What's the Catch?

Isn’t it exciting to think that I have 24 hours a day access to the Infinite Good, without a cellphone or the internet? Without cost or labor? Without any social or political prerequisites? Without any educational or financial qualifications? Whosoever will may access the Infinite in time. Wouldn’t that be a practical experience of enlightenment?

So what’s the catch?

• The catch is that I have to discover who I really am
• The catch is that I have to admit my mistaken identity story
• The catch is that this re-connection with what I really want in life is internal and that may feel unfamiliar or even unknowable to me.
• The catch is that I have to give up my exclusive identification with the finite and expand my awareness infinitely
• The catch is that I have to let go of my sense of victimhood, insignificance and powerlessness
• The catch is that I have to drop my belief that suffering, controlling, complaining, criticizing, nagging, blaming, threatening, punishing, bribing and angering will get me what I want
• The catch is consciously realizing that these strategies block my way to security, power, bliss, freedom and belonging.
• The catch is that I have to be willing to be surprised, awed, awakened, and follow the road less traveled
• The catch is that really there is no catch except to wake up to the truth.
