True Name

[Vanota]

My given name does not portray my identity. I need to find my true name. Knowing it will help me grow and thrive as an individual, and be proud to call myself by it; I shy away from my given name, it doesn't fit. Unfortunately, this process of finding my true name is a pretty large and daunting task. Have any of you found your true name? Where can/should I start?

By thinking one up. No one can tell you anything about yourself and there are no "true" names or "true" traits out there about you. You are who you make yourself to be. Literally. Just like purpose in life. There is no "higher" purpose. We all make our own. Use whatever name you find suits you best. And remember: names don't matter; what's important is how you live your life.

Where can/should I start? lol, your name was given to you by your parents. I wouldn't really worry about it fitting or not, because, either way you'll get used to it

Do you mean like a soul name? If so I have a few ideas for mine. It can help you quite a bit, I do not know mine. Only know what it might be. Good luck, if you need any help, you can PM me. I know a little bit about this.

I once asked who I was. I looked deep and waited for an answer. There was no answer, because I was expecting the answer to be a name. Instead I heard a small voice in my head say, "I...am!" all names fall short of who you truly are. No name can capture your true self, as your true self can not be defined by a name. A name is just a word. You aren't a word. Do you know what God's name Yahweh means? It means, I AM. Or I AM That I AM. the same is true for all conscious beings

We did a task of the month a while back where we had to discover our dream name. Some people got some very silly answers, and others got some surprisingly meaningful ones. Either way, it is neat to get an answer from yourself, like this. I don't know if it will fit with your expectations of what your true name is, but it may be worth a shot. Here is what people reported from the task: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=47780

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." Names are just meaningless terms that help refer to someone/something....Find who you are in side, but I wouldn't fret over the label of it
