You know,
We can get a big shock when we wake up and we begin to come out of our heads,
Out of our intellects,
Out of a life that's basically boxed within the ego.
And when we do this,
When we suddenly wake up through,
You know,
Circumstance or,
You know,
Somebody does something to us,
We get betrayed,
Fire or maybe we have a dream or maybe we go on a holiday and just come back and realize that we haven't been living a life that's true to us,
True to our hearts at all.
Well,
When we first wake up,
What can happen is it's like our body seems to feel suddenly very uncomfortable.
It can explode with discomfiture,
Actually.
And it's really just us becoming aware of how we have felt underneath,
But we were numb to it.
We were wallowing off the knowledge.
We were staying safely in our ego,
Asleep,
You know,
What the sages would call,
You know,
The unawakened life.
Well,
When that unawakened life wakens,
It can be very uncomfortable with all kinds of aches and pains and just even sixes and sevens,
Feeling beside oneself.
But the thing is,
If you just embrace it all,
You know,
Maybe go to the doctor if you need to,
But sort of don't argue with it.
Just embrace it all.
Go,
Okay,
This is a new normal.
And what can happen if you keep going is that as your body realizes that you're listening,
As your heart realizes that you're coming out of your head and you're available to hear it more,
It will settle down.
Yeah,
Because if you keep going and get interested in an expanded life and listening to your heart and following,
You will feel lighter than you have and more calm and more peaceful.
But the transition can be difficult,
And it's sort of like discovering the new territory that one is totally unprepared for.
Indeed,
We have to face our lives when we come out of the ego.
We have to realize,
Like,
Okay,
Who am I?
Who am I really?
What was the life I really came for?
You know,
One of the challenges is to see how the ego operates.
If you think,
You know,
That you've lived,
Think of somebody living life inside a box.
They were just in the box,
And life seemed pretty straightforward and simple.
But when they come out of the box,
Not only are they faced with true reality,
But then they can see the box that they lived in.
They can see it in three dimensional.
They can see it clearly.
And this happens as we grow spiritually.
We start being able to see the old confines of our old existence,
Sort of our old ways of thinking,
And,
You know,
The feeling that they don't fit anymore,
And we're growing beyond them.
But also just being able to see them clearly.
It may be uncomfortable seeing that the way we've been thinking is diluted,
But it's the beginning of freedom.
But just coming back to the body,
You know,
Again with the discomfiture,
Just be with it a while,
And keep your thoughts.
See if you can steer your thoughts towards focusing on the bigger understanding,
And look for things to inspire you.
Keep your minds up.
Keep your mind expanding to a bigger understanding.
Because,
You know,
Truly after decades with these Masters,
I'm like,
Wow,
We're just here to love ourselves and all of life,
Including the most,
You know,
Including your worst enemy.
Because we're all just bumbling human beings.
And,
You know,
We're here to learn and grow in awareness.
Yeah,
And for some reason we lost track of that.
So anyway,
I make these videos just in the hopes that it reduces the feeling of separation for you,
And reminds you that we're all going through a big learning curve,
And you're better than you know.
You know,
You're a divine being.
You're perfect,
You know,
In your human imperfections.
We're all,
You know,
Flawed.
But when we,
You know,
Listen to our hearts,
And try to live,
You know,
Seek to live a truer,
Loving,
More kind life,
We become about as perfect as a human being can be.
Yeah,
And in the East they'd say that that would result in fewer lives,
And that we would be able to graduate from the mortal coil,
And not have to come back.
Which,
Considering the way the earth is heading,
You know,
Might be a wise choice.
Okay,
Well,
All my love and bless your heart.
