THE MELDING OF THE DIVINE WITH THE HUMAN

Welcome to Just Be Who You Are, with Paul Reinig. The question I explore in this web site is, just exactly who are you? I will explore this question in depth but first, let me ask you a few questions. When was the last time you felt peaceful within your entire being? How long did it last? What was it that pulled you out of your peace? How satisfying to your soul are all the things you do on a day-to-day basis? In other words, you go to work, you go out with friends, you might have sex with your partner, you take care of your kids, etc. Do any or all of these experiences nurture your heart, bringing you joy and wonder? Or, do you feel that whatever you do is not good enough? That is to say, do you tend to find something to complain about regarding your life's situation and circumstances? Do you feel you just can't get enough of the things you desire or crave?

If you are content and peaceful and in full acceptance of what is in your life then you already know the answer to who you are. If however, you feel discontentment and/or frustration about your life and thus, tend to fantasize about a life much more exciting and fun, then this web site offers you some insight that may help you make more sense out of your current life's situation.

Only you know the answer to the question of who you are. However, what I can do is offer you knowledge and tools that could significantly help you in discovering the answer to that question. That is what this web site is dedicated to do and if anything you learn here speaks to your soul, I can serve as a mentor for you, and I’ll tell you how that can happen as well. All you need to do is read on.

First, what I am calling your “soul” really means Source. Called God by religion, I will simply call it Source so as to stay away from any distracting definitions that may have been placed on that other term. Regarding the terms, “soul” and “Source”, I will use them interchangeably; on this web site they refer to the same thing.

THE NEW ENERGY

The question we as a human race are asking ourselves individually now more than ever before in our history is "Who am I?". A new era has dawned upon humanity. Many are calling it “The New Energy”. It is a time in which we are beginning the process of the divine melding with the human. This new era began in September 2007 and its arrival marked a major shift in the way energy works. The New Energy is expansional, which means the engine of creativity (our ability to create what we truly want) is now fueled by passion (what your soul came here to do). This is fundamentally different from the way creativity worked in the past. Working hard (struggling) to “get ahead” is no longer necessary. In fact, the “no pain, no gain” model simply no longer works. In the New Energy, work is not work at all, it is a joy because what you choose to do is motivated by passion and passion comes from your soul. (For a more detailed explanation of what the divine melding with the human means, see Article 8 in the Articles link).

WE ARE NOT WHO WE THINK WE ARE

The simple answer to the question of who are you is, you are Source. While only you can answer the question about what your soul (or Source) came here to do, I can tell you what your soul came here to be, and that is, your soul came here to be who it is. In other words, your soul, which is Source, came here to meld with the human (who you think and say you are) so that it (the real you) could experience itself while living within a flesh body. That probably sounds confusing. I mean, after all, what is this Source I speak of and what does it have to do with me? And what does it mean that the divine can meld with the human? To understand what I’m talking about I will use this analogy. If you were an actor in a movie, you would portray a character on the screen. And if you’re a really good actor, you’ll be able to identify so closely with the character that for the full length of the screening, you’ll convince everyone who is watching that you are that character. Yet, you know that you are not the character, you are the actor, although during the actual filming you may have been so intensely into the role that there may have been a few brief moments in which you completely forgot you were just acting.

In real life, we are all characters in a reality show but the role we are playing as the human is not who we really are. I call the character an "aspect" of the divine. In other words, who we think we are is only an aspect of who we really are. Throughout several lifetimes we have created thousands of aspects. (A belief in past lives is not necessary in this melding process but it can help clarify why certain experiences show up in your life that have no rational explanation. I will share more about this later). In this analogy of life being like a reality show, who we really are is the actor, not the character we are acting, and the actor is none other than Source, not just an aspect of Source. The reason we don’t understand this or perhaps even believe it is because we are so strongly identified with (attached to) the human character that we’ve been playing all our lives. The character (aspect) is having an experience moment-to-moment but because it is so strongly identified with the role it is playing, for the most part it is not aware of its true essence, which exists at the core if its being, in the heart. We have convinced ourselves that we are the character, when in fact that is not the case at all. Imagine if the actor who plays "Harry Potter" thought that in real life he is Harry Potter. We would all think his acting had gone to his head! Well, this is exactly what our predicament is. As Source, we managed to convince ourselves (in our heads) that we're just a small human. When you consider the ramifications of this, it's quite an impressive accomplishment in and of itself, that the creator of all things some how managed to limit itself to the point of even forgetting who it is! We have created an identity for ourselves and keep that image locked in our heads so we now have a "story" (our history) and everywhere we go we relate to people as that identity.

