16 Relaxing into the struggle to find the Oneness

To our way of seeing things, we have been put into a world that is an objective, fixed place; everything is ready-made for struggle. Submitting to this version of reality, false though it may be, seems to make the most sense…To a degree, this assessment is correct. We must struggle to accept the world the way we find it and deal with it on its terms…At the same time we have a new vision of things rising up from the fog… With this new awareness, we know—in our gut, not just in our head—that there is only good, only meaning, and nothing to fear…Knowing this is not a burden; it liberates us and makes us feel safe…But also by knowing this, it may be tempting to skip over all this grappling with duality. Let’s just go straight to the good stuff. This type of thinking comes from a childish desire to be king of the hill, even if we have to cheat our way to the top… When we’re snagged on duality, we have tunnel vision that creates inaccuracy due to the fact we leave stuff out...Always, always, always, it’s our responsibility to search and grope and extend the limits of our vision. If we’re not in harmony, we still don’t have all the truth… So back to that incontrovertible worldview in which we see opposites in black and white—wouldn’t it seem the epitome of delusion to not see things that way? For real, on the level of appearance, duality is a fact. Life appears to die, and bad lurks in the nook of every good cranny. There’s light and dark, and night and day, in sickness and in health…Whether we know it or not, our greatest longing is to find the deeper level of truth—that’s the silver lining… First off, we can’t get there with our outer will alone. We won’t find it in a book or a philosophy class…In our reactions to our daily struggles, we’ll find our work…For starters, we need to realize that pain and fear are like white on the rice of duality…They’re so ingrained in our reality, we don’t know anything else. We take them so for granted, we don’t chafe under their appearance… Most of us don’t know that duality hurts…On top of this, we often don’t realize there’s another way to view and live in the world, and that this other perception eliminates the pain of duality… It’s virtually impossible to come out of the gates feeling the same way about two opposites; there’s no way we can force ourselves to react the same way to pleasure as we do to pain… We can boil most of our feelings and attitudes down into two buckets: fear and desire. In the fear bucket, where we strain away from pain and death, there will be a measure of anger, resentment and bitterness…As long as we live with the straining, the associated inner tension will prevent us from realizing the ultimate unitive state in which there’s no death and no pain… The way out of this maze is by going through the tunnel of our fear, including our anger, bitterness and rage at life—which up till now were skulking around in our unconscious—for putting us in this lousy situation of being helpless in the face of death and pain... Even as we cease our struggling, we’ll know there is the right kind of struggle at hand. When we no longer fear and no longer reach anxiously, we’ll know that everything we desire is available right here, right now, at our fingertips. What we run from is an illusion, even though we can feel the temporary pain of it. When we move towards the pain, we unfold our real self. Listen and learn more.

15 Surrendering to the double-sided nature of duality

People on a spiritual path of self-knowing like to use the word “surrender”. Those of us who aren’t capable of surrendering aren’t going to have much luck finding the core of our being—our divine nature. We won’t be able to love or truly learn and grow. We’ll be stiff and defended and closed off… One thing we need surrendering to is God’s will, because without that, we’re SOL…And let’s be clear, truth and God are synonymous…What else needs surrendering to? For one, our own feelings…We also need to surrender to the people we love. We need to trust them and give them the benefit of the doubt… Refusing to surrender has to do with lack of trust as well as suspicion and fear, and a general misunderstanding that we’ll be giving up our autonomy along with our ability to make decisions in the future. But our holding out creates a supercharged self-will that wears a person out. As a result, we run on an empty tank… Surrendering, on the other hand, is a movement of fullness. When we give over and let go, enrichment must follow; it’s a natural law…But, wow, it so doesn’t work to just say ‘surrendering is the key.’ If only it were that simple. For example, are we to surrender to someone who truly can’t be trusted?... There is an indispensable need to have a discriminating mind that knows when to trust…Surrendering does not mean to give up our ability to make good choices. Rather, in surrendering, we may see that a change of course is appropriate…The rough terrain to navigate is the interim stage in which we’re not quite whole and therefore objective enough to fully let go into an inner yielding attitude without which it’s impossible to become more whole. So we must try… There is, in fact, no contradiction between surrendering and standing up for what’s right. Neither is possible without the other; they are both vital halves of one complete whole…Oddly, it takes a mountain of courage to believe in God’s truth and our power to carry it out into the world.

14 How to visualize living in a state of unity

When we embark on a spiritual path, our growth and expansion propels us toward new experiences and higher states of consciousness and unity. This is an abundant snowball that turns out smiley faces… One essential aspect of our creative process is visualization. Because if we can’t envision the state of unity we want to grow into, it will be hard to ever get there. We need to see the prototype provided by someone who’s gone before us…People are typically very good emulators. We look around at others, especially those with attitudes and behavior patterns we identify with—which can be either positive or negative—and it’s like their way of being is contagious…They become our prototype for the new state we grow into… We meet just the right figure who sparks a recognition in our minds and we follow their true example…It’s only when we emulate negative attitudes by identifying with negative role models that we head down a road to self-betrayal…Negative identification is what leads to the development of “images". This term “images” refers to the generalizations and wrong conclusions we make as children. When such a belief is in place, we have a limited vision of life and aren’t able to correctly see all our available options…Positive identification, on the other hand, leads to is visualization… What this means is that we all need to find a positive model we can identify with…When we’re filled with inner blocks and foggy awareness, these distortions inside ourselves will color our ability to spot true exemplary figures…We can only see goodness when we’re relatively open and free ourselves. Then something clicks…It’s not that we will imitate something foreign to our nature. Rather, basic universal traits will express themselves through us… First, let’s look at how our inner and outer life interrelate. Some claim only the inner life matters. But they overlook a simple fact: that isn’t how it works…Schools of thought then that teach asceticism contribute to creating a dichotomy between two things that in fact are one. So denying the outer life is not a path to enriching our inner spiritual life… Such a distorted reaction often comes about in response to the equally distorted opposite extreme, which posits that basically, ‘it’s better to look good than to feel good.’ Such an approach negates the importance of the inner reality, possibly even denying that it exists…Both of these counter-currents are in distortion; each attempts to eliminate the other but fails to look in the mirror… When all is said and done, true inner growth must show up in our world…Once we tap our divine source, we will make use of our own creative powers and no longer feel like a pawn on the chessboard of life…What a sense of peace to realize our life is our own creation. This perspective is quite the door opener that escorts us out of the two-dimensional existence of either-or… Right now, every single day, we must die—we must survive a million little ego deaths to find eternal life. Then we will be ready to live fearlessly. How do we do this? We let go. We surrender…That’s how we transcend death and intuitively experience that, son of a gun, life keeps on going… When we temporarily let go of the little self, we find the larger self waking up, and then the two come together and unify…In the end, after all that death, we realize that the little self of the ego never even really dies—it unites with the greater self. Nothing is given up… Creating abundance from fear is not living in reality. This is a house of cards that will need to be crushed so we can dissolve our illusion of poverty. Then real richness can grow in the plentiful soil of unity…There is great cause for rejoicing over the ongoing creative process that is alive within each one of us. We only need to visualize it as reality and then set to work at clearing anything and everything in our way. Listen and le...
