The most difficult concept for me to grasp has been determining the difference between "me" and my "higher self". As far as I was concerned, I had one inner voice and it sounded the same whether I was thinking a negative or loving thought. How do I trust such a voice? How do I distinguish what is true from what is false? When the realization came to me it didn't actually come in words, it came as a knowing, an understanding. Let me try to put it into words and then share the meditation that followed.

Our physical brain is a complex, highly effective bio-computer designed for one purpose, to keep the body alive. It, like your desktop or laptop, functions according to it's programming.

We need to learn to distinguish between our true identity and the body we have come to identify with. The power that animates us is our real self, the Son of God. This life we often take for granted and ignore has an intelligence so far beyond the brain's capacity to understand that trying creates anxiety.
