Who Are We Really?
About This Book
Who Are We Really? is Ramtha's investigation into the deepest question of identity — addressing directly the question that every genuine spiritual tradition has approached from its own angle but that ordinary cultural formation systematically avoids: what is the nature of the self that is having the experience of being a specific human person in a specific historical moment? Ramtha's answer, developed through the characteristic combination of cosmological framework and personal directness that marks his teaching style, is that the specific human self — the personality with its history, preferences, relationships, and roles — is the expression of a much vaster consciousness that chose to explore and experience the specific adventure of being this particular person in this particular time.
The book covers the cosmological dimension of the answer: the origin of the consciousness in the void before creation, its journey through the planes of existence, its descent into matter through successive densifications, and its current situation as a consciousness so thoroughly identified with its physical vehicle that it has forgotten what it actually is. But the book's more urgent dimension is the practical: given that we are divine intelligences temporarily identified with physical personalities, what does this mean for how we live? What changes when one genuinely knows — not merely believes — that the personality is not what one ultimately is?
What You'll Learn
• Understand Ramtha's cosmological account of the self's origin: the journey of consciousness from the void through the planes of existence into physical embodiment — and how this journey provides the context for understanding the current situation of a consciousness that has forgotten its nature through excessive identification with its physical vehicle
• Grasp the specific quality of identification with the body that Ramtha identifies as the root confusion: how the experience of physical embodiment, over many lifetimes, has produced a consciousness that genuinely cannot distinguish between 'I am this body' (which is the experience) and 'I am a divine intelligence experiencing itself through this body' (which is the reality)
• Recognise the practical implications of genuine self-knowledge: what changes in the actual experience of daily life when one genuinely knows (rather than merely believes or wishes) that the personality is an expression of something vaster — how the specific fears, limitations, and compulsions of the personality look different from this wider perspective, and how they can be worked with differently
• Learn the multi-life dimension: how Ramtha addresses the question of who one is across multiple incarnations — the relationship between the current personality and the previous expressions of the same consciousness, what is preserved across incarnations and what is left behind, and how awareness of this broader identity transforms the significance of the current life
• Appreciate the teaching's emotional dimension: how Who Are We Really? addresses the specific human suffering of feeling meaningless, accidentally placed, or fundamentally alone — and how the Ramtha understanding of genuine identity provides a response to this suffering that is grounded in a specific cosmological framework rather than in mere reassurance
