The Soul’s Quiet Call

Many people on Earth today are waking up with a sense that something is missing. Despite success, family, or outward fulfillment, there's an inner whisper that says: “This is not all there is.”

That whisper is not your imagination.
It is your soul remembering itself.

The journey to wholeness is not about seeking something new. It is about returning to what has always been within you—the divine, radiant truth of your being.

As the philosopher Lao Tzu once said,

“At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.”

Why We Forget: The Sacred Amnesia

When a soul incarnates into the physical body, it passes through what some ancient traditions call “the Veil of Forgetfulness.” In Vedic philosophy, this is referred to as Maya, the illusion of separation. We are born whole but quickly become shaped by social conditioning, trauma, and fear.

From ages 0 to 7, a child’s brain operates primarily in theta waves—a highly programmable subconscious state. During this time, beliefs such as “I am not enough,” or “Love must be earned,” can become deeply ingrained.

Dr. Bruce Lipton, cellular biologist and author of The Biology of Belief, explains:

“The subconscious mind runs about 95% of our life. And most of its programming was acquired before age seven.”

In forgetting our divinity, we are given the sacred opportunity to choose to remember. And in that choice, we grow.

Who Are You Really?

Beneath all roles and labels—mother, friend, teacher, partner, employee—lies something more expansive:

A consciousness that existed before your birth.

A vibration that is uniquely yours.

A spark of the Divine experiencing itself in human form.

The mystic Rumi described it well:

“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”

Signs You're Beginning to Remember

As you begin to shed false identities and return to your essence, you may notice subtle but powerful shifts:

You feel dissatisfied with superficial pursuits.
Success or possessions no longer bring fulfillment unless they align with your purpose.

You are drawn to truth-seeking.
You read spiritual texts, explore meditation, or feel called to nature and stillness.

You start questioning your thoughts and beliefs.
You realize much of what you believed about yourself was inherited, not chosen.

You feel the need to express yourself authentically.
You become less willing to play roles or wear masks.

You feel both discomfort and excitement.
As the old identity crumbles, there is grief—but also liberation.

The Psychology of Identity and the False Self

Psychologist Carl Jung described the “persona” as the mask we wear to function in society. While necessary for interaction, it is not our true essence.

He also described the “Self” as the totality of who we are—including our unconscious, our spirit, our potential.

“The privilege of a lifetime,” said Jung, “is to become who you truly are.”

Modern psychology recognizes the concept of self-actualization, introduced by Abraham Maslow in his hierarchy of needs. At the top of that pyramid is not money or validation, but the expression of one’s authentic self.

Scientific Insight: Memory Stored in the Body

Your body also remembers who you are—even when your conscious mind forgets.

Studies in epigenetics show that trauma and memory are stored not only in the brain but in the cellular structure. This supports the growing field of somatic healing, which helps people reconnect with their truth through the body.

One powerful example is the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, who teaches that:

“The body says no when the mind cannot.”

When we suppress our true selves to fit in, the body reacts through stress, illness, or disconnection. Remembering who you are often brings physical healing.

Practices to Reconnect with Your Sacred Self

Remembering who you are is not a one-time event—it is a daily practice, a lifelong return. Here are grounded, powerful ways to support your journey.

1. Daily Stillness and Reflection

Create space each day to simply be. This allows you to observe, rather than react.

Practice:
Sit in silence for 10 minutes. Place one hand on your heart and ask gently, “What part of me wants to be seen today?” Write down what arises.

2. Breathwork to Awaken Presence

Breath is a sacred rhythm that connects spirit and body.

Scientific Insight:
Studies from Harvard Medical School show that slow, deep breathing reduces cortisol levels, calms the nervous system, and enhances self-awareness.

Practice:
Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Repeat for 5 minutes, focusing on your heart center.

3. Conscious Journaling and Soul Writing

Allow your inner truth to flow without judgment.

Prompt Ideas:

“If I removed all expectations, who would I be?”

“What parts of myself have I silenced to feel accepted?”

4. Mirror Work for Soul Connection

Look into your eyes each day and say:
“I remember you. I see the light in you. I am returning to myself.”

This practice, developed by Louise Hay, is known to help people reconnect to the inner child and build self-love.

5. Connect with Nature’s Rhythms

The natural world holds a mirror to your true essence.

Practice:
Spend time with trees, rivers, stars, or soil. Nature is a living example of effortless authenticity.

Shedding the False Identity

As you remember, you may feel grief for the years lived in forgetting. That’s okay. Honor that grief. Every moment served its purpose in shaping you.

You may also lose relationships, roles, or habits that no longer align with your truth. This is not failure—it is sacred shedding. Just as a snake must release its old skin to grow, so must you.

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Real-Life Example: Maya’s Return to Self

Maya, a former corporate executive, spent 15 years chasing promotions, never feeling fulfilled. After a burnout-induced health scare, she began exploring meditation. What started as a stress management tool became a doorway to deep healing.

Within a year, Maya left her job, started teaching mindfulness to young women, and described the process as:

“Not becoming someone new—but finally becoming myself.”

You Remember, You Awaken Others

As you reclaim your sacred self, you naturally inspire others. Not by preaching, but by embodying truth.

There’s a concept in neuroscience known as mirror neurons—cells that fire in our brains when we observe someone else doing something. This means your calm, authentic presence literally influences those around you to do the same.

You don’t need to convince anyone. You simply need to be you.

thoughts...

The world doesn’t need more perfect people.
It needs more authentic ones.

When you remember who you are, you become a bridge between heaven and Earth. A living invitation for others to return to themselves.

As the ancient text of the Upanishads says:

“Tat Tvam Asi.”
You are That.

You are not lost. You are remembering.
And in your remembering, you are becoming whole.