The truth is, we do not actually live in our heads at all. Who we really are, Source, dwells inside our heart. The heart is our true home. The unconditionally loving being that exists deep inside all of us is in fact who we really are and it is there that answers to all of life's questions can be found. The mind is not capable of such understanding (although it thinks it is). Accepting this so as to identify with being unconditional love is perhaps the hardest thing a human could possibly do because it requires letting go of our current identity (with the mind) and re-connecting to a deeper soul level awareness of knowing we are Source. This means identifying with the heart rather than the mind. This is precisely the intent of this experience we set up for ourselves by creating this planet and then taking on these flesh bodies. We surrounded ourselves with a world that in every direction we look would have us believe we couldn't possibly be Source. This is because we see the world through our minds. We trained our minds to guide us (rather than our hearts). The mind is a wonderful tool for helping us to act on choices made in the heart but it was never meant to actually make those choices. It doesn't understand the heart. In fact, it fears the heart. This is the stage on which we are acting and the question for all of is, under these circumstances, can we remember who we really are? This experience we are all having on the planet is an adventure of the greatest magnitude. You may feel your particular experience sucks sometimes (if not all the time) but the advantage of allowing the divine to meld with the human is that doing so allows your perception of your world to completely shift so you can begin to accept it for what it is. You learn to feel life from the heart rather than analyze it from the mind. With some patience and practice, you can find an emotional balance that allows gratitude and joy to become a mainstay so your adventure on this planet becomes not only acceptable, but preferred! This joy is found in the heart.

OUR CONSCIOUSNESS IS BEGINNING TO SHIFT

The era of New Energy that has so recently been birthed can be seen as a time in which humanity is just beginning the process of remembering who we really are. It is a time of remembering we are Source, not the character we've been thinking we are for centuries. Preparation for this shift began a long time ago but we can definitely see signs of it in particular when we look at the decade of the 1960s when the focus of energy turned towards “peace and love”. The mass consciousness at that time longed to dwell permanently in peace and love. We all know that didn’t happen but seeds were planted in the baby boomers that over the last 40+ years has caused an acceleration of discontentment in which deep inside we have all been growing tired of playing the same old game of ignoring who we really are. It's just not that much fun any more.

During this time, some began to consciously ask themselves “who am I?” Most felt their soul asking this question but were either unable to or simply never thought to bring these deeper feelings into the conscious level. But life's circumstances have caused nearly all of us to stop and wonder sometimes that there's got to be more to life than this daily existence we live. Meanwhile, although the number was small, there were enough individuals who did ask and chose to go inside their heart to find the answer that they have had an effect on the consciousness of humanity as a whole.

Thanks to these few pioneers, by 2007 our collective desire for change had reached a level in which we all chose (unconsciously for most of us) to make the shift into the New Energy. When that happened, our desire to remember who we really are accelerated, so that now we are feeling the need to know who we are more strongly than ever, although most have still not been able to put their finger on just exactly what it is they are feeling. But there is a feeling growing in all of us that is causing uneasiness and even fear. Life isn't quite as predictable as it used to be and our sense of inner security seems threatened. These are the signs of the New Energy and these feelings are compelling us to go within to find a deeper meaning to life.

