillness is.

Enlightenment is when a wave realizes it’s the ocean.

—Thich Nhat Hanh

It is an innate and natural state of connectedness or oneness with our own being. It is not meant to be understood and grasped through analytical observation but an experiential sense, an inner knowingness that flows through stillness and by being ever present in the now.

The experience of our beingness brings with it our own uniqueness, our very presence, and the realization of the essence of I Am. I Am is creation in constant motion. It is the one infinite consciousness. Summoned by many names, it has been known to ancient mystics, prophets, and seers as the eternal beloved, the divine matrix, the great void, the Tao, the impersonal self, our invisible higher and highest self, the name of God, and the Akashic field. This is the unlimited cosmic field of potentiality at the heart of reality and universal intelligence from which arises the infinite consciousness of God and spirit. It is a sea of subtle creative energies from which all things arise: the building blocks of atomic structure, galaxies, living beings, consciousness, and super-consciousness itself.
