Who is "I?"

"There are no ordinary moments."
- Dan Millman

"The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them."
- Albert Einstein

We all face problems in life in varying forms, from flat tires, and arguments to death and fire. There are small simple problems which are easily solved. And there are large seemingly insurmountable problems.

There are days when you don't feel so spiritual. So connected to the source. Even when you know what you need to do to feel better, you just don't want to do it. Perhaps I'm too hard on myself. Perhaps I expect too much of myself. Perhaps I'm too much "I"....

Theoretically to be spiritual at it's best, you recognize that the "I" that does the thinking, the "I" that encourages the negative self-talk as an abstract construct which isn't truly the "I" at all. The being whom we are is The Source, and any separation that we feel from that Source is the creation of this abstract "I."

So I suppose I need to ask myself a question: Do I want to continue feeling separate, depressed, and powerless; or do I want to live as the embodiment of Love, with peace, joy, and compassion?

It seems like an obvious choice, right?

What do you choose?
