Imagine you were no longer yourself. You are now an empty space for something to exist.
Imagine that whatever you say now goes into that empty space and gives you your life. Your actual experience of being alive.
This is not only what you vocalize externally but what you say internally to yourself.
Who would you want to be?
What would you say to yourself?
What would you tell other people?
This would be living your life as a creation in the moment.
Anything is possible when you are an empty space from which you speak your truth.
You can invent your truth at any moment.
What will your truth be?

The Possibility Of Transformation
How quickly negativity moves in.
It assumes power, it takes over our conscious awareness until it becomes who we are.
And then it talks. It levers the emotions so that we feel urgency, upset and lack. It speaks from feelings of hurt and panic, sadness and fear.
It is hard to become aware that we have been taken over by the pain. By old memories and feelings. It feels real and in that moment it is real.
In that moment the program is running and the robot is functioning but there is no awareness. Everything is on autopilot. We are an automaton that has a predictable reaction to what is out there. That is why we get stuck in patterns and complain about the same thing over and over, year after year.
There is no way out of the program. The program is what it is.
Unless we become aware of it.
Then there is the possibility of transformation.

I, Robot
The ego likes the story.
It likes interpretations. They keep it 'alive'.
Ultimately the ego is made up of multiple interpretations that are fixed in memory.
It has been set up to protect us psychologically.
Once we start to pull away interpretations from 'what is' there is usually resistance. That is the ego trying to protect us. It has a job to do and it is very serious about it.
The ego lives in 'red alert'. From the ego's point of view, there will never be an 'all clear' where we can go back out and play like we did as children. The ego will never sound the 'all clear' because it is made up of the past where all hurt and fear exists.
So how to be free?
See the mechanism of it all. See the operation of it all.
If a robot becomes conscious and aware is it still a robot or does it become something else? A human being will react according to its past - its ego - until it becomes aware of its ego. Then it has a choice.
Do I react or do I choose what I truly want? Am I mindless or mindful?
Be the change you wish to see in the world. This statement requires that we transcend ego and become conscious. Only then will our actions truly reflect who we are.

Unravel The Knot
What does it mean to be profoundly connected to reality?
Reality is what is happening 'out there' in the outside world.
Reality is also what is happening 'in here' in our inner world of thoughts and emotions.
This gets me thinking.
Do our interpretations of reality connect us or separate us from reality?
Do the memories of our past connect us or hinder our being connected to reality?
Does my knowledge connect me or separate me from reality?
Reality is the present moment.
Reality is not what has happened - that is now a memory that was once reality.
Reality is not what will happen - the future is unmanifested as of yet, anything can happen.
To be connected to reality directly I need to just look at it. Not tell a story about it, not interpret it, just see it. Be present to it.
Direct perception of reality generates no suffering. The suffering comes from the story I make up about the direct perception.
Reality = Reality
Story about Reality = Interpretation
Interpretation is something like, "That guy said I was stupid. What a jerk."
Now I have a problem with that guy. He "hurt" me.
The reality of that same situation is: a human being forced air through his vocal chords and made sounds that vibrated the eardrums of another human being. Those vibrations were turned into electrical chemical signals that went to the brain.
Where's the problem here? Where's the hurt?
Pull apart the knot. Unravel the story from reality.
See what is really there.

It Takes No Time
It takes no time to be in a deep state of relatedness with another.
It takes no time to realize the truth.
It takes no time to let go.
It takes no time to transform.
It takes no time to see.
It takes no time to choose.
The root of all being, the abiding essence of who we are exists eternally now.
It takes no time to be consciously present in the now.
It takes no time to realize the truth.
It takes no time to let go.
It takes no time to transform.
It takes no time to see.
It takes no time to choose.
The root of all being, the abiding essence of who we are exists eternally now.
It takes no time to be consciously present in the now.

Gateway To Salvation
There is a pattern that I have seen throughout my life.
Problem -> Stress about Problem -> Problem solved
The big realization?
The middle part ultimately is optional.
Some may say that there are some problems that do not have solutions.
Those problems are portals into deep self-awareness that ultimately dissolve the ego and its structures by taking the ego into the present moment through great suffering.
All so-called problems are gateways to salvation.
