We often reduce human being to their opinions, beliefs, mistakes and shortcomings, we forget their humanity and their hurts. We blame, shame and criticise them, make them small, insignificant, and sometimes even dehumanise them, and make them the enemy. Our thoughts and beliefs take over our essence, our presence, and so we create misery for ourselves and our world.
Move from the wrath of I am good and I am bad into I am...
Recognise your true essence beyond labels.

Real peace arises when we come to a place where we neither need to attack other's perspectives nor defend our own perspectives. We discover our identity beyond beliefs and perspectives - which is the same identity we all carry with us.

I am the oneness that I was.
Billions of years ago, I split myself into many. I created "you" and "me." I entered into delusion.
Then I began to compete with myself.
I gathered myself into tribes and communities.
Yet I still kept parts of myself away and separate: the "others." I divided myself into more and more labels - even based on the variation of my skin color. I separated, fought, and competed with those parts of myself that I saw as separate.
Now, I am rediscovering who I was,
The oneness that I was,
The oneness that I am.
Through separation, I have rediscovered my oneness with all of life.
That knowledge could not have been known without the first separation.
My delusion is finally coming to an end.
With gratitude, I am returning home.
I am EVERYTHING that you see.
I am the cause of all the world's problems.
I am also the healer of all wounds.
I am the wrath of the world.
I am also the joy.
I am the agony.
I am also the peace.
I am the darkness.
I am also the light.
I am the nothingness.
I am also everything.
When we embrace all of who we are, we will find peace within and compassion and gratitude towards others. We gain access to forgiveness of ourselves, others, and the world. We gain access to Agape - universal love. We enter heaven on earth - finally. Our final destination. We return home.
How liberating is it to identify oneself with that which is impermanent, fleeting or based on your environmental conditions. What is your permanent identity that does not rely on external circumstances?

The more you become you, the more of you, you become, the more you attract those aligned with who you truly are, and the more you repel those who are not aligned with you. You built networks and communities that truly support you for who you are, and your causes.
