Enlightenment or Suffering?

The only question is whether you want to be enlightened or to suffer. Everyone is seeking enlightenment 24/7 but we don’t know it, so we cling to the highest symbol of enlightenment that we know about. This clinging, which seems like our “solution” actually becomes our albatross, our addiction. What was paradise, now becomes prison. What was our answer, becomes our problem. What was god, becomes the devil. We are moving from the known to the unknown. Change is our calling. All security becomes an eventual trap. The known becomes a limitation. What was new is now old. What was liberating is now confining. What was fun is now boring. Change is inevitable unless you want mediocrity.

You must flow or stagnate. Lazy is not a choice, because anxiety goes with it. What is your growing edge? God is the ever new. Have you met with your inner God today? God is a stretch. Have you stretched today? You are either growing or dying. Awakening or going deeper into sleep. Becoming more conscious or more unconscious. You must face your anxiety or remain stuck. Enlightenment is through the veil of anxiety, not away from it. Move toward your anxiety, and through it. Anxiety is not to be avoided or stuck in. Anxiety is just a signal of the door to your enlightenment.

Anxiety is a symptom of unconsciousness. Anxiety means that you are unaware of who you are, unaware of your Infinite Good, that you stuck in a state of mind, a self-limiting story or trance. Anxiety is a call to awakening. If you are still suffering, it is because you do not hear or heed this call. Enlightenment is inevitable, suffering is a default choice. Why do I say that enlightenment is inevitable? Because that is what you are. You are the light of the world, hidden under a basketful of erroneous beliefs. Whatever you put before awakening will just re-enforce your suffering. There is no finite state of mind that will do. You will never settle for less than your Infinite Good. You can’t. Impossible.
