Would we know Oneness Love if it bit us in the butt?
Maybe.
Embrace the space.
The space of pure consciousness.
Strangely, it's not comfortable.
Because it's not familiar.
Discomfort is a curse word. We avoid it like the plague. It keeps us from discovering and experiencing the most beautiful things in life.
What if we embrace it instead? Just for a while. As an experiment.
Don’t worry. Be Happy.
God/Universal Love Intelligence wants us to be happy. To dive into life with all our passion. To feel deep, rich, lasting joy. Joy of connection. Joy of authentic relationships. Joy of feeling carefree. Free of care. The kind of cares that drag us down and bury us in the anxiety of worry.
There is a different way. It’s emerging. Everywhere. When we adjust our lens. And have the courage to feel the discomfort of the unknown. The discomfort of the vastness.
The tank is too small
I remember hearing as a kid that a gold fish will only grow as big as the tank you put it in. I thought that was really clever. And really sad.
And that’s what we do. We keep ourselves small with the imaginary boxes and circumstances we construct around us. Something about it feels safe. Known. Manageable. Predictable.
We can predict with a high level of certainty that we will remain miserable and stressed. Living in the dreams in our head as an escape. The dreams that will magically unfold one day as we keep doing the same day over and over?
It doesn’t work like that. We have to take our dreams to the spaciousness.
The spaciousness is like Hermione Granger's beaded handbag in Harry Potter. We can extract anything and everything from this space.
It’s gonna be ok Ego!
We make such a fuss about it. Well, our Ego does. Because it’s afraid to die. It knows it will be transmuted in the space. We won’t need it anymore.
We need to talk to and hold our Ego like a scared child. Because that’s what it is. It clings to the mean and manipulation and fight or flight. The tools it knows to feel safe. To feel familiar. Ego thinks: familiar = safe.
Well it doesn’t. familiar = familiar. And if our familiar sucks then it sucks. And if we stay with what sucks. Guess what. It will keep sucking.
The discomfort of nothingness
It’s time to step out. Out of the comfort.
We make it such a bigger deal than it is. I had natural child birth. Twice! And I do intermittent fasting half the week. That’s no fun.
Why are we so resistant to allowing ourselves to sit in the spaciousness where we can learn to feel the Divine? Is it really that bad? Ouch! Boredom hurts? Nothingness hurts?
We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
The algorithm of Oneness
I’m on my grand experiment to know Oneness in a year or less. In the middle of the chaos of family life with school age kids and a two person working household.
In my book:
Happiness = Sustained Oneness Love
Sustained Oneness Love = Flow and manifestation more powerful than the science of algorithms
Side stepping algorithms = reducing the 5 year plan down to less than a year
Happiness is an internal journey
Today, I am pushing myself to feel nothingness. When I become aware of my head taking over. When I’m aware of the butterflies in my stomach. When I hear my voice sounding shrill.
I read an article recently that reminded me how we distract ourselves with addictions. Screens. Consumptions. Anything to avoid the great abyss.
It reminded me that we can’t find lasting happiness in our distractions. Our travels to exotic places. Our stuff.
We cultivate happiness in the spaciousness and then we bring it with us in all our endeavors.
Would we know Oneness Love if it bit us in the butt?
Maybe.
As we embrace the space.
Very enjoyable read. I love how your words flow.
