First thing to say is this isn't a blog about manifesting your dream partner or Maserati!

But my invitation is to pose this question:  
### What If you weren’t who you thought you were?

But  a big THANK YOU to @atmosblack for re-kindling my enthusiasm and delight for A Course In Miracles. I highly recommend his articles, one of which is [HERE](https://steemit.com/spirituality/@atmosblack/a-love-not-from-this-world  )

What is Lack thinking?

It is a simple case of mistaken Identity.

We take ourselves to be a physical body, which by nature appears to have a limit; a boundary.

If you were to look upon the body of someone who has passed away, it would be immediately obvious that the very thing that made them, them, as it were; the animating force – the 'Paul' of Paul or the 'Mary' of Mary, is simply not there!
Yet before your very eyes lies the form you understood and took to be them, yet there is certainly no identity apparent in this somewhat inert flesh and bone.

So, did the identity, the Animating force die too? No.  *And it Cannot.*

Whilst this is far from a comprehensive illustration, it is a simplistic way to expose a profound Truth….
What we are is *not contained in within a physical apparatus and limited to its boundary*.

#### A body may indeed *seem* to offer a worldly experience, but is experience itself really body dependent?

In our association with the physical, we adopt the idea that, not only *are we* inside this body, but our very existence relies upon that body, and the natural assumption that follows: Should the body die, we too will perish.

How could an inherent fear not arise from this assumption? And herein lies the fundamental of Lack thinking.

The Course puts it thus....
> The body is a tiny fence around a little part of a glorious and complete idea. It draws a circle, infinitely small, around a very little segment of Heaven splintered from the whole, proclaiming that within it is your kingdom, where God can enter not.

(You may wish to substitute the term 'God' for your preferred term... Eternal Love/Being etc)


Lack thinking then, is the result of this mistaken identity. In perceiving ourselves within this confinement, as less than we truly are, we adopt also the inherent sense of lack. 

Of course It is a misguided assumption which lies at the heart,and gives rise to, an idea separation in our experience. 

#### *There is no such separation.  We lack nothing at all.  Our Home and True Identity is Infinite.*



This imagined separation from our Inherent Nature; our True Being, is the only lack that ever needs correction.

That correction comes about from our desire (willingness) to see that what we are is not separate from anything in existence, for we are existence itself; To discard Ideas of division and hierarchy and be open to accept a deeper Truth, which is ever-present, Ever Lasting Love itself.

This is your True Identity – Welcome Home.

Thank you for reading, I hope to post more 300-500 word blogs on this and associated topics and record some words of a similar nature. Should you have an interest.  I aslo write songs, posted on the Dsound platform, with this theme at their heart (mostly) [heres one](https://dsound.audio/#!/@kryptoe/20180605t195821818z-wake-up)
