Who are you?
There is an old parlor game where the hostess hands out paper and pencil and asks everyone to answer the question, "Who are you?". Some of the answers are very revealing. "I am the sales manager at Wilson Beverages." "I am a wife and mother." "I am a cancer survivor." "I am a widow." And so on.
We say things like, "My arm is sore.", "My ankle is swelled." If you say, "I have a body.", does it seem to be a sensible statement? We say things like, "Sometimes I think I'm losing my mind." If you say, "I have a mind.", does that seem like a sensible statement?
If "you have a body" and "you have a mind", who are you? Who is that entity which wakes up every morning and says, "I'm back."? Who has the capability to say, "I Am."? It's not your body. It's not your mind. What aspect of you is self-aware? Try this:
Creators create.
Anything created in the image of a Creator is a Creator.
Creators create.
Among other things you are a creator. You create all the time. You can't not create. It's what creators do. You create your thoughts. Thoughts you create lead to actions you take. The thoughts you think; the words you speak; the actions you take are all energy-events. Everything in the Universe is energy and everything in the Universe responds to energy.
You and your Karma create your life circumstances. Your thoughts make you a generating station. They radiate from you like ripples in a pool. Every happening, every person whom you find in your environment was drawn there because of having a resonance to your thoughts. There is no chance nor accident in human affairs. No one has ever been the victim of others.
