The ego needs to feel a sense of belonging in order to feel safe in his unsafe, inhabitable world. If he but knew the safety and the connection he had with everything, he would not need this tool in order to be safe. Why would you need to feel safe if you knew that your brothers, and everything around you, was you? Why would you attack yourself? If you weren’t attacking yourself, you’d need no protection, no tool against it, no need to belong. Why would you feel the need to belong if you knew you were already one with all?
So the ego needs a tool. In order to feel a sense of continuity and belonging, cause and effect was thence put into place. Without it, there would be no need to belong, to right your wrongs, to make sense of good or bad decisions. There’d be no need to endure family, friendships, relations of all kinds. But with it, a sticky glue binds you to all you see, think, feel, hear, sense, and perceive. It leaves you wanting, leaves you needing to undo, redo, fix, repeat, and replace. It brings you back again and again for more of the same. Always the same. Only does it seem that relationships are different, locations are different, people are different. All are the same game. Everywhere you look, all that you perceive, it’s all the same game.

AWARENESS
Awareness is not imagining figures of light, but making the darkness conscious.
(Carl Jung)
(Carl Jung)
Change Is Possible
Your feeling pain, hurt and sadness for a long time now? Your mind is full of chatter constantly reminding you. You talk about it often and you even dream about it? That is not not the truth. It is not even the past coming back to haunt you. You are placing images over what is real. The pain is the ego keeping you from the truth. It won’t stand to see the truth. It can’t stand to see you as your Real Self, your Higher Self. You see? If it did, it would cease to exist in you. Don’t underestimate this. Yet do not give in to its deception. Pain is deceptive. It makes you believe you did something wrong, or that you have been abandonded. This is the lie. If you see the lie, you cannot but see the truth. It is one or the other.
Start by recognizing the lie. Recognize its presence, and acknowledge its illusion in front of you. There is no need to go through pain, depression, discomfort, agony, suffering. If you don’t believe it is there, it is not there. This is the best lesson I can share with you now. From it, all else comes. Without it, nothing stays.
Feeling that you will get hurt by is an old trick. The truth of who you really are has always been there, yet you have forgotten, as I said you would. Your forgetfulness tangled the truth into a knot of pain, suffering, sadness, mourning, longing, and deep depression. But yet, it is I who would have you exalted. Do you know Who You Are?

Learn How To Be Happy
Joy cannot be forced! Joy is a state of being and if we are not living the truth of our being, joy can never be fully expressed.
We have forgotten who we are because we turned away from our spiritual center, our soul, which has always been fully connected to our God self. We have been living from the limitations of our ego. Our souls are starving for abundance that can only be supplied through our Spirit.
We cannot think our way into joy and pretend we feel a certain way while we deny and suppress the negative feelings and trauma circulating within our energy fields. Shifting our thoughts does have an affect on what we bring into our lives but we must also raise our vibration in order to attract what we most desire. Our dense emotional energies stay in our energy fields lowering our vibration and block us from attaining our highest expression of joy which can only be achieved when we are living in alignment with the truth of our being. In order for us to transmute our dense energies we must first get in touch with all of our feelings without placing judgment on them. When we feel our feelings we allow ourselves to have an emotional connection with our inner being and we find support from within! Our inner being, our soul, loves us unconditionally and connects us with our inner serenity! Serenity is when we “know” we are valuable and loved and we no longer seek for something outside of ourselves to determine our well-being, our goodness, our self worth. When we truly accept and nurture our feelings we hold ourselves in a sacred space honoring the value and essence of our being. Holding this sacred space for ourselves helps us to lift the veils of pain one layer at a time helping us to become more and more connected and filled with the divine essence of our Spirit. When this occurs, the increased flow of divine spiritual energy flowing through our system from our God self will dissolve our emotional blocks so we can tap into an authentic expression of joy, love, peace and compassion for ourselves and the rest of the planet.
• What feelings do you have that need to be fully felt and released so you can free up space in your energy field for more of your joyful essence to flow through? Are you placing judgments on yourself about your negative feelings…this will halt you from being able to release them!
• Recognize when you have fallen prey to your ego and have fallen out of alignment with your joy, the very essence of your being. Once we have brought our Spirit down into our body, fully experiencing our highest expression of joy, our biggest challenge will be sustaining it in our everyday lives. A daily spiritual practice of meditation and going within your inner being will help you stay on track. However, if you fall out of alignment, take a few minutes to connect with your heart space, breathe in your Spirit and bring yourself back to center.
• Are you seeking approval from outside of yourself? Authentic joy comes from your soul, from your divine connection to your God self not from anyone or anything else! Get in touch with your feelings of lack and unworthiness, where did these feelings originate?
• Become aware of people, situations, beliefs and activities that keep you from your joy? Can these things be shifted and healed or do they need to be released?
• List ten “soul filling” things that bring you joy. Make time each day to do something that will nourish your Soul and Spirit.
The great teachings unanimously emphasize that all the peace, wisdom, and joy in the universe are already within us; we don’t have to gain, develop, or attain them. We’re like a child standing in a beautiful park with his eyes shut tight. We don’t need to imagine trees, flowers, birds, and sky; we merely need to open our eyes and realize what is already here, who we really are- and stop pretending we’re small or unholy.
