Who Am I
Who am I
Am I the name given to me
Am I the citizen of the country I was born into
Or the townsmen of the town that I dwelt in
Or the student of the school I attended
Or the brother of the siblings I was born with
Or the Son of the parents that brought me to this world
Am I the graduate of the degree that I so labored for
Or the career that I have so searched for
Am I the loving and sometimes not so loving husband
When all this is examined and dropped one by one,
Be it by migration
Be it by success
Be it by graduation
Be it by marriage
Be it be a new birth
Be it by a new acquisition
Be it by a loss
When all this is gone and I lay quiet
On a mortuary table
Or on my death bed
Will I have know the answer
Who AM I

My recent thoughts
I used to put funny comments on facebook out of search for attention. When I started this journey I have realised its much harder to do that. Therefore I put my thoughts that eminate from this fountain. Not to teach or to enlighten just to share.
“True wisdom is when you actualize abundance, not the perception of it. Actualize the abundance now and others who walk in perception will see it later when it manifests”. .... a thinking man
“When you come to a full realization of your true self you will realize that no one has power over you in whatever sense of way. They only power they use is the power you relinquish to them. All the power comes from within you”......... Thinking man
“You know you are losing the battle when you major in the minors. Never make small issues the main points because they soon become the majors in your life. Always try and look at the bigger picture first”……. Thinking man

Who am I
So it’s been close to a month since I started this blog, hoping to chronologies my ultimate journey of rediscovery. Not in the sense of trying to be a perfect man, rather to acknowledge that I have always been a perfect man, a perfect creation, a part of a great major cosmic consciousness that emanates from me.
How did all this begin? I think it begin when I started searching. Searching for what? Honestly I do not know. But in my search, I have listened to great orators such as Les Brown to Zig Zigler, not forgetting my favorite Heretic pastor Rev Ike. Some of the other people who have pushed me more are Earl Nightingale and Napoleon Hill. But anyway all their messages from Rev Ike to Napoleon Hill have talked about the power of the Mind. To use Jesus’ words “As a man thinketh, he becomes”. Napoleon Hill author of think and grow rich says “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve”. Every single one of them talks about this thing called the mind. And that has led me to wonder? Is the mind the brain or is the brain part of the mind. And if the mind is its own entity where is it housed, is it in your body? And how come as you think you become? Does that mean the mind has an ability to create?
I know my blog sounds like an examination, but then only way I have been able to take this journey has been to ask a lot of question to myself. For example who am I? Am I Kamau the Kenyan or the kikuyu or the Kenyan in Diaspora or radio owner or the Employee of a corporation? Better still am I Kamau the husband or the musician? All this are fragmentation of me and they are me. But I wonder who is Kamau the whole being? Who is the Kamau devoid of definition and experiences? And does there exist such a Kamau? I hope this does not sound deep because surely it is not. It is just that I seek those answers and as surely as the Holy book said “Seek and you shall find”
