How Do I See You?*

When you’re looking at yourself in the mirror,

or even when you’re visualizing yourself in your mind,

what are you seeing?

Pondering that question, it occurred to me

that it might be informative and helpful

if I shared my vision of you.

In other words, when I’m talking with or visualizing you,

what am I seeing?

What’s the vision of you that’s playing out in my mind?

By ‘vision,’ I don’t mean some theoretical vision

or idealized perception of you.

No, I mean my actual, real, genuine vision of you:

what I see when I’m actually looking at you …

through my physical and multi-dimensional eyes.

Let’s start with the physical you—

that’s the first ‘you’ that registers on my eyeballs and takes form in my mind.

First, of course, I see your physical form, your human face, etc.

Frankly, though, that vision swiftly moves to the background.

Immediately, the ‘you’ that is energy appears in front of my waiting eyes.

It’s as if your physical form almost disappeared,

opening an invisible door for me to see beyond it,

to peer into your personal

energy field—

where your vast life force, your electro-magnetic resonance

and your personal energetic world reside and roam free.

Your helpful soul then takes over the reins, showing me your chakras,

including your emotions, personal power, heartful love, etc.—

all the energies that it believes are important for me to see.

Quite quickly, your energy field yields its place in the spotlight,

becoming remarkably translucent and ushering me

into another facet of you: your personal human consciousness.

Once here, your conscious, sub-conscious and un-conscious minds

allow me an intimate view of their styles of awareness,

their thought-based uniqueness and their intricate inner workings.

I see the masterful nature of your human consciousness:

its special strengths, its distinct possibilities

and the genuine ways it supports you in your life.

Quickly, my waiting vision enters an even more expansive zone.

I am given a remarkable treat: that of seeing your spiritual self.

What a marvelous sight your precious spirit is!

What a brilliant and magnificent being of light you are!

I’m immediately introduced to the vivid ‘you’ that is your radiant spirit,

your pure light, your spacious presence, your sheer essence.

I instantly connect with this translucent source of light

that is now, and always has been, so present

to the human version of itself (you!).

After digesting the feast of these above “you’s,”

could there be anything more or better to appear before my eyes?

Well, apparently … yes!

I am quickly introduced to your quantum nature—yes, the quantum you!

In this view, I first see the ‘you’ that occupies the quantum realm.

Here, I’m allowed to view the unique possibilities

that are currently playing out in your field,

sometimes inviting themselves into your human experience.

Finally, I feel invited into your personal depths,

where the unfathomable quantum void itself is to be found.

This invisible you is your quantum source,

your essential power, your most fundamental presence.

It’s the invisible ‘power-behind-your-human-throne,’

the power of creation itself that occupies your core

and dreams the human you anew every day.

Here, this magical source dreams itself in many forms.

First, it dreams itself as the pure light that we call your ‘spiritual’ self,

creating the form of pure light and calling it the spiritual you;

and, then, gifting the ‘human’ you anew

with an abundant dose of aliveness, energy and consciousness.

------------------------

As you can see, this vision of you is a true delicacy!

Let’s face it. You are quite a remarkable sight!

Your multi-dimensional nature is nothing short of impressive.

With this multi-leveled view of you,

every cell in my being has but one choice: to be in awe of you—

to treasure, admire and celebrate you.

Yes, no matter what the human version of you is going through—

no matter how challenging or tough your human life may be—

the human you is not alone, ever.

It’s one beautifully unique slice of a many-sliced, powerful pie—

a holistic pie filled with amazing and powerful bigger “you’s.”

Filled, for example, with an energy-rich you,

a consciousness-abundant you, a light-filled spiritual you

and an ‘everything-and-nothing’ quantum you!

These amazing versions of you are as much a part of your identity

as is your specifically human self.

These bigger-than-life sources of you have their invisible finger

on the power switch of your personal energy.

They are daily at the service of the human you.

And they are, just as I now am, always loving and celebrating you!

In that spirit, here’s the real question of the day:

How do you see yourself?

Pause and think about that question for a moment.

Are you, as I am, aware of your multi-leveled,

multi-faceted, multi-dimensional ‘self’?

Or, is your self-concept primarily that of a typical ‘human’ self?

If so, are you relating to yourself as a ‘regular’ human being,

probably feeling disconnected from your bigger nature?

Whatever your response to these questions,

let’s look at why I felt moved to share my vision of you with you.

Two answers to the ‘why?’ question appear to me:

first, in order to remind you of who you really are,

even if my vision flies in the face of our humanly trained belief

that we are but stereotypic, limited humans,

cut off from our internal strengths

and our external spiritual and quantum power.

My second reason is to invite you to ‘wake up’

to a bigger truth that resides within:

that you are a multiple-layered presence—

a quantum emptiness and possibility,

a being of pure essence and radiant light,

a vast consciousness that spans several dimensions,

a vital energy and life force filled with mostly untapped power

and an earthy, physical self, teeming with primal wisdom.

These above words describe who you really are—

the really big, big YOU!

The holistic, multi-dimensional YOU!

It seems to me that, if we sport any self-concept that is less than that,

we are thereby creating an unconscious set-up

for personal frustration and pain.

Have you forgotten who you are?

Even if partially? Even if sporadically?

Is it time to remind yourself to wake up anew to this deeper truth?

Is your all-knowing soul now reaching out to you,

inviting you to embrace the ‘real you,’

the expansive you, the multi-dimensional you?

Better yet, is it time to invite yourself to the same experience,

the same reaction, that I have as I look at you:

to embrace every aspect of your many-layered self,

especially your stereotypic human self,

with deep respect, genuine admiration, total non-judgment,

heart-filled love and sincere gratitude?

To be in a state of spirit-filled awe at the very wonder of your presence?

To treasure and celebrate the awesomeness that is you,

to admire your created wonder

and to be filled with renewed gratitude

for the privilege of being this bigger-than-life gift?

In closing, I love you!

Thank you for being the amazing and awesome ‘self’ that you are!

And thank you for allowing me to see you!

Quantum Source ... Quantum World ... Quantum Void ... Quantum You!
