You may be the most enlightened individual on the planet but you’ll notice that the rest of the world is not. The struggles and sufferings that are a part of daily life cause many to feel that existence is an act of futility in trying to acquire conditions of satisfaction and fulfillment. That being the case, many philosophies have argued that life here must be abandoned and satisfaction found somewhere else…an escape from earth.

Simply put, if your experiences are dictating your behavior, then you are not in control. Your past is in control, making you out of control.

Each life is different with the soul selecting unique circumstances each lifetime to move along the evolutionary pathway toward that intended goal. What I was able to learn was that your birth is not the beginning of who you are and your death is not the end of who you are.

You may be experiencing your life just like that: a lot of motion that is mostly commotion, a lot of action that is mostly agitation. But no matter where you go, life is everywhere, the unfolding of life is everywhere and each of your moment is a magical tapestry being woven in the playground of planet earth, most of the time without you even being aware of the sacredness of each of those to what appears to be mundane moments.

Before birth, before you come into the world as an individual, you belong to the whole. The vast. The illimitable. The Godhead. The All That Is. Spirit. Truth-Consciousness. But when the being, you, comes into physical form, the being is individualized, separate, different from others, sees all others from its point of view, regards its individual version of reality as truth and disregards others’ realities, seeing itself as the center of the world in which it is operating

Because the condition of separation is a dominant condition of most human beings, it’s not hard at all to then think that the spiritual, that God herself, must be somewhere else. The Divine is this but I am that. Limited to the sensory world and habit, it’s no wonder you live a life of addiction to the mental, physical and emotional patterns. It’s like living in a box and the directions to getting out of the box are taped on the outside of the box

If you accept the notion that your Self is concealed by way of the ego, by way of your mind, that, of course, it would be impossible to see who the other person, much less anybody, really is.

Said in a different way, if you don’t know who you are, then how can you know who the other person is?

The first way is that transformation chooses you and when that happens, there’s nothing you can do about it. Now, the second way transformation occurs is through personal choice and the problem with personal choice is that you have time and you can choose when to start and stop.

Do you wonder what the purpose of life is? Are looking for meaning beyond just the physical? Start learning what it truly means to live a conscious life from the metaphysical to physical and back. Keep reading here…
