Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 See yourself as divided, a small ego trying to cope with the world. Then see that this ego has already happened - the ego is only the past. Then see that you have no control over the past. This means you are not the ego. Let the ego melt into the rest of the past. We all see only the past. You cannot hurt anyone. How can you hurt the past? Nor can anyone or anything hurt you. How can the past hurt you? Now, why do you _feel_ hurt, insecure and vulnearable if in reality you are untouchable? The answer is that the ego is a remnant of something very old - evolution itself. From plasma to atoms to molecules to cells to multi-celled organisms to animals to human form. This is a display of infinite separation integrating itself back into more and more complex forms. The last major threshold in evolution is going from a state of experienced separation into a state of oneness - from a fear-based reality to a fearless reality. You may be at that threshold right now. The you will look at yourself proclaiming: Welcome to the real world. :-) Just to be honest, I am _not_ in a fearless state, but I see that it could be possible to go there. /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just energies being interpreted as if emotions, as if people, as if clouds. You already are this fearless totality of nonseparation -- just have beliefs and misperceptions that tell you that you are somewhere else. -- Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
