Becoming Clear By Building An Inner Container

To be truly spiritual, we need to become clear. This means moving beyond the ego and connecting with our true Nature. To do this, we build an inner container that makes room for our true energy, where we welcome every conflict, every complex, and every part of ourselves. If we just stay with ourselves and the stew of feelings within, and wait, clarity will arrive. Doing this cracks open the ego shell within. We recognize the ego patterns that have kept us asleep. Gradually, wisdom grows within. We do this over and over: Step back, witness our experience, pray, and wait until the answer becomes clear, like water in a still lake. Currently, our souls may be chained by our refusal to listen to them and act on its guidance. We change this by containing or embracing all our conflicts and discomfiture until we find clarity.This clarity comes from our soul.

The beginning of the bigger journey. Occurs when you become clear. Before that, You will be kind of in a more confused state. Which isn't wrong. Being in that confused state is part of the journey too. It's like I was saying yesterday, It's a very respectable place to be. It's not always comfortable. It actually gets more comfortable as we come into clarity, This place of becoming clear is when you start. Moving out of your ego, Becoming clear. Takes at least two years after starting. Most times. In a way. You won't have much to show for it on the outside. It is an inner state. This becoming clear is being centered on the inside you guys more than on the outside. Okay, That's what becoming clear is. It's a deeply internal event. And it happens when we begin to make a decision. Room. For our instinctual self. Which is what connects us to our true nature. When we're clear, We're walking around. Inside us. We love and respect this instinctive energy. Inside. And we're aware. That it's different from our egos. We know it's different. We can feel the difference. The normal person. Probably wouldn't even notice there is a difference. And then if they did notice a difference, They still would have very little room for their instinctual energy. Sort of like an unwelcome guest, Somebody who's clear. Realizes that this instinctual energy is closer to the soul than the ego. This person who's clear. Will also have built a container. Okay, You guys, This is very, Very important. Really, Really important if you wanna become clear. You have to build a container. Inside you. You have to become a container. For your True Energy for your life. For your being a work in progress is more like it. It's like. . . A container that will hold you. It's like the ability to embrace yourself enough. To sit with the conflict. Without jumping to a solution. Just sit with it, You know, The sages talk about. Rivers get muddy and if you just when they're churning and if you just wait for the River. Or the lake to stop churning. All the silt falls to the bottom and the water becomes clear again. In order to have the ability to sit with a conflict, We have to have become a container. Now this is beginning to become a container for your own true nature. Now, In order to become a container, You have to have some freedom from the, I'm just a flawed fragment. You have to have some freedom from I'm a miserable sinner. With this having some. More room for your instinctual energy. And some awareness of your conditioning. To have the awareness that that you've been asleep, That what you've been operating under has been an ego and it's It's the shell of you. So in a way, You have to have sprouted. To become a container to be able to be a container. And be able to. Become clear. You have to have sprouted. The shell in you, The ego shell, Has to have cracked enough that you can see that you've got this ego and that it isn't helpful. And then you contain. You are a container. For the struggles of this sprouting ego who then has to Dig the roots down and find the creator. Find Amma within you. Find the Buddha within you. You will know that you're clear because You won't. Really be able to validate a huge inner change. Within you. And that you're on a whole new territory. And what's facing you. Is learning how to walk. Your soul power. And this requires that you. See over and over again. The ways your ego hooks you. And that you. Are aware of. You know, When the ego comes in with the meaning of life is to have a big house. When these kind of thoughts. When we become a container, We step back a bit from our experience and we Allow for a higher intelligence, You guys. It's like. Okay, This is really important. In the becoming clear, Our intellect is reborn. You get a higher functioning intellect. Shines a light more clearly on your experience. Once you're clear and you're a container, You've got a container, So you have the ability to embrace your experience as you are going through a spiritual conflict. Until. The water becomes clear and you're shown. What to do, What action to take. When I say contain it, I'm not saying like put a lid on it with your head. Just be with it. Just be with it, Be the container for the, What is she talking about? What is going on here? Am I clear? Am I not? Be with it all. Listen to your body, Listen to your heart really, Really deeply, And you will get the guidance about the clearest action you can take. It's the stepping back. Being a container, Becoming clear. Not maybe taking an action immediately. Just being with it. Our ego will love us to keep pouring out. Are progress. I'm going to talk about how we pour out our progress. We will pour out our progress. By speaking to people who are not interested in the journey. By speaking of spiritual things to people who are not interested. Who've shown themselves not to be interested. Sometimes it's useful to speak to somebody about the journey. It's part of how people come to Amma. They hear a boner from somebody. But if you're in a situation with somebody who doesn't. Is showing you. A million times. They don't want to hear about it. Pour out. Your heart. Don't talk about it with them. Only keep in mind, You guys, Take yourselves where you're valued. Stay with people who see you in your true love power. Be intelligent. Let your soul intelligence guide you. Your soul knows. You don't have to, You know, Make a big drama about coming unstuck with the others. It's just, Just don't fertilize the relationship. See, Your ego would love you to spend time with people who tend to keep the same old stuff going. There's part of us that will feel very comfortable. I'm seeing an image of a chained up soul. Pay attention. Pay attention. You guys. Many of you do not pay attention. At this level, Your soul is locked up and chained and you don't even notice. There's so much of our goal, You guys, That we just ignore. We don't pay any attention to, We will criticize it, Really. We'll ghost it. We ghost our souls. You don't want a ghost. You need to contain. Part of the reason why we ghost ourselves is we don't know what to do with the information and that's why it's really important. To learn to become a container. You contain yourself, You contain your journey. You stay with your experience. That is, Again, The. Becoming clear, You stay with your experience. Until it's resolved. You contain it, You're with it, You pray, You listen. Do everything until. The confusion. Clears and your container then carries more light. This is how you bring light into your bodies and your psyche. It is by becoming clear. And containing, Becoming a container. For your energies. Becoming a container for the gradual movement. Out of your ego into truth, Which can take decades. Gradually as you go on the spiritual journey These things will just become obvious to you and you will just do them. You will just take good care of yourself. I don't want you to go up into your heads and like, Bus about it. Just ask that Alma bring the knowledge to you when you need it.