This acceleration of remembering who we are is compelling us towards an inevitable culmination in which we will all collectively choose to take a quantum leap of consciousness into an entirely new paradigm of existence. This leap of consciousness is being targeted by some to occur in 2012. Although no one really knows when it will happen, there is definitely a general consensus that some type of consciousness shift is inevitable. Our uneasiness comes from not knowing what living in a new paradigm of existence even looks like. How could we if we've never lived in it before? We are being pulled towards something that is unknown and it's causing a loss of security. It's possible that in the years ahead we could witness events and circumstances that will push us collectively into making a conscious choice to remember who we are. Eventually, an entirely new way of existence, one that is not governed by power (which is what feeds the mind) but rather, by authenticity (living in the heart), will begin to emerge.

THE NEW ENERGY MEANS BECOMING AUTHENTIC

If this sounds exciting it’s because it is! Yet the melding of the divine with the human means that we stop playing various roles that keep us alienated from who we are. It means choosing to become authentic and real. That's a scary thought for most of us. Again, we don't really know who we are. What this really means is that for centuries we've chosen to hide our real selves in favor of taking on an identity that has had the effect of convincing ourselves and others that we’re a victim of life's circumstances. This is the feat which Source has managed to accomplish. How we love to share with our friends the latest drama of what happened to us recently. Our love affair with our story gives us a sense of security and acceptance but this is achieved through our feeding on each other energetically. This psychic and emotional support allows us to maintain our sense of identity. Without this, we would experience a loss of identity (which is actually what needs to happen so that the divine can meld with us!).

There is nothing wrong with our need to feed off of each other. It’s what we’ve collectively chosen to experience for eons of time. However, deep inside we are tired of feeding. There's a sense of frustration that's hard to put our finger on. It comes from feeling that we are not free to be autonomous and independent from one another. Feeding on other people for support offers security and comfort to an extent but it also keeps us stuck in a small sense of being which results in an inability to experience the joy of life very often. Instead, we feel controlled by others or are always trying to control others and this causes a feeling of emptiness. Most of us are not so willing to feel this emptiness though. Instead, at the first sign of it we immediately look outside ourselves for a way to fill the emptiness. This is how addictions of all kind occur.

In essence, historically we’ve been continuously looking outside ourselves to find the answer to the question of who we are. We’ve been comparing ourselves to others and have been copying each other, which again, has given us a sense of being normal and accepted but has had the effect of alienating us from our real Self. Without realizing it, we gave up our innocence in the process. When we were children, to some extent we enjoyed the freedom of just being who we are. It was easy to feel joy from the simplest things and we didn't worry about what others would think when we expressed ourselves. But after becoming adults we lost this. Consequently, today we aren't all that fulfilled inside. We strive to achieve external goals but if we should manage to accomplish them it’s never really good enough. We still want more. As time goes on our existence becomes lackluster. Many of us have become complacent, convinced that life is what it is and there's nothing we can do to change it. This is the victimhood I spoke of earlier. The cause of this is our inability to be authentic. The result is seen in all things we’ve become addicted to.

Lasting peace and joy is not possible until we remember we are Source and allow Source to meld with us by letting go of our identification with the character we are playing. Perhaps the addiction that keeps us the most alienated from remembering who we are is our addiction to emotional pain. A part of us actually enjoys playing the role of a victim. But this is just an illusion. There is nothing that exists within our personal world that was not put there by ourselves, that is, by Source. Yet, we prefer to believe we're victims because we cannot believe we’re responsible for a life that sucks! Besides, we have no idea how to live autonomously and self-fulfilled, which is what our experience becomes when the divine fully melds with the human.

