I have had two experiences this week where I was letting others define me. I had reached out to a couple of people, inquiring as to who I am on this Ascension journey as well as my purpose.
Both responses disappointed me. Why? Well, because I didn’t get the answer I had originally wanted and expected to receive.
So I let myself sit with that for awhile. The disappointment. The pain. Until earlier today when I was in the bathroom. I often receive clarity when I am either in or around water. In fact, people close to me know to listen when I say I received a message in the bathroom as that is the one place I receive most of my Insights.
I had a visual of Neo from The Matrix. He has just visited the Oracle, inquiring as to whether he is “The One”. He isn’t quite sure Who He Is much less what is Role is in his new-found Awakening. Here is a portion of their conversation:
Neo: I’m not the one.
The Oracle: Your next life maybe, who knows? That’s the way these things go.
There are many ways to read this conversation, many metaphors we can follow. However, my point in bringing up this conversation is that, in the end, only Neo can determine Who He Is.
It doesn’t matter where he came from. It doesn’t matter what the Oracle or Morpheus or Trinity or anyone else thinks. Neo and Neo alone comes to the Truth of who he is. (You need to be familiar with this movie to understand what I just said. If you haven’t seen The Matrix, by all means get online and watch it. It is an amazing metaphor for the Ascension/Awakening process we are experiencing.)
