Cloud Of Possibilities

Imagine you live in a small, dark hut. The roof leaks and cannot be fixed. You can replace every part yet nothing truly changes. The fixing never works.

The hut has tinted windows so we cannot see that it stands in a courtyard belonging to the most beautiful mansion imaginable. The hut represents what we believe is possible for us. We do not feel worthy of the mansion. Understanding this, we can move into the larger reality that has always been ours.

Our efforts to fix ourselves won't work unless we connect with our soul. Until then we remain trapped in the hut, unable to see the bigger picture. The hut was never the problem to be fixed; it is not our true home!

Love expands us; fear makes us smaller. By living from love and surrendering to truth rather than trying to fix ourselves, life becomes more effortless. We are not the hut. We are the mansion. Our true self already lives there and lovingly invites us home.

So imagine a little house, And let's say maybe you're feeling a little dark. Lifestyle. So maybe this little house is like one room. And it's dark and maybe the roof leaks. And you look at it and you go, Like, It really needs fixing. So. You keep it as clean as you can, But it's an old building. So anybody who's lived in an old building or an old cottage knows. Even when it's sparkling clean, It never looks it. And you know, When you do repairs, I mean, Where do you even start? In this one room thing. Where would you even start? Okay, What you can do is gut the whole thing. And rebuild it. Even, You know, Rebuild the outside walls. Really sort of. You know, Gut it. Fix it up. OK. Supposing you do that. You know, You find that. It's not working well. Let the pipes burst for no reason. It's new, But it shouldn't. The pipes burst. Through fleeks, Even though it's brand new, It's like, Ah, The fixing didn't really help. This is the point. Anything done to fix doesn't really help because. The thing that you're missing. It's about yourself and about this. House. That you. Live from. It's part. Of some, A much bigger. Structure. That you don't even know about, You can't see. Let's have the windows being tinted so you can't even see it. But imagine that it's in the central courtyard. Of a really beautiful, Beautiful building, Like such a big central courtyard, Like think of like two acres of a central courtyard where your little house is. Where you are is the central courtyard of a beautiful, Beautiful house that goes around the courtyard. This courtyard is the heart of it. It's beautiful. It's absolutely stunning. We're kind of building that you'd always dreamed that you could live in. And you realize. That all you're fixing Didn't work. Because you didn't understand the building that you were part of. Like the way you rebuilt your little. Cabin that didn't work. It was very dissonant compared to the beauty. Of this building. And the beautiful fixtures, It's all done with perfection. And you couldn't possibly know how to fix your little cabbage. Without knowing. Seeing this bigger structure. And in fact, When you see the bigger structure and you just realize that this little building was just the parameters of what you thought was possible for you. In fact, You can move into this beautiful building anytime. It's yours, It's been sitting there waiting for you. Waiting for you as you were busy trying to fix this little Crummy little cabin. Do you get it? It is exactly this. This is why. Our efforts. To fix ourselves. Unless we're connecting with our true personality, With our true soul, They will not hold. It'll just be a bad date. And at the same time, You know, On the journey, We have to face the same issues over and over and over. So we can think, You know, Oh, I was doing it wrong, But actually we were on the right track. In fact, You guys, Nothing's wasted. So any, Anything that you, Any work you've done on your little cabin, Is all going to the good. Nothing's ever wasted. It really isn't. Any effort. Isn't wasted. But the. . . Effort that will be the most fruitful will, If you go directly to your soul, And get your guidance there. And stop trying to fix yourself. Please. Remember what I said about how the scientists studying the beryllium ions. They stopped the transformation of these Berlin islands by observing them and measuring them too often. So this is often what happens with, We kind of go, Am I healed yet? Am I healed yet? Am I better? Am I better? No. Yeah, That is exactly what I'm talking about. That is the perspective of the person who's stuck in the house, This little cabin. And can't see the big picture. Now we're really taught to be this way. I'll trick you guys. We are, Our consciousness is being reduced down even by the bonding practices, You know, How we are with small children. So the deep love. Possible within families. And the bonding. Zero to six. Makes for strong, Courageous children. With a fully functioning prefrontal lobe. Can help them go into the abstract so they can see beyond themselves. They can see beyond their egos, Basically. We're doing the opposite. And I don't know how low we're going to come before we start the upswing. But even if you just understand. That our culture is moving in the way to make people smaller and smaller and smaller. You can get the lesson now. And grow. You can pivot now. You don't have to wait for the collective to walk its sad and terrible journey. Into total desolation. You don't have to walk that path. You can start becoming bigger now. This is what the Awareness Satsangs are all about. And as I say, You know, You don't even have to worry about renovations. Just do your practices, Turn up to satsangs, Read inspiring books, Think about Amma, Say your mantra. It will be done for you. You will be brought to it. I'll tell you what will happen. You'll do all those things, And then you'll have one night where you go, I just. . . I just can't do it anymore. I'm not getting anywhere. I'm just so terrible, My life. Help me, God. " And then you'll surrender. That's how it works. And so many of you work with yourselves trying to avoid that surrender. You keep on doing another level. Oh, I must be doing it wrong. That's why it's not working. It's something wrong with me. I'm doing it wrong. I'll just try harder. They're just trying harder, You guys. Yeah, It's kind of like there are two kinds of mums. There are mums who do things by duty and then there are mums who really love their children. And if you really love your children. It is much lighter taking care of them. It's way more fun and light. It's not a burden. But if you're doing it like from this fix the hut kind of mentality. Raising children is absolutely exhausting. So is the spiritual journey. Shows everything, You guys, If you're lodged in that. That fix, Fix, Fix, Efforting, Efforting. And, You know, We need some of that. We're just so overbalanced in the masculine, That's all. That all we're doing is efforting and we're measuring and we're quietly going bananas, You know. So I hope you remember the image. Of this house. And you know what you could do, You guys? And it will be very, Very powerful if you take this to heart. And you imagine. The, This. Big huge house with this courtyard around this courtyard. And imagine I'm living in it. You know, Or if you don't know Amma. Christ or Buddha or somebody in there. And imagine. Your building, Your little building becoming. Like that big building. And imagine a passageway from your building from your little building to the big building. You guys. That conceive you years. Just like the mom who really loves the child does things effortlessly. It's like if you really want this higher illumination, You'll just find you'll want to do these imaginary things. To help yourself. And you'll just do them and it will just speed you. And if there's part of you going, Oh, I can't do that, Or that just sounds stupid, Understand that this is the perspective of the person in the little house trying to fix the leaky roof. Blind to the bigger understanding. Yeah, When you realize that you're immortal. You're the big, Huge mansion built around this. Courtyard. You're not the little hat. The leaky roof. You guys, This is the pickle. I'm talking about, You know, Trying to fix this house that doesn't work because We're missing the heart of it. We're missing the obvious that we're part of this big. Beautiful. House that that's our true house. So the teacher is the person who's living in their own world. The big beautiful. Structure going. Yoohoo! You guys! Yoohoo! And then you guys go, Well, No, What she's saying, That couldn't be true, Because I know the truth about this leaking roof in my little house. I know that's just true. She could say other things, But. . . My experience of living in this tiny, Dark house is the truth. This often happens.
