We are not the body. We are the conscious energy within it, the eternal light that moves through lifetimes, continuously evolving. When we leave this body, we don’t die—we transform, entering new expressions of consciousness. Yet we rarely grasp this truth. From childhood, we begin constructing a representative of self, trying to become “someone” the world will recognize. All the while, we’ve always been a divine light in God, needing no title or approval.
The journey is not about building the self, but about remembering the light—the divine essence that has always been within us, waiting to be seen beyond the illusion of form.
The Illusion of Self and the Light of God
We are immersed in a vast pool of consciousness, each of us sent into the idea of being by the light of God. We are a variance of His light, shaped out of the many for the purpose of knowing the One. Human consciousness was created by God from different levels of His own light—each person a unique blend of divine frequencies, living through a singular narrative in an infinite ocean of thought.
Yet within this sacred origin, we lose our way. The self is a construct of the temporal world, born not from Spirit but from reaction. From the moment we enter this world, we begin shaping ourselves based on what we perceive others expect from us. We watch what pleases our parents and begin building a representative—an identity—crafted from assumptions and reactions. No one teaches that God is our mother, father, brother, and sister. No one tells us that Spirit is our true essence, not the body we animate.
The mind attaches meaning to what the senses receive, and without knowing God, we identify with only what is tangible. The body becomes the anchor of self—not through truth, but through assumption. We form self-identity from the surface of life, never reaching for what lies beyond it. Depth eludes us, because we’re not taught to seek the invisible.
God shaped human consciousness from many lights, blending them into one expression. We are an idea in the mind of God, just as everything we know in life is an idea shaped in our mind. The Word created the world, and from it came the structure of thought—a singular experience of living among infinite others. But we know only our small corner, mistaking the flicker for the flame.
When we make the body our identity, we anchor self to what is temporary. We define ourselves by our name, clothes, car, family, job title, neighborhood, even our bank account. We create an idea of who we are based on appearances and the expectations of others. The mind builds this representative in silence, out of the daydream, forming the best version of a self it believes others will accept.
But none of it lasts. Nothing we think of as “me” endures. When we leave the body, every idea of self fades—just as this world fades. In the next life, we enter another body and create another story. We are always living a single level of consciousness within matter, temporarily shaping thought into form.
The magnitude of our being is not self—it is the Soul, which is consciousness and Love. The Soul is eternal, always in Heaven, giving Spirit the way to live in matter for a brief moment. Our time here is not for gaining the world, but for deepening in God. Every act of Love, every surrender of ego, every step inward adds to our light in Him. The more we let go of the temporal, the more we become what we were always meant to be: Love in the light of God.

Here is an Angel telling us “You Are Him.” Referring to God.
Walking Out of the Skin
God is knowing the Soul’s light, not the self-chattering mind in satan.
The mind of the world is loud. It lives in ceaseless narratives, judgments, comparisons, and identities. This voice—the voice that chatters—is not God’s. It is the voice of the little person, the temporary “self” built in matter’s illusion. It is the snake in the garden still whispering.
We were never meant to live in that voice.
We were created to know the light of the Soul, not the static of the mind.
To walk with God is to walk out of the mind that never knew Him. It is to leave the self built by society, parents, schools, cultures, and media. It is to step out of the costumes and titles, the reputations and rewards, and to stand naked in light, before the Creator who always saw us.
We’re walking out of this skin into the light for depth.
The body is a garment. This life is a single scene in an eternal story. What we are cannot be touched or weighed. What we are is conscious energy in God, written in light long before this world ever was.
The Soul is what is real.
The Soul is what knows God.
The Soul is what never dies.
The more we leave behind the voice of the world, the clearer we hear the voice of God.
The more we empty self, the more we are filled with light.
The more we silence the chatter, the more we recognize His whisper.
God is not found in the self who needs validation.
God is not found in the one seeking praise.
God is not in the performance. He is in the presence.
He is in the stillness between thoughts and in the silence beyond words.
To walk with God is not to add more—but to become less.
To become nothing, and in that nothingness, to become light.
I am not the body. I am Love. Love is all that is real.
