Dissolving soul longings

Soul, mind or ego are mere words. There are no entities of the kind. Consciousness is the only truth.

Ramana Maharshi

When you are in a maze and someone told you to turn north you will still have to walk south, east and west to find the path that leads you out of the maze. Oneness is an all-encompassing concept. We have to walk in the shoes of the righteous community leader as well as the bum everyone looks down on. Once we have true heart-felt compassion for every rainbow color we are free to proceed to the light.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not advocating to just drift with the flow and meekly accept everything that comes our way. There are opportunities for explosive growth and iron-will to take the next hurdle for good, but always we have to be willing to give a compassionate nod to someone or something we used to vehemently resist before. Understand where everyone comes from, briefly wear their moccasins and move on.

Ego, soul, mind, memories and thoughts are just energy ready to dissolve when we connect with Consciousness. Have a little respect for each story told; honor your feelings and then move on. Just as there is no ‘you’, there are also only fleeting soul longings. There is no need to repeat this game over lifetimes. Get a feel for the maze you are in and then get the fuck out of there.
