Who Am I?

A question that seems simple at face value but one that many find challenging to answer.

As someone who is profoundly motivated and inspired by purpose and creativity, I have often found myself contemplating the deeper questions and meaning of life. When you look at the vastness of the universe, the intricate complexities of nature, or the marvels of the human body, one cannot help but ponder, who am I?

At the core of this question lies a deep curiosity about the nature of existence and the forces that brought everything into being. While science offers powerful tools to explain the mechanics of our universe, it is the beauty, order, and intentionality evident in all things that point to a Divine Intelligence. While, intrinsically vast, complex, and purposeful, this Intelligence is merely a facet of the Supreme Creator, whose potentialities are limitless. How could one possibly begin to understand such a, seemingly, unconceivable Source of Divinity?

Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”

So, who am I? Who are you? Surely, we can not claim to understand the beginng, middle, and end if we cannot, first, even understand ourselves. Are we not all but travelers on the Hero's Journey?

Beyond what you identify as (personally, professionally, religiously, philosophically, ect..) at your core, you are an energetic being. All things within the Universe are matter and all particles of matter are in a constant state of motion, a mode of vibration. Every vibration produces its own frequency, or pattern, which is determined by the speed or rate at which the motion vibrates. The pattern of vibration is what determines the particle's form and function. As Einstein said, everything in life is vibration. Things such as thoughts, emotions, and even the subatomic particles that compose our physical world are all governed by this fundamental principal.

Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

The Holy Bible’s opening words reveal a profound truth: God, the Divine Creator, established the trinity of all trinities, the continuum of time, space, and matter. For the universe to exist, all three had to come into being simultaneously.

"In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)."

Time: past, present, and future.
Space: length, width, and height.
Matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

This structure reflects the intentional design of a Creator outside of time and space. Just as a computer exists as a product of its designer, yet the designer operates outside of it, so too does God transcend the physical universe. The Creator must be omnipresent, supreme, and intimately involved in all things, while also existing independently from the created order.

For example, consider the human eye, a marvel of engineering that captures light and translates it into images, allowing us to perceive the world. Its complexity defies the notion of random chance. The intricate interplay of muscles, nerves, and lenses working together to produce vision reflects intentionality and precision. Similarly, the DNA that encodes the blueprint for life is a language far more advanced than any computer code, a testament to the ingenuity of a Creator.

How could such intricate systems arise by accident? To attribute these wonders to randomness is to ignore the profound evidence of purpose woven into every cell, every organ, and every function of the human body. If every subatomic particle of our being has a purpose how could one possibly rationalize that our lives, as a whole, do not?

Yet, still, the concept of purpose can feel as if a heavy burden to bear.

The historic philosopher, Aristotle, described humans as "rational animals," emphasizing that our capacity to think, reason, and question is central to our nature. He believed that the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, through the contemplation of higher truths, is humanity's highest function. Furthermore, Aristotle’s philosophy of telos (the idea that everything has a purpose or end goal) offers insight into the nature of existence. He explained this through the metaphor of a knife.

'The function of a knife is to cut, and its design reflects this purpose. A knife without sharpness or an edge fails in its function and, thus, its purpose.'

If we apply this logic to the universe and humanity, it becomes clear that everything has a design and a purpose. The intricate patterns of the universe, the human body's complexity, and even the smallest organisms all function within a greater system of interdependence and order. A world that exists merely by chance would lack this kind of purposeful cohesion.

From this perspective, human beings, too, have a purpose. Aristotle argued that the ultimate purpose of humanity is to achieve eudaimonia, a state of flourishing or well-being. To live in alignment with this purpose requires wisdom, virtue, and a connection to the greater whole. For Christians, this idea resonates with the biblical call to live a life in harmony with God’s will, reflecting His image and fulfilling His purpose for creation.

The function of a knife points to the intention of its creator, just as the function and design of the universe point to a Divine Creator. Just as a knife’s sharpness reflects its purpose, so too does the universe reflect the purposefulness of its Maker.

Matthew 7:16-20 "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

So, who am I?

I am an energetic, spiritual, being, created by design and with a purpose by the Most High God.
My creator will ultimately judge the sharpness of my knife by the fruits of my life. Are my thoughts, beliefs, words, and actions in alignment with the 'Higher Truths'? Not 'my perceptions' or 'my truths' but, rather, the truths that are in harmony with nature, universal law, and God's will for my life?

Everything in life is vibration. The vibrational patterns, or frequencies that we emit into the universe will either help or hinder, not only our self, but the collective consciousness as a whole. Everything, and everyone is connected. We are all interwoven into the fabric of the cosmos.

This is the foundational Law of the Universe. The Law of Divine Oneness.

I am you. You are me. We are one. And we are 'Home' when we awaken to, and align ourselves with, the light, the miracle- Christ Consciousness, born within.
