Stepping into the real

Do we rediscover or do we become, so we need repair or do we need to be built? I've been thinking about this for the last couple of weeks. How our identity formed, do we discover it or grow into it?

Perhaps a little bit of both but I would posit to say that the latter is more likely, we become and slowly step into what is real.

"She opened her eyes upon a world still natural, but no longer illusory; since it was perceived to be illuminated by the uncreated light. She knew then the beauty, the majesty, the divinity of the living world of becoming which holds in its meshes every living thing. Reality came forth to her, since her eyes were cleansed to see It, not from some strange far-off and spiritual country, but gently, from the very heart of things."

- Mysticism, Evelyn Underhill

Hoping you have a great week.
