Ego and Source: You are both.

Nothing is excluded here.

What’s the problem with Ego ?  ….. Absolutely Nothing!

Ego is only a case of mistaken Identity. It’s almost like we need this mistake to see who we really are. What a wonderfully divine mistake then!
The medicine is always in the apparent problem!
Ego identifies with what comes and goes, with what arises, and is impermanent;  …….     rather than identifying with what is, what is permanent, that which doesn’t come and go and is always here.

There is nothing wrong with Ego, there is no need to kill it or for it to die. Ego Identity is only a movement in consciousness. It is consciousness itself identifying with whatever appears in consciousness. You can’t kill consciousness!
It only forgets it’s own permanent nature and instead focuses the attention on the comings and goings, which are illusory, because they don’t last, and so what is created is an illusory or false identity, a story  of self and so the separate self is created and identified with, rather than with the ‘Source ‘of who you are.

Oneness loves separation, it’s only separation that has a problem with separation!

TURN YOUR  ATTENTION TO THE SOURCE: TO YOU, THE FEELING OF YOU , Turn to the feeling or sensation of ALIVENESS in the body . …..  and  Keep doing that. You will feel the awake aliveness within. The body is a beautiful doorway to see who you are, within and beyond the body or egoic mind.

Leave Ego alone , Give poor little ego a break will you, it’s okay. When ego is not okay then you have a problem. Just don’t touch it.

Simply turn your attention to yourself, turn awareness to awareness itself, turn back in on yourself and see what is here.

It’s like, prior to the ‘Big Bang’ there is Nothing or Source and then there is the ‘Big Bang’ and the entire cosmos was created and unfolded and space/time was created. However as the’ Big Bang’ theorists suggest; at some point it  all collapses and fold back in on itself.

Therefore simply allow the attention to fold back in on itself.

When you see there is only the One Self in Truth, then Self is the Source of everything, and … wait for it ….that includes its own suffering! However this is only as a result of mis-identification with the ego or a belief in the personality or life story, as being who you are.

When one sees this, ego doesn’t have to disappear in the living of life, it still functions as a personality, but now it is just seen for what it is, mistaken identity. There is no more belief that ego is who you are. That belief vanishes or drops away in the life. Ego just simply functions with all its flaws and contractions. Actually ego is kind of cute when seen in this way, it’s innocent too and is just trying to do it’s best and so a true compassion arises for it. This is the compassion for the frailty of the human condition. Poor little ego, leave it alone, it’s really innocent and thinks it’s doing the right thing to protect you. Once you see no protection is necessary ego relaxes, then ego dissolves of it’s own accord. It wants to relax and return back home too.

In this clarity one sees  there is now nothing wrong with ego. It doesn’t need to be fixed or improved upon or to disappear or die, it is just seen as an aspect of consciousness and so is accepted, embraced and can be naturally absorbed . In fact you can actually relax and just enjoy the play of ego. You can even get caught up in it for awhile but it doesn’t matter, enjoy being caught up,  because ultimately it’s seeing it’s not you, caught up in it for a moment or not. It will get naturally absorbed back into and by the Consciousness that you are.

You simply keep bringing the attention to what is unmoving, permanent and unchanging and you will see this.
This is why there is nothing wrong with re identification, it’s part of it all, it’s an opportunity and a continual process of seeing our true nature freshly.
Non identification or Oneness has no problem with Identification, Re identification or separation, it’s only separation that has the problem with itself!

Once you see directly that you are prior to time and space, then when time and space appear to come back in, it is all seen to be within you.  This is a surprising yet obvious discovery.

All of it is you and none of it is you. The living of this in ones ordinary life is to keep seeing this freshly in any instant. This is the only difference between seeing and not seeing. At one point you thought you were appearing in space, then you see that actually everything is within you, everything appears in the spaciousness of who you are.

Bring your attention back to yourself, and notice that you are here and you are alive and that you simply exist.
It’s that simple!

Bring the attention to what you are, to it’s own Source!
The Source of everything.  This is you; you are unchanging permanent awareness.
Then all old reactive and energetic patterns are seen, all neurosis and psychosis are seen, they are just movements in consciousness, so stay with , present awareness or presence……… then all ideas, beliefs, thoughts and feelings of non love will arise, they have to. But when they are seen in this … presence,…….then they are seen to be love themselves. It’s a beautiful discovery for you to see and not for you to believe, but to directly experience this for your self.

By the way don’t believe a word of what  I’m saying, see for yourself, it’s the only way.

Anyone who said it was hard was lying, it’s so easy , so simple, it’s only a belief that you can’t see it and you are not a belief.

When you look for you, you see in one moment, in one instant a body mind appearing in awareness, but no actual you, you see in this quiet stillness that nobody is actually there, just pure awareness, just pure open spaciousness, no inner or outer, and this is love!
love is nothing, nothing to speak of.
Just pure awareness and experience without the false experiencer. This is what is seen when ego is left alone and you return to yourself.

So nothing wrong with Identification , because now you  just see through it, you no longer have a belief that it’s you, so now you can just be an ordinary human being, neurosis, psychosis, habitual patterns, flaws and all! You can even enjoy them!

Hallelujah!
You are innocent, it’s all just conditioning, patterning and genetics, of which you have no choice or control over.
They will all be absorbed in lifes own way.
Just rest as your self no matter how that looks, nor what anybody else thinks.
Right here , right now is enough, it is more than enough.
If you go to the past or future or try to become it will never be enough.
Look to what is here.
What is here is simply hereness.
Just Hereness!

I am here. Say this constantly to yourself and see how it brings you back to you, back home.

Any belief is suffering,  and you will suffer if you believe ego is who you are. When you see that you are not ego , then ego can simply function without a belief that it is you anymore. It’s just ego.
When you are unmoving and still, in the very centre of any emotion, it, collapses back in on itself and into the centreless nothing of being, …..of love.
