Modern wo(man) views events through a personal lens: my achievements and failures; my relationships with others which differ in intensity from person to person. We might not put it quite so crudely but subconsciously the question often becomes, what have you done for me lately, or what might you be able to do for me in the future!
Spiritual living is the recognition of a universal stream. The moment at hand is in charge and not our interpretation of what it means for me personally. It’s a shift in perspective. With Awakening this perspective comes to the fore, though we tend to revert back to the personal perspective when triggered or incentivized to look out for our own wellbeing.
Start noticing when the personal energy tries taking over the universal stream. The so-perceived glamor of the infinity pool claims your attention when the entire ocean is right in front of us. Just as modern wo(man) attempts to claim that little personal stake in the “body-mind-world matrix,” it is our job to be mindful when the personal energy cuts into the universal flow.
The switch has been flipped since Awakening. We know about the peace, abundance and love when the universal energies flow uninterrupted. There is just one thing that remains to end the quest for good. Be mindful when someone or something flips the switch back. There must have been some inner interference allowing this change in perspective. Go within and clean it.
