It is More about Deciding than Discovery

When we think about who we are and why we came here to experience life; usually the consensus is that we discover it on our journey. Through recent teachings I am learning that this process is backward in our believing, like, so many others we have adopted.
We can not discover who we are when in life we are continually expanding. Perhaps when we leave this experience through death, then, we would be able to discover because we would have better perspective of where our expansion lead us. However, from our physical perspective now, discovery is not the correct term nor ability for knowing who we are.
Instead we should start from a singular point and decide what resonates the most for us in our perspective now. We should ask ourselves what excites us the most. That is our core and a basis for who we are and why we came here but from there it is fair game.
We can become who ever we want to become in this life. It takes dedication to our passion of what we decide that is. Discovery is not going to happen properly now. We can look back and think that we discover who we are by our past, except, all of that has changed because we have expanded from there. You are no longer who you were a couple years prior, most likely.
Start from where you are and decide who you wish to become. Give dedicated time to how that would feel. Act upon it even in the now. Act how that you that you wish to become, would act. It will become your reality.

Your wise discussion reminds me of Stephen Hawking and physics. It is possible to become what we are in the now.
Just as the stars are so far away, and what we are seeing is many light years ago, our past can become this also.

I haven't seen the movie but I want to some time. Actually these are from Bentinho Massaro's teachings mostly. It's becoming my belief as I learn more about it. He does believe in alternate and parallel realities and the way in which he explains this, I too believe it. This is neat stuff isn't it?

I agree, we have to make a decision to have a direction. I think discovery comes out of that because what we decide reveals who we are.

I think your view is closer to how the definition of discovery of self should be. Nicely said!

It is correct that we change constantly. And we are never who we once were. But why we're here is a question that will asked until the end of time. Who knows what lies ahead after we die, if anything at all. I think, even with all the scientists digging and digging for the truth, maybe we are not supposed to know the truth until it is actually time to know. In reality, we are smaller than a speck of dust in this entire universe to ours. What we mean might be actually nothing at all. But we as humans always have that burning desire to know more. And we will never change that.

@jhechorain As for knowing why we are here now, they do not know the answer. No matter how simple it might be. And I agree, it has to be extremely simple. We can decide why we're here, but that would not be definitive. I think they want to really know how we got here in the first place. What prompted the human race. That is a question I think should be answered.

I've always believed that truth is simplistic. In your reasoning I find no simplicity in it that we will always wonder why we are here. That we can't find out now why we are here. Doesn't it make more sense that we decide why we are here rather than trying to "find out"? Every one has an opinion so in essence we will never find out given that basis.
Unless we can go even more simply and absolute. We are here to experience life. There is no right or wrong in the existence and we are here to do nothing. Nothing specific, any way. We are here to love and do what we enjoy. That sounds very simple and for me, very fulfilling.
