I always thought 'finding yourself' was when you took time to discover what your core personality was and how to strengthen it. But this isn't so, well at least it's not my definition anymore. Finding myself has been understanding WHAT I am not WHO I am according to my personality traits. It's the what one should be concerned about not the who. And the what is something I've been trying to understand my whole life. I thought being human meant being a mind, thoughts, body and soul and sure this is all true but there's a whole other part. The part that is in charge of the soul- that mysterious part of you that gives you intuitions sometimes. It's the part that runs the whole system. I mean have you ever stopped and wondered how your heart is pumping or mind running? Yes, cells which are made up of atoms and atoms are made up of an electron, proton and a nucleus. But what's giving energy to those particles? That's what I needed to know and not just intellectually but I needed to know it by realizing it. And this is where I couldn't use my intellect, for the first time, to understand something. I just needed physical and mental silence and my breath. John Mayer got it right when he wrote the song Bigger than my body. We are all much, much, much more than our body. We carry the Universe inside. It's quite spectacular, it is indeed!