OUR ASPECTS

Let me speak again about the aspects of ourselves that we’ve created over the course of many lifetimes. The person we thought we were within each lifetime was only an aspect of Source. And, each aspect created several more aspects within each given lifetime. What I mean by this is, if you look at just this current lifetime for example, there have been times in which life was too much to deal with. In these moments we created an aspect that allowed us to survive the circumstances we found ourselves in emotionally. In other words, staying in the heart in such moments was too painful so part of us ran to an area of our mind that felt safe, creating an aspect, and that's where the aspect remains to this day. This means we actually became split within ourselves. Although only an illusion, the aspect became a real part of our existence. Each time we created another aspect we were in effect alienating ourselves from the Source we are a little bit more. Over several lifetimes we virtually became totally separated from Source. But this separation is actually only an illusion that our minds have completely accepted and therefore the illusion appears to be real. We have all these aspects hanging around and at any given time any one or more of them can pop up and wreak havoc on our emotions.

For example, you may have grown up in a household where expressing yourself was not allowed for whatever reason. Consequently, you created an aspect of yourself that refused to express. The real you wanted very much to be expressed and would nudge you to do so often but the aspect that is convinced expression would not be a good thing popped up at the first sign of a nudge and nixed it. The real you went unexpressed but this allowed you to be accepted in your home environment. Later however, as a grown adult, when you went out into the world and the real you wanted to express, this aspect continued popping up and emotionally preventing you from being Ok with expressing yourself. Fear, uneasiness, nervousness, doubt, all of these feelings creep in and you go back into your emotional cocoon where you chose to dwell because that was safe in your home environment. The emotions which you (in your home environment) chose to attach to the aspect feel real and therefore, although the external circumstances no longer warrant a reason to withhold expression, you cannot make yourself express because your aspects have become ensconced within your being and you've come to accept that they are who you are. Do you see how this is only an illusion? The problem is, this means you cannot be real. The feelings you desire to express are the real you. The illusory aspect is not the authentic you but by choosing to identify with it, it becomes you (or you become it). When this happens often enough, you find yourself in the predicament I mentioned at the tippy top of this home page where you feel discontentment and/or frustration about your life and thus, tend to fantasize about a life much more exciting and fun. Life lived this way is never really much fun because you're always longing for the future, one day when life will some how become better. Or, you're looking back to the past, grasping to remember better times.

Since most of the time we don’t understand where these aspects came from (and we certainly don’t realize we’re the creator of them), we fear them and thus, tend to push them away whenever such aspects pop up. What I mean is, we deny they are there. Unfortunately, the existence of these aspects causes us to also deny the real feelings we have in our heart. This inability to be real gives birth to feelings of frustration because deep down we (Source) know we’re not allowing ourselves to truly be who we are. We know that we should be free to express ourselves in so many other ways than we typically allow ourselves to express. The emptiness from lack of expression is why we choose to involve ourselves in all sorts of external activities and surround ourselves with all kinds of things. As I already mentioned, most of us have created all kinds of addictions, such as being addicted to needing to have lots of material things around us, watching TV, sex, artificial stimulants, or perhaps being addicted to living in the intellect in avoidance of what the heart is actually feeling. Another popular addiction is our attempt to get rid of these aspects once we can finally admit we have them. Some spend hours in all kinds of therapies hoping that sooner or later the aspect about themselves they loathe and are afraid of will go away so that once and for all they'll finally be free to just be who they are without being inhibited by these pain in the ass aspects. I can relate to this so very well. But that which we resist will always persist and so we never really feel like therapy was a success, even if we graduated out of it. And there are so many other addictions. The bottom line is that all these addictions help us to feel something but none of them work to gain a lasting inner peace and joy. That’s because they all serve to keep us alienated from who we really are. As long as we are identifying with who we are not, even when that means trying to fix or improve who we are not, we will be unable to experience who we really are. Aspects control our lives so that we are unable to be authentic. The New Energy is about letting go of all definitions of who we thought we are. It is about no longer allowing ourselves to be defined (controlled) by our aspects as well as anything that exists outside ourselves.

