Who is the Real You?
Who are you NOW?

I have no interest in what you do for money, your job. I want to know about your highest aspirations and your daily sharing of love in your life.

I have no interest in your age. I want to know about your maturity and if you are ready to be yourself even if it sets you apart from others.

I have no interest in your astrology, I want to know if you believe in grace, the freedom of the soul and transcending such 'marks' of time.

I have no interest in your past but rather how you view your past. I want to know if you have learned to let your past free you or if you have hammered the links of your life into a chain that binds you into the hell of your own creation. I want to know if you have touched your deepest pain and courageously understood it and grown stronger and more open to life because of this, or have you retreated from those interactions and built walls around your heart to avoid more pain.

I have no interest in your scars or your anger but I want to know if you have learned from your wounds and experience sufficiently to span the space between your heart and mine or anothers and empathize with all beings without judgement.

I don't have an interest in your past failures but I want to know if you can live through challenges, yours and mine, and instead of falling into despair, lift your eyes to the stars, smile with the delight of eternity and laugh with an arm around me and tell me that failures only give us more of a chance to succeed.

I have no interest in your coping habits, but I want to know if you enjoy life to its very core and howl with delight from the center of your being and if you can dance wildly along the walls of convention letting the energy of love and joy fill you to the very brim and overflow to all those beings around you.

I have no interest in whose company you keep, but rather if you are happy when you are alone with yourself with only you as a companion.

I have no interest in the masks you have worn or wear upon occasion, but I want to know if you are ready to be yourself, even if being who you are places at odds with others who want you to conform to their judgements. I want to know that you are strong enough to bear up under the lies and misperceptions of others and remain true, faithful to yourself, your own truth.

I have no interest in what movie stars you find are beautiful, but I want to know if you have learned to find beauty in a valley of roses in winter, or to see beauty in the being of someone who is crippled, fat, emaciated or old.

I have no interest in your particular complaints, but I want to know if you can feel the love of heat in the middle of a drought or the delight of water in the middle of a flood. If you can walk through your own pain and not use it as an excuse to be cruel to others.

I have no interest in where you have studied, or what, or with whom, but rather what comes from the wellspring of your consciousness and what you would teach me if teaching me were teaching your infant self. I want to know your sustaining dreams, your deepest delights, your epiphanies upon sun filled days and dark moonless nights.

I have no interest in your gender but I want to know whether you have transcended it and can love both men and women as your brothers and sisters, as individuals celebrating their uniqueness.

I have no interest in the color of your skin or your ethnic background but I want to know if you have transcended your phenotype, your outward appearance and realized that there is only one human race, that all people can marry one another and and have children together so they are all members of this race. I want to know that you know that all people are equally worthy in the eyes of Great Spirit which are eyes of unconditional love.

I have no interest in those statements about what you can't do, but rather I am interested in hearing about those seemingly impossible things that you are going to do even though they seem unattainable.

I am interested in knowing about the you that you really are, the person that you choose to be for the rest of your life knowing that tommorrow never comes, yesterday cannot be revisited and we always have and will only have today and that every moment is a now in which we can make those choice. This moment is the defining moment that determines who we are. The moment we live is the now in which we can choose to be our highest self. I want to know about your highest self.
