The images we believe we are composed of thoughts, bodies, images, emotions and experiences, are used to needing and wanting to analyze, understand, label, accept or reject, react, respond and give meaning to anything that appears. We believe that is just who and what we believe we are.
The problem is that this relentless process of control has never fulfilled the happiness and peace we ultimately desire. Actually, the chaotic busyness upstairs has accumulated to a point we cannot imagine getting out of our own way.
One of the ways we attempt to deal with this long standing predicament is to i-dentify an external passion to affirm our image but that hides and delays recognition of our Inner Essence. Current examples of external stimuli could be climate change, the environment, politics, the news media, a hobby, new relationship, business venture, family, health or past trauma. Instantly we have aligned with, delegated and further hidden happiness in an external appearance that has nothing to do with lasting happiness and peace.
For some, it appears they need to walk this path, that doesn’t work, to eventually bring them to recognition that what is ultimately longed for IS NOT OUT THERE. IT IS WHERE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN, JUST BEHIND AND BEYOND BELIEF IN WHO AND WHAT WE ARE.
Recognition of this Essence Beyond that results in happiness and peace does not take time, therapy, a vacation, retreat, course, diet change, guru, relocation, ability, learning, understanding, intellect and definitely not another image or belief in you.
It takes something completely out of our frame of reference, experience and belief system, and trying to have it fit or label it within the image and belief of who and what we are, only side tracks recognition.
WE MUST HAVE THE WILLINGNESS TO ACTIVELY LET GO OF BELIEF IN i.
WE MUST BE FREE OF THE ADDICTIVE BELIEF IN i THAT WANTS TO APPLY MEANING, IMPORTANCE AND CONTROL OVER WHATEVER APPEARS.
WHATEVER APPEARS AS LIFE MUST BE ACCEPTED AS APPEARING, BUT BE ALLOWED TO DISAPPEAR.
NOTHING THAT APPEARS STAYS UNLESS THERE IS AN IMAGE OF BELIEF TO ATTACH TO.
AS LIFE IS ALLOWED TO FLOW IN AND BY, WHAT REMAINS IS WHAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN … HAPPINESS AND PEACE.
ESSENCE AS HAPPINESS AND PEACE HAS NEVER NEEDED my ASSISTANCE, INPUT OR INTERVENTION. 💕
