So this is another video about living the journey,
You know,
Walking the talk really,
As opposed to staying theoretical.
Now it's time on the earth,
We really need people who are willing to walk it because our staying theoretical or staying in our heads is costing more and more.
It's like with the,
You know,
Global warming,
I mean,
We're staying in our heads and denying it,
Or,
You know,
Spending millions of millions of dollars having endless meetings about it all.
Like it's,
You know,
It's not so helpful.
So what works is,
Is to live it.
So I want to talk about that.
You know,
When you first have an awakening,
There's a honeymoon period and you just feel wonderful.
And then what happens is the ego starts feeling like,
Oh no,
We're losing control here.
So it will start,
You know,
Rattling chains,
And it will fill your mind with,
It will fill your mind with distress and storylines and fears that you didn't even know you were caring.
Now,
It's just the ego,
And the ego has no power.
It's just that because our ego came on when we were two and our two-year-old self felt that,
You know,
The ego's,
Like the two-year-old developed an ego out of its fear and grief about what was going on in the family.
I mean,
Even the most loving family,
You know,
Because,
You know,
Parents are not self-realized most of the time.
So they've got egos and then they parent children through their egos,
And the child who's very connected to their soul feels the gap between their soul energy and what they really know.
And then,
You know,
The emotional climate in the family,
Which will be more egocentric.
And as children around two,
We let go of our connection to deep truth.
And we,
You know,
Accept the family emotional climate,
Which will include,
You know,
Often our religion or,
You know,
Our status.
A whole bunch of things are in this.
And then we go along believing that that conditioned reality is the truth.
So we go on often until about age 35,
At least.
And then,
You know,
Life sometimes throws us in the soup.
And then we have a choice whether to,
You know,
Connect up with our true nature that we left behind,
That we rolled off,
Or continue on.
And sometimes,
You know,
It's a situation we might have a profession and family,
You know,
Kids to raise and everything.
So we,
Again,
Turn against what we know.
So we,
We keep going and then maybe around age 65,
We might have another chance to be able to listen and bring in our connection to the Creator,
Our connection to our souls,
The knowledge of our true essence.
And the thing about that,
If you do that,
Then you get the golden years and you get a deathbed where of peace because you,
You woke up.
See,
The thing is,
If we turn against that early connection to truth that we had,
And that is still in our bodies,
That we can really access anytime.
If we turn against it,
You know,
We get deathbeds where we have to face it.
And one of the things,
You know,
I've talked a lot about my experience with my family.
And the reason I do this is to illustrate what I'm talking about.
So it doesn't stay theoretical.
But,
You know,
I really knew that because my mom had that nervous breakdown,
And she didn't deal with her stuff,
That the kids,
As we had four kids,
I was a third,
Got loaded up with her emotional material.
And this ties in with what Carl Jung says that it's the unlived life of the parent that loads up on the child.
So,
You know,
Really,
If she,
You know,
Faced her demons,
Then there'd be less,
You know,
Work that we four kids had to clear.
So that was why,
You know,
When I went through a difficult time in my 30s,
I really decided to wake up,
Because I didn't want to load it on my kids.
But you see,
We might not even consciously awaken at 35.
Like I said,
We could be loaded up with responsibilities,
And with kids,
It's okay,
It's okay.
It's okay if you wake up later.
It's,
You know,
Hopefully you wake up,
But even if you wake up on your deathbed,
That's better than not waking up at all.
You know,
I know some people don't want to even think that there's a different level of truth than the one that they perceive through their eyes,
You know,
And that they,
They,
They don't want to sort of wake up and see their own ego functioning.
And it takes courage to do it.
But I'll tell you,
It's worth it,
Because you can have a life full of meaning and you end up with really dear friends,
Actually,
You end up being really close to some beloved people who are on the same path in a way that you,
You could never get that close if you were staying in your ego and living a conditioned life.
Okay,
Well,
Look,
I know it's not easy,
But just,
You know,
It's not easy,
But just side with your heart.
Okay,
And have a,
Then everything will have a good ending.
Okay,
Bless your hearts.
