Waking up is very similar to a butterfly emerging from a cocoon: You must use all of your strength – mind, body, and spirit – to break free of lifetimes of programming, beliefs and belief systems,or what I like to call b.s. It is not easy, but I know you can do it. I believe in you.
We think of growing up as becoming the sum total of our experiences and lessons, hoping we do the right thing. Waking up is stripping everything away to reveal what you are – the Being witnessing the experience, and yet is untouched by it.
You will be required to lose everything you think is important for survival, everything you think makes you who you are, the cast of characters in the play of your life will change repeatedly, and you will have days of feeling you cannot suffer any more loss. You will be stripped down and re-built from the inside out. You will survive, thrive even, and discover you are more amazing than you ever could imagine.
No, Mastery is not for the weak. But, you are reading this because you can and will do it. You know you have no other choice. You have already begun to awaken. Your perspective on life is changing, you are seeing the Truth and falseness in the world, and wonder why others don’t see it as well. What was once the focus of your life has no meaning now, and a part of you inside is screaming to be released and express itself, but you don’t know how to start.
Begin with trust. A process has begun within you, and you must never take it personally. The Highest aspect of you, which is an expression of God, will break down the ego, and the ego is not you. It is not happening to you, it is happening through you. You have chosen to be a conduit for Light, love, God, energy, what ever you want to call it. Allow it to move through you, and it will clear out all of the thoughts and emotions that would block that flow. At times you will feel as if God has forsaken you, but I insist that you are loved, never alone, nor forsaken.
A Key to Mastery
The mind is a tool – use it as such.
You do not have to be a slave, or even respond to what your mind tells you it wants,
even if it creates a feeling in the body to reinforce the thought.
You are driving the vehicle, it shall not drive you.
Practice focusing your mind, then alternate with just observing your thoughts as they float by,
without following the emotional thread.
Be the detached observer of the drama of your life.
