Who Am I?

When I was a kid my big question was, “Who am I?” After a while I realized that the answers I was getting were all too cynical for this peewee optimist. I still don't have it all figured out, but perhaps you'd like a look at my findings.

The way I see it, it's all about energy. Ask your local physicist and he'll tell you that the matter you call your body is comprised of particles that equate to pluses and minuses or electrical charges. It is energy, he will say, and energy can be changed but never destroyed. Our life, our brain and our planet are a series of electrical impulses manifested as radiation, magnetism, polarity, light and sound vibrations. The Cosmic and Physical Laws that operate and hold the so-called “material” universe together are gravity, centrifugal force, inertia, adhesion, and cohesion, etc. All of these are the result of polarity. Defined in physical terms, polarity is pure potential. In metaphysical terms it is infinite possibility. What a great substance from which to form a universe! It seems the metaphysical finally has “come to terms” with the physical.

I hope that this has you all charged up. (Insert apology here for bad pun.) If you need more facts, consider this: The Russians developed a process whereby they could photograph the energy field surrounding the body. They call it Kirlian photography. This energy field vibrates at a higher rate and is thereby differentiated. Kirlian photos have shown where a hand with a missing finger will show the finger's energy field still intact—sort of like a radiant blueprint of the original. This is proof of the auric body.

So now let's gather the facts. There is a human body comprised primarily of space and electrical impulses. If “particles” were defined as matter, the accumulation of all the matter in a body, minus the empty space, could be condensed to fit on the head of a pin. Further, looking through an electron microscope at the nucleus of an atom, we can see through it. Add to this body, an auric field that changes colors, size, shape and intensity according to the mental and emotional energy going on within the individual and we're only starting to come up with a composite of what we are made of and how we really look.

Some experiments were performed where scientists were able to move parts of the body by electrically stimulating specialized, isolated parts of the brain. Let's address the brain, that biological computer that regulates our autonomic system, stores phenomenal amounts of memory and sorts through it for answers to questions we pose. What an amazing tool! Even the best internationally known physicists can't answer the next question: Who operates the brain? Famed author and endocrinologist Deepak Chopra says that the answer remains unanswered in the field of science. My belief is that I operate my brain, but Who am I?

The next time you look in the mirror, instead of counting hairs, pounds or wrinkles, pause and reflect (what else would you do in a mirror) on who and what you are. Am I a mind, existing in what Einstein called the unified field, connected to all of the intelligence of the universe, past, present and future? Am I creating my experience by making choices? Am I transporting myself in a wondrous, multicolored, etheric body?

We all are swirling through space, unscathed through planetary mine fields at astronomical speeds, perfectly balanced by physical and spiritual laws. Who I am is energy. Who I am eternally is pure consciousness. Feel energized!
