WILL THE REAL YOU STAND UP?

Unenlightened Teachers of all religions tell you that in order to become spiritual you must first kill the ego. Worse, they then insist that you blindly obey them in their spiritual and temporal guidance.

If any leader of a cult, sect or organisation says that to you -- run -- do not walk, to the nearest exit... firmly clutching your wallet.

The ego is no more than the conscious version you have of yourself, of who and what you are. Usually we identify with our body and our name. Anyone who has experienced near or clinical death and found themselves blissfully out of the body will know that we are not the body. Our names are merely labels, and we can change our labels at will.

We identify with our work. "I am a politician", "I am a builder", I am a doctor". That is not what we truly are. That is what we do.

In life, every major success is built on a hundred failures, yet we foolishly say "I am a failure" and we begin to believe in yet another false image of Self. What we believe becomes our personal truth. What we think, and then allow ourselves to feel, becomes our reality. Do you know what creative power that give you? What are YOU doing with it?

The false ideas we have of Self condition is into all sorts of obsolete responses. We say "I am a father" or mother, son, daughter. That is simply the relationship we have with another personality. It is not what we are. Yet our belief in any one of these false egos forces us into patterns of behaviour that are bound to lead us into suffering for they are based on ignorance. We are clinging to false images.

Just look at the suffering we have caused by identifying with nationality. Yet who is so enlightened as to gaze upon a "foreign" child, or and aboriginal child for that matter, and know "This is another aspect of God manifesting in this body in this place at this time"? Well, plenty of us, I'm delighted to say. Do you think we're all ignorant?

We are into the age of awakening and we are all coming out of a long, long sleep.

Don't listen to the false prophets. You will know them by their fruit, for they teach fear. They are the voices of doom and gloom. You will find them in every walk of life.

Now, you are far more than you think you are, for in essence you are divine... warts and all. The idea is not to kill the ego but to expand it until it includes all things, all beings, All That Is.
