| To live as the Self is a brand new experience every moment. To live
as the separate self is a circular experience of past moments. So do
you want to live in the past, to constantly recycle your life? Or do
you want to venture out into the unknown, the mystery, the
possibilities?
The intellect says, "Well, that kind of risk can't be supported. I
have to work in the manner in which I am trained. I have to mold
myself to fit into the corporation, to be a good citizen, and then
the government will take care of me." Unfortunately, the system is
designed to keep you enslaved and in poverty. The current financial
crisis is evidence of that: the falseness, the illusionary abundance
propagated by the corporate world. All of it empty, hollow, nothing
to it.
That should not strike fear into your being, because you are the
Self. The Self survives. The Self exists because that is its True
Nature. You can get caught up into the fear of what might happen,
and participate in that. Or you can stay present in Is-ness and
create what is happening. That is such a powerful awareness! You
can stay present and create what is happening.
Most have assigned their creative ability to others, given away their
power to the outside. But there are still a few in the world who
have kept their power, their creative potential, and are creating life.
The world is entering a new dimension. You are entering a new dimension.
Things will not work the way they used to work. Things are no longer
running automatically. Systems and structures, patterns of
existence, are all in a state of decay and disarray. The
programming, the hypnosis is breaking down. You don't see too much
of this now. It is mostly the best kept secret in the universe: "The
machine is breaking; the mechanism is falling apart. Shhh! Don't
tell anybody. The machine is breaking and it cannot be fixed.
People will become too frightened if they know, so keep it a secret."
The machine is breaking, the gears are becoming clogged. Human
survival is at stake, that is, survival as separate beings. The next
level of existence will take place in a state of balanced harmony and
cooperation, community with a sense of purpose and direction; a
community that cares about the life process, understands it
completely, and creates from that place, from a place of connection,
not from force or control.
The way the world has worked, is no longer working. The way the
world will work has yet to come into view. A few perceive it, but
many remain ignorant.
So you are facing a time of transformation. You can face it with
abandon and surrender, or you can face it in fear. Either way, you
will face it; either way, you will participate in it. You can run
along with it, or be dragged along with it. You know, when you are
running, you keep your balance, you keep pace, and you keep going.
When you fall and are dragged along, you get scraped and bruised and
broken. Life is this, and has always been this.
Life is the unbounded, unlimited potential of possibilities. Humans
have become very foolish in ignoring the possibilities, settling for
less, settling for complacency and lack, powerlessness, when all the
while it is one world, a world without borders, boundaries. The
borders, the boundaries, the limitations are simply the consequence
of conditioning, which is held in place by belief and concept. That
is the real illusion of life, the illusion of separation.
I am compelled by Life to give what is known in this moment, to be
that voice that speaks, that points to a higher existence, to be one
that shows the way into the Self, which is a constant creation
because there is no "way" into the Self. I am compelled by Life to
map out the most direct path into the Self. The requirements fall on
your side; they demand of you the surrender, the letting go of the
expectations, the doubts, the fears. They compel you to experience
the courage to face the fears of your life, the unknowns. It is not
much work for me to point out the path. It is a lot of work for you
to get on with the path, because you have to let go, to surrender
what you want, what you expect, what you believe, what you think is
possible and what you think is impossible.
You have to let go of it all, and that is a difficult actuality to
face because what evidence do you have? You have lived an evidence-
based life, a validated life: you do the right thing, and you are
rewarded; you do the wrong thing and you are punished. That is a bit
strange, because there is always just one thing to do, and it is not
right or wrong. That which is in front of you is "what to do";
whatever that might be, is it. There is not much glamour to that, no
perception of reward. To the intellect that looks like more loss.
You must lose the self to find the Self.
So you face the death of the ego, the separate self, fearlessly,
courageously. The final act of the separate self is that surrender
of life, that letting go of the perceived need of existence and
survival. To abandon survival is to really start living as the
Self. The Self survives.
The obstacles of existence are illusions. There is nothing between
you, the unique expression of Life that you are. They are one and the same. You are not alone; you are not
cut off.
The whole of the universe beckons you to awaken. The whole of the
cosmos awaits your arrival into the True Nature, the awakening of you into
the The Consciousness to join the cosmic array of existence, the purpose of
Life, the connection of all things. All of it is alive, vibrating.
Each frequency of vibration is a unique expression of The
Consciousness, permanently connected, inseparable, and yet unique.
