It was always you
All the burdens that come with being in human flesh. The illusion that we must “earn” money to just survive, find our purpose, and balance a perfect family or home life. The list is never ending of all the material things we must acquire to feel like we have made it and can rank ourselves as “successful”. Even though we know there will always be endless tasks barring on our shoulders.
My life truly started to unravel when I started to ask myself; how do I define success? Do I really need to collect stuff to feel happy? Is my true purpose struggle and strain just to barely survive?
The absurd thing about life is that we are never given the opportunity to define our own happiness or frameworks for individuality. We are force fed to outsource our most important quest… ourselves.
To defend any outside thing – money, property, possessions, or status; makes sense only if those things are essential. But the material world is an aftereffect. Nothing in it is essential. The only personal stake worth having is the ability to create freely, with full awareness of how reality works. – Deepak Chopra
Yeshua (Jesus) said:
“Blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man;
and cursed is the man whom the lion consumes,
and the lion becomes man.”
The Gospel of Thomas #7
The lion represents our lower instincts: fear, anger, lust, pride, survival mode, the part of us that roars loudly and wants control.
When Jesus says, “blessed is the lion which becomes man when consumed by man,” he means:
When you; your higher consciousness face, integrate, and consume your lower impulses, you transmute that raw power into awareness. You elevate the beast into the divine human. You awaken.
But “cursed is the man whom the lion consumes” means:
If you let those base impulses; your fear, desires, and reactive patterns rule over you, they devour your awareness. You become enslaved by your own ego, and your divine nature is forgotten. The beast becomes your master.
The World is noisy with the purpose of drowning out the truth of who we really are. We have been told that God is somewhere distant granting forgiveness, answering a handful of prayers, and deciding who gets to live and who gets to die. This noise that reality (3D) creates is to keep you in the illusion that we are powerless and separate from God, Source, the Divine, the Quantum field, the Omni present. Once the veil of illusion is lifted you know at your core that the Divine lives within you.
“I and the Father are one.” — John 10:30
“The Kingdom is within you.” — Gospel of Thomas
Every spiritual awakening, no matter the culture or path, leads to the same revelation…
“I am not separate.”
That moment when you feel yourself dissolve into stillness, when your soul is bigger than your loudest fears. The moment you know the truth and it causes an internal shift that changes you forever. Overwhelming peace and love fills every cell of your body
because what could possibly be more divine than the realization that the Creator and the creation are one and the same.
If man would give up his belief in a God apart from himself, recognize his awareness of being to be God he would transform his world from a barren waste to a fertile field of his own liking. – Neville Goddard
Every challenge you overcame
Every tear that cracked open your heart
Every blurred wall of pain that leaked into inspiration
Every overwhelming feeling of Love that cleared your path
Even amid chaos the subtle sense of unity with the divine intelligence whispered through the constellations
And when you finally remove the Worldly Vale
The truth that ends every search
It was always you
