Who am I?

Who am I? Am I my job, am I my physical body, am I the money I have in the bank? NO.

I am an eternal infinite spiritual being, having a temporary experience in a human suitcase.

Great, but I am currently residing in a human suitcase and that human experience, as I live it now, requires money, requires some way of generating that money and requires a reasonably fit and healthy physical body to have the maximum capability to achieve the former.
I could have jumped into a suitcase that is living in the South American rain forest within a tribe that has never been contacted by the modern world. I could have selected a body that lives in the remote tundra of Kazakhstan. I didn't, I'm in the modern age, living in the West experiencing all the challenges and joys of a modern life.

Here then lies the challenge. How do I be in the world but not of it? How do I bring harmony to the elements of my true spiritual nature and remain sufficiently grounded to recognise that money has to flow, my precious body temple needs looking after and I need a certain amount of 'stuff' in order to support my spirit in its growth and expansion?

In music, harmony is the coming together of several different sounds that resonate sympathetically with each other to make a beautiful melody. We have all experienced hearing something where the sounds do not harmonise, the resulting cacophony is an affront to our ears.

Our journey is to bring the different elements of life together. To be in harmony with each area and bring them together in such a way that our life becomes a Mozart concerto or a Brubeck time out.

Often as we start our journey along a path of self discovery and growth our life begins to sound like a 10 year old learning to play the violin. Things become uncomfortable, any harmony we had feels like it disappeared over a distant hill with it's tail between its legs. It is at this point we are called to keep walking, putting one foot in front of the other. Keep taking the classes, reading the books and doing our deep inner work.
Within us is that eternal, infinite spiritual being. Regardless of how much worldly life we have covered it over with, it is there, it is shining and it is waiting for us to rediscover it and connect with it on the very deepest level.
With practice and love our life comes back into harmony, the 10 year old with the violin has done enough practice to make it to the orchestra in high school and the beautiful music of our magnificent life plays for all to hear.

Today I practice my harmonies. I give attention, energy and motion to all areas of my being and I play my music with love and grace.
In Love. J x
