Have you been introduced to your spiritual identity?

Carolyn Hill

If you were asked to make a list of your most valuable assets and possessions, would your identity be on that list? Probably not. Maybe you don't even think of identity as a "possession." But it is, when properly understood.

For the most part, people identify themselves by who and what they are physically and emotionally. Such identification can range from dull to witty, plain to gorgeous, skinny to overweight. Many times there's either too much or not enough of what people would like to be.

As long as the way we view ourselves remains at the level of matter and of a physical body, we're open to problems because material identification is vulnerable to change. But once we're willing to look beyond the physical picture, a new image of ourselves emerges.
