only an illusion can be upset

.Our goal is to realize our oneness with god not to glorify our Ego.
Turn to the inner source of love and wisdom and ask for help remembering the truth of who you are.
Self knowledge is freedom from the bondage of the personal self.
Life is a classroom to facilitate a shift in identity.
If we  experience anything other then peace then we are identifying with the ego.
We don't need to manipulate external situations to be the peace that we already are.
Defending our phony self image and attacking others doesn't work.Come back home to your natural state and the sense of being a separate self will disappear. In this state the mind is quite and at peace, your eternal being cannot suffer. The only problem was we forgot who we are.

The love of being

  You are the love of being! The world comes from you!.
The Ego is a selfish, self centered son of a bitch. It projects an Image IE; wonderful Son, Great Father, cool Brother,  amazing employee, good friend, Etc....  and If others don't reflect this back to you and do what you want you get Fucking pissed!! Anger is never justified, it is always  Ego being threatened  fighting for its life. What the ego doesn't tell you is that those people cant give you what you are. You are the love of being. If you are demanding love from others it is because you don't believe that is what you are. It is because you see Evil, selfishness, hate, anger and Ignorance in yourself that you project it onto others. Everything is an expression of gods unconditional love (self knowledge) or its calling for it (self ignorance). If you are screaming for love than to see the truth about your self is the only answer.

a position of neutrality

Not long ago I was experiencing immense suffering. I was obsessing about my problems and why this was happening to me. I could have… I should have… if only this…  if only that… and what if. I couldn't sleep, I wasn't eating, My work was affected and my mind was dedicated to thinking about how bad my life sucked and how depressed I was. The whole time this was going on unbeknown to me there was this peace hidden... buried underneath all this oppressive thinking. Situations don't have to change to experience this peace it isn't dependent upon people places or things. It is ever present. What is so freeing is to know that attention can be placed on the stories that play in the head and I can take them to be real and get right in the shit and suffer like a bastard or This distance can be created, the stories play and I know they aren't about me. I am the peace that listens to the stories laughs and says  that was great! tell me another one!
