The Expansion of the Human Perspective

Awakening is not an event, nor is it something that changes you. 

Awakening is not the dissolution of the ego, which would be impossible while experiencing through a human vehicle.

Awakening IS the expansion of the human perspective. The human perspective is merely BEING, itself, expressing itself as a human. Therefore, the ego is not a static, separate entity that exists. It's merely YOU, believing yourself to only be a body/mind and therefore taking on the beliefs/thoughts of that body/mind.  

Awakening is the realization that all of the things you never knew existed, seem to come into your own awareness. Granted, nothing changed, and awareness is not YOUR awareness. The world was always there exactly as it is. It was merely a matter of your willingness to see it. The more you expand and open up and allow in your experience, the more you see that separation was the ultimate illusion. The more you see that, that, which seems different than you, is not really different, outside of the thoughts/beliefs which claim so.

Everyone wants to rid themselves of Ego. Newsflash. Ego is not something you can rid yourself of. Ego merely means "limited perspective". Therefore dissolving the Ego merely means expanding your perspective. Expand your perspective by taking notice of your reactions to life, especially in your interactions with other people. Are you reacting from Love? Are you reacting from fear? If you feel threatened by a certain situation, person, topic, it could be that you are holding unconsciously to a belief. The only way to see through the belief is to make it known by the light of your Awareness. To lovingly embrace it as you embrace your fears in the same way.   

 Being is already being itself in every drop of matter from the smallest particle to larger organisms and beyond. So, separation is only a temporary appearance while experiencing through the human vehicle. 

Awakening is the realization that your perspective is only your perspective and holds no more weight than my perspective or my neighbor's perspective. We're all co-equals. We're all just BEING itself floundering around in these human expressions trying to be perfect, when perfection is already our nature, which is why we chose humanness to experience what it's like NOT to be perfect and finding the perfection within the seeming imperfection, of not only our own perspectives, but other people's perspectives. 

Stop fighting so much with your neighbor and understand that we're all the same one Consciousness. Understand that my perspective is limited just like yours. Understand that my life conditions and experiences have led me to perceive the world in the way I do, just like your experiences have done for you. Understand that I, like you, don't have all of the answers to the Cosmic jigsaw puzzle while experiencing through this human vehicle. Meaning, experiencing from this limited vehicle of humanness, I can't see the greater perspective of totality, nor can I understand why things happen the way they do, other than through the manifestation of cause and effect that we all operate under, and neither can you. Embracing your neighbor/enemy/friend/co-worker's perspective, even if you vehemently disagree, means you're on the first step to shedding the layers of limitation of what we call.....the Ego.

It's like having a bias towards a particular actor for your whole life and refusing to see a certain movie because that actor stars in it. Until one day, you are forced to see that movie and you realize what an incredible film it actually is. Yet, all of this time, you limited yourself from seeing it because of your biased beliefs about a particular actor. This is awakening. this is 'dissolving' the ego. There is nothing separate that is actually dissolving. It's just YOU, willingly embracing that which has always been there (the actor and the movie) and allowing that 'different perspective' to finally be lovingly embraced by you.

It's not about getting rid of likes/dislikes and becoming robots. It's simply about opening up to embrace that which we used to fear.

You hate someone from another race/religion/political orientation? Fine. Try spending some time with a person from another race/religion/political orientation and watch your own reactions to these people. Is it them that causes the reactions in YOU, or is it merely you, yourself that has the problem based on a preconceived notion you had about these people?

Can you embrace the fact that a black/white person other than their skin color and their life experiences is absolutely no different than you, yourself outside of the belief that claims as such?

Can you embrace the fact that a democrat or republican other than their life experiences is really no different than you, outside of the belief that claims how things should/should not be?

Same with religion. You hate a particular religion? Ok, can you embrace the fact that even for the most radical of religious fundamentalists, that just PERHAPS, they, in their humanness have misinterpreted their own teachings into what they possibly believed it to be, just like other religions have done with the bible?

When you come to see that everyone's experiences shape their own perceptions and perspectives, you come to see that there really is nothing actually separate than you, other than your own interpretations of others. You don't have to AGREE with another perspective. But, embracing it in your own capacity, in your own Awareness, breaks down the walls of the ego and you come to see that separation seems more and more of an illusion. There's only Awareness. Not MY Awareness. Not YOUR Awareness. Merely....Awareness. And within that Awareness, each of us will perceive the world the way our beliefs shape us.

That's all for now.

Much love to all
