Your Ego isn't Interested in You
Your Ego isn’t Interested in You
Everything happens for one cosmic purpose: Self-realization. Every single event in your life and mine is for our enlightenment and for the unification of the planet. The entire universe is awakening: God, nature, humanity, and all of sentient life. God is awakening in us and as us, in the universe and as the universe, in nature and as nature.
Your every moment is a cosmic moment. Everything that you think, do and say makes a difference.
What is the meaning of your flu? Your flu has a cosmic meaning and purpose. So does your boredom. So do your chores. Flu, boredom and chores are anxiety experiences. Anxiety is a message about your unawareness of the enlightenment process. You think your anxiety is about being broke, about having the flu, about a boring TV show, about the suicide of the town manager yesterday. Not so. Anxiety is about our dualistic thinking. Anxiety is about our illusions. Anxiety is about our fear-driven story. Anxiety is about our thought that we need to be in control. Anxiety is about our belief that life is broke and needs to be fixed. Everything is exactly as it should be for our awakening. Life is a grand process of awakening, but we just don’t see it.
What then could your flu mean? You must be willing to ask yourself that question until you know. Somewhere deep inside you know. Your ego doesn’t know and isn’t interested in knowing. But you can know and you are interested in knowing. So are you going to listen to you ego or to your self? Your ego isn’t interested in enlightenment but you are Enlightenment. Your ego isn’t interested in You and in who you are, only in its own agenda.
The ego has convinced you that you are an ego, and that ego-survival is your purpose. Is that true? Only You can answer that, and you have 5 years to do it. Actually you have only one day: today. Even more precisely, you only have Right Now. Will you take the Grand Leap into Awareness right now? Anxiety is your invitation to take the Leap. Asking why you are anxious is the first technique for taking the Leap. Asking how your flu-anxiety serves your enlightenment process is the second.
Today is New Year’s Day. 2007. Every day is a New Year’s Day once you understand that enlightenment is your purpose in life. The only New Year’s resolution that is big enough to honor you is your commitment to awaken. And the only time that can happen is now. The only 2007 you and I will ever have is right now. Enlightenment is not some future thing. Enlightenment is now.
"The peace of God is shining in you now. Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light is not of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The light came with you from your native home, and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in you because it lights your home, and leads you back to where it came from and you are at home. This light can not be lost. Why wait to find it in the future, or believe it has been lost already, or was never there? The peace of God is shining in you now."
