In Part1, we talked about our habitual identification with the body whenever we use the word “I”.
We say: “I have a body, I have a personality, I have feelings, habits and convictions”. But who is saying that? WHO is this mysterious other “I”. Who is the owner of that which is being owned? Think of using your car. You would not identify with your car, while you are driving it. Your car is your instrument, your vehicle.
How can we become aware that the ego has its grip on us and that we are not conscious of that?
Become aware that most of us live in the illusionary world of ego, identify with its feelings, created personality, and limited mind, as the ego has only the experiences of one lifetime to from which to draw conclusions.
We should regard our body, mind, feelings, personality as our instruments, our friends with whom we have chosen in order to operate in this world and fulfill our reason for coming here.
Anxieties, suffering, worries, problems – all the normal human miseries, as well as the idea of birth and death are created by the ego’s mind. Yes, the ego knows that it will die, eventually. And this fear is always looming in the back of the conditioned human mind.
But there is good news, a way out of the miseries of the human mind and its identification with the Ego.
Remember what was said in the Old Testament (Isaiah 41,23) and also in the New Testament (1 Corinthians. 8,5),
“Do you not know that you are gods?”
All there is for you to do is remember and wake up from the human dream of an ego and its projected life on the screen of a so called reality.
If you have been suffering a lot in your life and you wonder why you are unsuccessful, a failure in so many things, lacking health, wellbeing and happiness, then – maybe it’s finally time for you to wake up from the illusionary life that is created by identification with the ego. Actually it has little to do with the real adventure of LIFE which results from living as awakened consciousness. Whatever changes you have made so far to make a better life, will always be limited in its effects as long as you identify yourself with the ego.
The real you, the Self, is pure consciousness.
You are an individualized part of that SOURCE, the ORIGIN, THAT ONE CONSCIOUSNESS, which some religions call GOD. That SOURCE which has no beginning or end, which is THE ALL, complete, omniscient, always perfect. And you as an undivided part of IT when you wake up and remember, share all the benefits and magnitude.
But why did you incarnate into this imperfect and dualistic world? The answer is that THE ALL’s perfection is unconscious, because it has no mirror to recognize and to become conscious of its own perfection.
Therefore you as undivided part of that ONE CONSCIOUSNESS have made the decision long time ago to incarnate into this unperfected world of duality, of time and space. Here you attend the school of life, you pass through all learning experiences, like through classes of a school. And then, one day you will have finished the school of life successfully. It is he moment when you wake up and remember who you really are. And then you know that you have arrived from unconscious perfection to conscious perfection – and only then you are aware what it means to live as awakened, enlightened, conscious Being.
Remember the words “Do you not know that you are Gods?”
And as consciousness has no arms and no feet to experience and learn of its own perfection in this world.
It has taken on the dress of a human body with a human personality, mind and feelings. And soon you forgot who you really are. The challenge is to remember, to stop identifying with the surrogate life and to live as awakened consciousness, always – every day of your life.
Once you live from your true SELF, your energetic signature will change immediately, and according to the law of attraction you will draw the right people, the right circumstances into your new life. You follow your real vocation, a path of joy, happiness and fulfillment opens up for you.
KNOW THY SELF. These words were inscribed on the entrance of the Apollo temple in Delphi in ancient Greece. This inscription is well known to many “seekers” around the world. However, few people are familiar with the fact that the saying goes on like this: “Know thy Self, and you will know God and the Universe!”
How can we proceed in the process of awakening to who we really are and leave the illusion or dream behind in which we are being stuck for so long now?
What are the necessary steps to optimize our actual Being, our energetic signature and live as awakened consciousness.
- Ask yourself: As who are you living? Who are you identified with? This is the most important reminder for yourself. And centering yourself in this awareness changes immediately your energetic signature and therewith your outer life.
How are you proceeding? By turning the perspective from the fictitious character in the film of your actual life, the ego towards who you really are: awakened consciousness, the SELF.
You can do this immediately, right now: Imagine taking a couple of steps behind you and then observing your body. What is happening in the moment? What’s going on there? Observe all life around you. Let go of past and future thoughts. When they arise, you know that you are in the ego identification, again. At first it is quite difficult to stay in awakened consciousness, the observer mode. The ego will with all means try to pull you back into its old mindset. Just practice remaining the observer, again and again.
Be aware: the body, the mind, the personality which you observe belong to the school-uniform which you created and chose in order to experience and learn this life’s lessons, for which you have come here.
- To optimize your energetic signature and raise your vibrational level: Let go of habits like complaining, negative thinking, prejudices or condemning and FEAR, worrying and anxieties.
These are the mind’s conjectures, phantasies. It is all part of the projection, the illusionary play of your actual understanding, your life’s film in the projector on the outward screen. Are you aware, that negative thoughts, problems and worries conjures exactly that which you fear, worry or think about? It will produce a negative reality and unhappy future which you do not wish but which you draw into your life by the law of attraction.
To change old habits is a difficult task as habits are anchored in the subconscious. To replace or overwrite old programs requires much patience and repetitive effort. Countless repetitions (at least 25) have to be performed in rewriting a new program there and install new habits that will change your energetic signature, favourably and significantly.
- Start your day with a smile. Even if there is no one around you, smile at yourself in the mirror. And see, there is a smile looking back at you!! The same is true during the day: Smile – and the world will smile back, as long as it comes from your heart. The same is true for being benevolent and friendly. When you talk to someone, observe what you find sympathetic in the other person. It changes immediately the chemistry between both of you.
Make it a conscious decision to be happy, smiling and loving – and you will immediately create a happier future for yourself.
Remember, you are the Creator of your reality. And you also participate in the continuous unfolding of creation.
And you can start right now to live enlightened, awakened. Know that you are not human, that your true SELF has never been born and will never die:
Therefore Death has never existed. Our view of death is distorted by our confused perception of reality.
Yes, you will dispose your body, your school-uniform, which you have chosen for this life, one day. But then your lessons are over for this lifetime and either you need to repeat the class or move on to a higher class and higher teaching. There is no hurry or failure in this.
Then it’s time for a new adventure, new incarnation, a new body or you move on to another dimension.
- To live as awakened consciousness, the SELF, means to do everything as perfect as possible, the everyday chores, stay in the Here and NOW, create beauty around you, be orderly, even when you fold linens or iron a shirt. Also these things around you are vibrating either low or high. And your energetic signature is now in accordance with beauty, truth, harmony and order.
- To wake up to who you really are, is as easy as when you awake in the morning, where you also leave your dreams behind and identify no longer with the dream.
It doesn’t need much effort and you don’t need to attend lifelong studies to reach perfection. You have come into this unperfected world only to remember and become conscious that you are perfected already, you have been that all the time, as you are never separate from that ONE CONSCIOUSNESS which is the ALL.
“While ALL is in THE ALL, It is equally true that THE ALL is in ALL. To him who truly understands this truth hath come great knowledge”. (The Kybalion)