TO BECOME BALANCED, ASPECTS NEED TO BE ACCEPTED AND EXPERIENCED FULLY

Several years ago I made a commitment to myself to break free of my own addictions, particularly to my addiction to emotional pain, no matter what it took. This has proven to be no easy task. The first thing I had to do was accept that what my soul came to do in this lifetime is to break free of the control that all my aspects have had over me. When I was able to accept this, I realized I often had a battle going on within myself between the real me and my aspects. My tendency was to push away (deny) parts of me I didn’t like. I soon discovered that accepting and honoring each aspect within me rather than denying them was the beginning of becoming emotionally balanced. This allowed me to begin loving myself (and others) coming from a place of compassion (compassion means, “come passion”). The more compassion I have, the more I am able to accept and honor even the most difficult to love of my aspects. Once fully loved and accepted, the energy that was hitherto locked inside the aspects now becomes available to serve me in a more productive way. In other words, my passion started to reveal itself. Thus, compassion opened the door for passion!

For the divine to meld with the human fully, it is necessary for us to accept all aspects, bar none. This means experiencing the emotion that is caused when the aspect pops up without judgment and without pushing it away. Accepting it for what it is and embracing it with compassion allows the aspect to balance itself so that it has less of a need to act out (be controlling). This is what the New Energy is all about. It is the process of creating a safe and sacred space within where compassion is birthed and then expands outward in every direction, eternally. In this space, you need nothing and nothing really matters. It is a place of peace and joy. When an aspect pops up you go to your safe space and re-connect to the love that you are. From this place you then embrace the aspect, letting it know you love and honor it, that everything is going to be Ok.

To create this inner space you have to take time to go inside yourself and discover the compassionate loving being that dwells in there. You have to trust me on this—it does indeed exist inside you. This requires a commitment to yourself, being willing to make discovering who you really are your top priority, more important than anything else. To get to this level of commitment takes time but the best thing you can do is start. Be gentle with yourself and allow yourself to falter in your commitment (trust me, it’s going to happen). Set aside some time each day to breathe and relax, thereby calming the mind. This helps you to begin feeling the heart. While breathing, tell yourself how much you love you. Slowly you will cultivate a compassion that will begin to grow and expand and will become a foundation inside you that no one could possibly take away from you. This foundation is your inner Source of security and comfort. The more you find it, the less need you will have to look outside yourself in order to feed off of someone or something else. As you find yourself withdrawing from feeding off of other’s energy, you will also begin seeing how others only want to feed off of you. You will discover that some who you once called a friend have really only been using you for their own emotional support (just as you were once using them, only now you see this while they don’t have a clue). You also will feel nothing but compassion for them, which means accepting them; allowing them to be what they are choosing to be.

It is my passion to share with you that letting go of who you think you are is absolutely possible. It just requires actively choosing to do so every day on a conscious level. Your entire life can change by making one simple choice—to begin loving and accepting everything about yourself at any given moment. True love is saying yes to everything without exception. This intent alone begins the process of the divine melding with the human and causes forces unseen by human eyes to begin helping you to become slowly aware of who you really are. In this process you become aware of both who you are (Source) and who you are not (all your aspects). This process begins slowly at first but gradually picks up speed until one day you discover that you are deeply in love with yourself, which means, with all of life. This is the experience of inner peace and it is this that allows you to feel compassion for all beings. As you develop compassion, you begin to understand what your soul came to the planet to do. This isn't a mental understanding alone. It is an understanding that you feel within your entire being. It is a knowing. This knowing is felt deep inside the heart where we were meant to make choices from. When you make choices from this place of knowing inside your heart, your choices will support your soul's desires 100% of the time.

I developed tools which helped me tremendously in understanding how to love myself while in the midst of experiencing aspects of myself that were causing such emotions as panic, terror, doubt, depression, fear, hurt, spite, shame and guilt (to name a few). These tools helped me to create a safe and sacred space within where peace dwells and I need nothing. When implemented, these tools will not only help you create your own safe space within, they will allow your aspects to come into balance, which will have the effect of making you more authentic and allowing for lasting peace. I have much to share and it is my passion to do so. That is why I created this web site. Here I share my thoughts, products and services. I invite you to spend some time looking over its contents. If something I have can be of assistance to you in discovering what your soul came here to do, fantastic!
