You cannot get rid of your shadow,
but you need not believe that it is who you really are.
Sri Ramana Maharshi
We have all experienced the high energies when desire was simply not present because we had the feeling that everything we ever wanted we already have.
Alas, we cannot jump over our shadow. Like a basket ball pushed under water, greed, attachment, lust, cravings for power—ego in short—will always bounce back.
The lower energies will always be back. That what “edges God out” is part of us. We are forced to listen, we probably should even serve them tea, but need not invite them to stay.
I once was “There” for 5 days. These higher energies were a present of a friend. She took them with her as she left. Now I have to work hard like everyone. Why not? It’s all right!
