Finding Myself in Me

Apr 10, 2009 by DianeCorriette

[RE-POSTED] This is an old blog post that I wrote back in August 2006 but I loved it so much I thought I would save it again today.

I can still recall the “AHA!” moment I had a few years ago when after years of searching for something and never knowing what it was I was searching for, after years of personal development seminars, books, CDs, and videos I finally realised all that time I was searching for myself! And this is a great story to illustrate that very fact.

An old Hindu legend tells of an ancient time when all human beings were gods. But the people so lacked appreciation of their divine nature, however, that the other Gods decided to take it away from them. Brahma, the supreme God, wanted to hide human divinity where people would never find it again, and asked his fellow gods to help him find the best place. One God suggested that they bury human divinity deep in the Earth, but Brahma thought they would surely dig deep enough to find it again. Another God wanted to sink it into the depths of the greatest ocean, but Brahma thought that humans would eventall learn to dive deep enough to find it and take it up again. Another God suggested they store it at the top of the highest mountain, but Brahma knew that people would eventually climb high enough to conquer every peak on Earth. Frustrated, the council of Gods decided that there wasn’t a single place on Earth that humans wouldn’t know and conquer, eventually. So Brahma himself began to think of ways to hid human divinity. He thought for a long time. Finally, he said “We cannot hide their divinity on Earth, for they are determined to own all the planet. But if we hid their divinity within their own being, they will never think to look for it there.”

We humans have been looking for our divinity ever since!

About Diane Corriette

I write on this self development blog about building self confidence, and living a life of full self expression where you are free to be you. Being able to be confident is not so much about how you think but what you feel. To successfully build self confidence you must use your thoughts to create an image of who you want to be, and your emotions to help you feel this amazing new you and then visualise & focus on it until it becomes your reality.
