You’ve heard the cliché fable. Some determined seeker climbs a perilous, giant mountain peak in a distant foreign land. He reaches a cave where a secluded, wise old hermit sits meditating.
He asks the old hermit, “What is the secret of life?”
Followed is a variety of vague, punch-line answers.
You exist in more than one dimension. Your being is multi-dimensional. I want you to think about what that means for a moment. Recite the alphabet right now. Where do you experience the familiar sing-song sequence of letters? If you are like most people, you hear it, or say it, in your head.
The letters exist in your head.
Right now when you think about the letters, they exist in your mind. Even if you were to write the letters on a piece of paper your only knowledge of that paper will come to you through your senses and exist in your mind. We often identify our physical bodies as the center of our being because they are easily identifiable things that we control. We experience pain, pleasure, all of our emotions and senses through the body but is it really who we are?
If you cut off your arm, is the arm still you? Or do you identify it as a functioning part of your body? We use it as a tool. As we experience, the body converts all of the things we experience into energy. The mind interprets all of the data from our senses into energy. Our true being, what we really are, is composed of energy, our memories are energy, and our experiences are energy.
We are energy beings.
