Over the last 200+ years, we-apart have “let go” of Truly believing in a Creator-apart from us, judging and controlling us. Does Life currently feel peaceful and under control? LOL Hard to imagine any Love realized by such life-action upon-US !!?? What an evil puppet master, if that non-sense were actually true. How illogical to use Fear to “command” receipt of Love, as a Creator presiding over us.
Were you unfortunate to have such a guardian in your own lifetime? I’m so sorry this was a part of your storyline. But, experience should nurture you into agreeing with dropping this faulty premise of “love-earned”. We’ve seen the flaw in the religious dogma, and began going withIN for answers over the last 70 years.
The Eastern “systems of Initiation” were designed to help their people, with very different cultured-illusions than those reinforced by Guardians of the West. Those Eastern systems, ill-applied in the West, motivated us-apart to just Escape the insanity called “world-reality”, by our self, out of selfISHness. We’ve made that unshared reality far worse as a result. Meditating our way out of “ego” and “sense of being a self-apart”, only heightens the sense of Ego and seeking false safety amidst sub-group-Think and an amassing world-view of “us versus them”. Try to deny the State of our dis-Union in these UNITED states of America, for example. Bit ironic that we cannot “label our way into union”?
In short, we have become insanely-confused as a result of Eastern thinking meeting Western monarchical dogma and Doctrines of “discovery and domination” under the guise of a Republic (de-Mock-crazy). Wealth defined as “property ownership” and the Right to Pursue-Happiness (aka Freedom by BoR and Amendments). All of this is quite funny for me to observe as an “old-village recurring Pattern” … call me Native, Savage, 1st Nation People … whatever strokes your own Ego to your liking. Stop calling me “Indian” though, out of respect for both the wonderful people actually from India (I have many friends here) and my own people who never applied Tribal labels for sake of Nationalistic land-grabbing. We “savages and uncivilized” didn’t OWN and dominate Mother Earth … we Shared and Respected her.
But a few of US with the patience to Practice ALL World views, are now Remembering our origin, and lovingly Returning to Life’s Play. Where else could/should ‘this You’ be? … just floating as formless potential is not very “interesting”. You’ve taken Form (recurring pattern) yet again, to apply, adapt and Play-along with Life. You should ENJOY it, including the painful aspects. The good news is you can Flow with Life thereby reducing the Outer Extremes of Pain (and Bliss as well). [sorry, it’s a packaged deal / transaction].
Truly awakening to who you ‘are’ and why all pain and love exists, brings the most overwhelming Sensing and Knowing of Life’s design and goal, to Exist and truly Know, through “othering” and Letting Go … DIvE’ing into Living. Realizing This is every-That, you truly show UP in Life. Words like “vulnerability and authenticity” disappear completely, because you Remember not only is ‘this you’ safe in the world, you indeed ARE this entire Reality, so even the word “connected” disappears (ONE … the non-dual, cannot be connected to something ‘else’).
This does not mean some constant Kumbaya existence. Boring! How would you even Know you were alive without some drama and contrast?
You can still be a complete ass on some days and on Other-focused days, completely adaptive (loving, supportive) to Others needs and desires in favor over your own. ; ) The difference is that you now Realize That-Other is living through you (your affect on them), and likewise you’re living through them (and their affect on you), helping you to Exist and Know (it). This is the most overwhelming sense of Love and Knowing you’ll ever experience.
That’s You …. [i] LOVE [you]
but …The death of “That’s all US, ours” and the birth of “it’s just me, mine”
Descending from [a state of] Heaven, Hell was brought to Mother Earth … Hell realized as the most intense false sense of separation from Other and Nature (Creation), full of Fear and need to Fight and Compete for “personal survival”.
… eventually, you may stop uttering “i, you, me, us, them” and realize That’s [all] You. Only a continuance of applying “Grammatically correct Language” (designed by Guardians of Separation), permits further diverging storylines and drama to expand. Which is fine, IF and only IF the majority are truly “enjoying” that Existing and [way of] Knowing [that we ever existed]. ; )
The 1st step is to determine if your dream is blissful or becoming an absolute nightmare …. then decide whether to wake-up, to what IS.
