You do this work for the good of all. We do this work for the good of all.
This path is simple and direct, but not easy. Most things that are valuable are. No need to evaluate this intellectually.
The hardness, the challenges, the difficulty, the obstacles, the resistance are what help us grow. You do not get stronger if you don’t put weight on the bar. And it’s uncomfortable.
One of the first and most foundational lessons is to learn to navigate these areas of transformation. To drop the resistance to them. For most of the discomfort is resistance, internal resistance, to what is, rather than the actual situation you find yourself in.
Once that lesson is learned, exponential transformation begins.
You cease struggling to swim upstream, fighting the current, and let the stream of life carry you.
There is more to experience this way than fighting to stay in the same spot.
Ultimately, no fight can be won. There is no win-lose scenario, there is only win-win or lose-lose. It is an old paradigm based upon a branch of reality and state of consciousness that is outdated. It is based on an assumption or illusion of scarcity. That is not the nature of the Universe.
For now, it may be the perception of the Universe for the majority of people.
And that is changing. And you are here to assist in that change. To facilitate that change in those that are ready for it. And many are.
All your pain, all your suffering, all your challenges are inevitable, and in your highest good. The only reason you or others may believe that they are not, is a temporary misperception of reality. When you know yourself as The One, the only Enternal Being that exists, you know that nothing can hurt you!
It is merely a game you created to enjoy yourself in all your facets.
As the One God Consciousness, as an Individuated Soul, and as a Physical Manifestation. In separation and in Oneness.
Oneness and separation, duality and nonduality are not opposed. Both Oneness and Separation exist in Oneness.
This last statement is not for the intellectual, analytical part of you.
We say this: Follow your desires, your goals, your intentions. Because they are good for you. Sometimes in the short run, sometimes in the long run, sometimes in both.
We specifically mean desires, not impulses. The difference is: Desires are more steady, whereas impulses are sudden and acute. Desires are ultimately connected to your heart. Impulses are an emanation of blocked energy. Like a wave hitting a rock and splashing 30 feet high into the air.
It is vital to discern between desires and impulses. Give yourself the space and wait if you’re not sure. With time, you will know if it persists and is a desire or dissipates and is therefore an impulse.
With desires, learn to discern what is deep vs surface level. Or what comes rom your Inner Being vs. your Personality. For example, the personality, the seprate self, the Ego may desire money and possessions and toys. Whereas the Inner Being wants you to know abundance, peace, and joy.
Ultimately, neither desire is “wrong”, for the pursuit of surface level desires eventually and always leads you to realize that there is no fulfillment there.
That’s why you know so many people worth tens or hundreds of millions of dollars who are still in a state of fear, anxiety, depression, or scarcity.
And be mindful of renouncing that. Renunciation is not better. Lookng for something in the attainment of wealth, or the renunciation of material wealth are the same thing, simply inverted. They are both looking for something on the outside.
It is like flipping a magnet. [➕➖] [➕➖] Attracts. [➕➖] [➖➕] Repulses. The force of the magnet didn’t change. Only the orientation did.
Our point is: Surface desires are great, but they should not be primary. What is primary are the deep desires. Abundance. Love. Joy. Peace. Bliss. Adventure. etc.
The surface desires are extra. Meant to be enjoyed and experienced when they can be fulfilled. Focusing on surface desires over deep ones creates suffering and eventually pushes you into the Depth of your Own Being.
The path of the Light is always one of inclusion rather than renunciation. And most importantly, one of prioritization.
Things fall out of your life not because you make them wrong, but because you connect with what is primary. That is the mechanism of LOVE. And the manifestation of a higher state of consciousness. A shift from “What’s right and wrong?” to “What is primary?” Or “What is important?”.
