Am I simply the IMAGE which others can see?
She was only 6 years old
confronting her mother one morning
Momy Why did you name me ‘Emily’?
Why do you ask my darling?
I named you Emily after my favored Author
Way before you were born, I was fascinated by her life and her stories
Momy can I change my name?
I want to be named ‘Catherine’
Why Catherine my dear?
‘Catherine’ was another young Elephant
who was very popular among the Elephants her age
and Emily remembered how she thought that
if only her name was ‘Catherine’
others would notice her as well
From the very first moment we are born
our life is shaped by our surroundings
Secretly we want to be those
who are stronger
who are more popular and respected
those who are seemingly smarter
You could even hear some parents say:
why can’t you be like…
your sister, your brother, your niece
But when you grow up,
you may have these habits engraved so deep
into your subconscious
inspired by your environment
you continue trying to be like someone else
even succeeding on some level
but never discovering who YOU Are
Never Feeling Genuine in Your Being
Emily remembered the Ancient Chinese saying:
“Every important path begins by knowing the Ground Beneath Your Feet”
as it also could be translated to
“Every Journey of a thousand miles
begins by your taking the very First Step”
The Ancients recognized the power of ‘Knowing Yourself’
and the power of ‘Taking Action’
But only living in the external, impressionable world
trying to be like others, may not lead to either happiness nor health
Each Elephant is born Unique
Needing the INSPIRATION of OTHERS,
Learning the ways of How
but not to be IMITATING
nor wishing the physical life of OTHERS
Only by being the Better Version of You
and Walking with Confidence towards that
can ever make you feel Complete
and on YOUR PATH
Emily knew that there was still work to be done
Meditation
The path from ain to ani is one of the most important paths
to self identity in most ancient traditions.
from ”non excising” not knowing yourself
to discovering your worth, your uniqueness and your individuality
by reaching ultimate unity as within so with all…
today we inspire this ancient understanding
with the humble experience of basic inner keys
ANi – “I”
AiN – “Non Existent”
DERECH – Road, Path.Way (as referred to both physical and spiritual)
