Dissolution of the illusion

 Everything that we experience daily—rain or shine—is designed to help us awaken to a state of being prior to identity, history and thought. Humanity in its current form has been around for a few millennia yet few of us have managed to break free from this identification with body, mind and world, so what can be done in order to get to this state?

Actually, knowing that “life as is” has the purpose to help us awaken from the self identification with body, mind and world is already a big step towards the dissolution of the illusion because most of us still actively strengthen that bondage. Every memory, every aspiration, every aversion—even if it appears to be worthwhile—is a strengthening of self. Modern wo(man) cannot break free from this illusion because everyone is still going after something—while subconsciously running away from something else—even if the goal is as noble as reaching enlightenment.

Is there something more specific “you” can do? Be aware when the outside events trigger a memory, aversion, desire or reaction and ask who experiences it. Soon “you” realize that the same neurological processes are self-generated on the inside. Actually it is the other way around. The “self” identification is generated by these conditioned neurological processes. Just as with outside events, we can break free from the automatization on the inside as well when inquiring, who has these thoughts and feelings as they materialize. When the neurological synapses snap and the conditioned thought-feeling energy fades, S-E-L-F prevails:

S (ilence)

E (nergy)

L (ove)

F (low) as mirrored in life as is on the outside.

Michelangelo’s angel already existed. He just had to remove the debris from the marble. Likewise, in being stewardship is present. Life as is completes the masterwork.
