Who do you think you are?

Who do you think you are? Have you ever had this question asked of you? Yet it is most often presented as an exclamation and a challenge, as if you had done something inappropriate for your identity. Yet it is still a valid question to ponder. Do you know who you are? For there is a temptation to think that you are the things that you have acquired, if not material status symbols then education or reputation or prestige. But these too are things that you have acquired, and are therefore a part of your acquired self. I invite you to return to your true self. The spiritual essence you had at the beginning of your life is your true self.
