The following I believe to be a teaching from my inner guru:
Make no mistake, there is an awakening happening in human consciousness. In every locale, every culture, every nation, and every religious belief system, people are realizing the true nature of who they are and embracing our true Self. Although the world seems steeped in fear, aggression, and violence, underneath it all, there is an awakening of being. There is but one problem you must contend with in this existence and that problem is the insanity of the egoic mind. A simple study of human history will show this to be true. The standards of behavior for human culture throughout this world include immense hostility, cruelty, and the institutionalized abuse and extinguishing of human life.
Our world is currently at a crossroads. In one dimension, there is the egoic reality of power, control, unhealthy attachment, and aversion to allowing others to choose their own path. On another, there lies the delicate and inevitable blooming of a new world guided by awareness of being, the reality of unmeasured love, boundless compassion, the sharing of unbridled joy, and a peace beyond all understanding encompassing complete acceptance of everything as it truly exists in this timeless moment. Rest assured that a new understanding of conscious existence will emerge even if the road ahead is tubulent for history yet to be seen. Remember that the passing of decades are but the flash of an instant in the grand unfolding of our ineludible destiny.
What can we do to aid in the healing of human consciousness and unfolding of the awakening? Practice patience; the caterpillar cannot be aided in its metamorphosis, it must emerge from the chrysalis in its own time. Remain present and aware; receive the healing of fear-based thinking that is given to you in unlimited abundance in this moment. Do not entertain the ego’s desire to compose horror stories of future tragedies, do not engage its fantasies of vanquishing evil and crushing those who it deems unworthy, do not wish for a better tomorrow simply know that its dawn is inevitable. The awakening will happen through the forgiveness of ourselves and all others and the realization of our mistaken path of subjugating the wicked and achieving a justified dominance. This is at the root core of the ego’s fallacy, the idea that there is a distinction between what it views as good and evil. Allow the destructive madness of the ego’s desires of righteous intention to slip away and dissolve in the winds of time. Return to the breath and celebrate each realization of the moment as though it were your first. Do this faithfully and with a full heart lacking all doubt. Be calm and know that peace is always with you; it is ever present and lies just beneath the noise the ego propagates. It is only through the peace of complete acceptance that we will progress towards a better future and a new awakening with all others, not one left behind.
