    Divinity is Your True Identity by Gaylin Read

    Divinity is my true identity! What does this mean? Does this mean that I am not

    just a mother, wife, daughter, my past, mistakes, material success or the lack

    thereof, or the person that lives at the end of the street? Definitely yes! Most of

    us hear the words you are made in the image and likeness of God and in our

    hearing we think that because we have grasped it intellectually that we have

    experienced what this statement means on all levels of our being. We may have

    technical book knowledge and agree with the statement even claiming this truth

    in the moment without the light of experiential knowledge. We may also have

    experiences of being a spiritual being and yet, understanding says that this

    experience of God and our Divinity Identity is much more that just intellectually

    memorizing a principle, knowing the right words and even just having a few

    spiritual experiences. The true experience of knowing our Divine Nature lies in

    the death of who we think we are, who we think God is and what we think reality

    is.

    The lower-self personality interpretation of who we think we are and how we

    relate to our identity must die as we realize the goal of the spiritual path is

    integration with the Higher Self and for this to happen we must die to ourselves.

    The experience of our Divine Nature brings us into direct conflict with the lower-

    self interpretations of who we are and what we believe reality to be. When you

    realize the abilities that exist inside of you and that these abilities are part of your

    Divine Nature you come to understand that you are co-creating your reality with

    all that is. If we believe that our past mistakes define us or if our success defines

    us then we will co-create realities that fall into alignment with our programmedthinking and feeling patterns. The person that thinks that their past mistakes

    define them as a person will wallow in a pit of guilt, victimization and low self

    worth lacking in the true self esteem of the Divine Nature knowing that mistakes

    are part and parcel of the growth process. This person also does not know how

    to forgive themselves for past actions. The person that is defined by their

    success or the lack thereof is the type of person that bases their self esteem and

    worth as a being on a reality of whatever their ideal is as to what they define

    success as. If they fall short of their ideal then their self esteem and their self

    worth plummets because their identity is based upon what they have or dont

    have.

    If we say that we are our mistakes, our success or the lack there of and if we

    identify only with the roles of mother or father as our identity or whatever else

    we might do so to speak then we can say that we are existing in an identity

    crisis. Our Divine Nature is not based on any of these things as these examples

    do not define us as Divine Beings. As a Divine Being we are always worthy,

    forgivable and even always loveable. The Bible gives us an example of the

    importance of this understanding when Moses led the children of Israel out into

    the desert to teach them of Gods Nature, Gods Love and Gods Reality. Their

    identity crisis was so great that they desired to go back to the fleshpots of Egypt.

    Their interpretation of themselves and what they believed to be true of

    themselves and God was so warped that they could only interpret the experience

    of God through their lack of self-love and self-worth. They could not understand

    the perfect parental parenting of the One, and the land of milk and honey that

    God was trying to lead them into.

    The lack of their understanding of Divine parenting and true Godly self-esteem

    rooted in identity becomes very clear as the events and experiences of the

    children of Israel unfold in the Wilderness. The children of Israel had been

    deeply affected by their time in Egypt (3-D) and their identities were so rooted in

    lower self / fear-based / co-dependant / low self-esteem / poverty consciousnessthat this is no doubt why they needed a Deliverer. The children of Israel were

    used to, both the permissive/critical style parenting they received from Pharaoh /

    mass mind / lower self / the world that they could not even perceive that the Most

    High leading them in the wilderness could be any different. They were a very

    oppressed people and this could be seen in their identity crisis in the wilderness

    wanderings. They did not want to talk to God directly because they did not know

    that they were made in His/Her Image and not the fallen image they had been

    given of themselves in Egypt as slaves so they perceived God as they

    experienced the taskmasters of Egypt. They could say that God was with them

    yet they did not know His/Her character to be able exhibit trust in their statementor the experience they were having. They were given to states of rebellion and

    murmuring because they did not trust Gods parenting and this stemmed from the

    fact that they were like children that had been permitted to raise themselves

    without proper instruction as to the true parenting style of God that they were

    being offered as their own by coming into alignment with God and the Godforce.

    The permissive and/or critical parenting style will keep a person in bondage to

  • 7/30/2019 Divinity is Your True Identity

    3/4

    the lower self and will affect how they perceive Gods dealings as a truly loving

    Father/Mother God.

    The lower-self identity is one of victimization, limitation and separation from our

    true inheritance in the Divine. We face the same dilemma today as the

    Sons/Daughters of the Most High God that the children of Israel faced. Most of

    us have either had critical or permissive parenting or a strange combination of

    the two and this has affected our image of God and ourselves. There are many

    that have their identity so rooted in materialism, survival mentality, no purpose to

    life, low self-esteem, top dog/underdog mentality and many other examples that

    this has caused an identity crisis in them that prevents them from seeing their

    true Divine Image. We are kept in the bondages of the lower self and all of its

    interpretations of who we are and what a life lived on Planet Earth should look

    like based on these identifications. Our families, society and the world at large

    reflect this crisis of identity to us everyday. When we lack true Godly self-

    esteem, self-love and an understanding of the critical/permissive parenting styles

    and the relationship of these issues affect our perception of God we will not come

    into direct communication with God and the Godforce nor will we know the Divine

    in us.

    In the wilderness Father/Mother God was trying to give the Children of Israel

    what they needed in order to be in direct relationship with them throughout the

    wilderness wanderings. Our Heavenly Parents along with the Host were trying to

    assist the Children of Israel out of Egypt, and out of their identity crisis as slaves

    in order to bring them into the Higher Dimensions of Reality and their DivineInheritance. They chose to rebel against God and against Moses every step of

    the way. We have the same choice today as to whether or not we want the

    assistance of God and the Hierarchy so that we may die to the lower-self

    interpretations of self, others and reality. If we are willing we will be led into the

    curriculum that is part of the training of this Grand Mystery School we call Planet

    Earth. God and the Hierarchy will assist us to begin the conscious work of dying

    to all our false interpretations of identity and reality.

    To do this we need to learn to distinguish between the negative ego / lower self /

    fallen image and identity and the true Spiritual / Christ / Higher Self Image andIdentity of God. If we trust in the process and the instruction that we receive to

    come into alignment with God and the Hierarchy we will come to know Aumkua,

    the perfect parental self, as the Hawaiians would say! Coming to know the

    perfect parental parenting of Father/Mother God will lead us to the understanding

    that we are to be neither permissive nor critical in our parenting styles with

    ourselves or others. This imbalance can be seen today even amongst our
