"He who does not enjoy solitude will not love
freedom."
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
~ Arthur Schopenhauer
We have been conditioned to
believe. both by our religious and scientisitic traditions that we are
nothings. Our religious traditions have
taught us that we are miserable worthless sinners and our scientific-materialist
culture has taught us that we are chance anomalies in a meaningless
universe. Neither could be further from
the truth. We are what the universe is
doing right now. Each of us is a
formative manifestation inseparable from our infinite source.
The Consciousness factor within
us is the creative source of everything.
When spiritual teachers say “God is within you” they’re not saying that “He”
is hidden somewhere in your body, or even in your mind. He is the source of illumination, awareness,
being. The only way we could be apart
from God is if we didn’t exist. But we
do.
Culture tells us that we have to
conform, that we have to contribute (on its terms) that we have to earn the
right to be here. That is fucking
nonsense! You and I are by the grace of
the greater “I am.” Forget all the crap
you have learned about who you are and who you’re supposed to be. You are Divine manifestation.
Don’t get big-headed
though. So is everyone you meet.
