Chapter 10    The Amazing Feeling of Being Human

You are the “wayshowers”, lightworkers, angels, gods and goddesses, all Masters, who have come through choice and through your infinite love for all Life, to show the way Home. You are learning, step by step, that there is nowhere you need to reach outside yourself. Home is where the heart is, being in your heart is Home. It requires owning all your feelings, embracing them, honouring them and no longer being afraid to feel what ever you feel. No longer having to project your feeling onto the world, no longer judging your self-worth by what you feel, no longer trying to hide your feelings from others because you are no longer denying the gifts they bring to you, nor afraid that they will overwhelm you. They are in fact your life’s blood. Being human is experiencing the fullness of feeling and the way to your heart is through the full experience of your emotions (energy in motion). Being angelic is being at Home with yourself in  the fullness of being human. 
There is so much to feel on earth, and it’s true that not everything feels good. But even the difficult things are rich experiences for angels. Can you bring your full Self into every experience, no matter what’s going on, because this is why you are here?
Over the years I have heard so much about being on the “spiritual path” and “being spiritual” . Most of it has been very sincere nonsense. The nonsense has not been either the principles or the practices but rather in the whole notion of the separation between being of spirit and being human. This is the old view and it is about time we all grew out of it. As a Divine Being how could you ever be anything but spiritual. Whatever practices you engage in, whatever tenets you follow, are merely the expression of your preferences, the unique expression of you. You could throw them all away and it would make not one iota of difference to the essence of you. It may even be a huge burden lifted.
But being Home, totally, fully and completely with self is what people are essentially desiring to attain.  And for me being fully, and totally, and unselfconsciously human is to experience Oneness and be Divine. Notice the word “unselfconsciously”, having forgotten the little self in the totality of your consciousness. No longer needing to protect yourself from anything, especially, your own judgements of yourself, because everything and anything is welcome .
Your emotions, your thoughts, events of the day, a moment smelling a flower, time standing in a queue, another’s judgement of your actions, a kind word, and unkind word, all are gifts and all the emotions that are generated in these experiences are gifts also. Anger is always the result of, in some way, you having experienced the truth of you being trampled on. You must experience it and express your feeling of “No, No more”. Then there is the wonderful opportunity for you to forgive the other and then forgive yourself for allowing it or judging yourself based on the experience. Joy, or sorrow, laughter or tears nothing is shut out and you discover the flow of who you are. The flow of the New Energy that we are just beginning become aware of.
So the next time you fall into self pity, or depression, or watch a TV incident that makes you feel angry or afraid, or feel like screaming with the judgements others are making or the inane conversations and endless game playing, take your angelic Self with you and feel the emotion of it all. Revel in the feeling. It is being human and it doesn’t matter. It is part of the delicious collage and shut nothing out. Embrace it all. It is why you are here.
And you are a Wayshower. Whatever gifts you have, whatever is your passion take them up fully, own them. Do whatever ‘turns you on”. Find whatever way you can to experience them. Find your way Home to a fuller expression of your joy, for it is through being at Home with yourself, unabashed, that you will show others the way Home. This is the touch of an angel, the touch of Love. To love yourself so much that you honour all that you are, “warts and all”. That you can allow the expression of yourself, without excuse, without justification, just because it is you and you are developing a total trust in being your human self.
You are already Home all you need to do is to own the fullness of feeling of being here now. Abundance and your greatest good is already assured. Life is beautiful, with all its light and darkness, joy and pain, fear and hope, and feeling makes it real.

I just LOVE this book! With his beautiful, effortless writing and candid sharing of his own personal journey, Nicky Hamid helped me to INSTANTLY make sense of my often chaotic, outrageous, overwhelming experiences of spiritual awakening so far. I had a wonderful healing experience with creating Mandalas about 5 years ago,and was RE-INSPIRED by this book to begin a whole new mandala journey - now with the knowledge of WHY mandalas work so well in facilitating human growth and transformation. THANK YOU Nicky Hamid, you ROCK!!!
