Awareness is pure innocence.
It’s like a child that can be led by the hand.
As time passes, the ego begins to lead the awareness into the maze of identity.
This is the fall into unconsciousness.
Awareness in “service” of identity.
But awareness remains untouched and pure within the identity.
It remains the witness.
The ego never really runs the show.
The ego/identity can never really “take over” awareness.
So how to get out?
There’s a learning taking place within all of us.
The learning is for the ego to understand the power of the innocent awareness.
The learning is mostly through suffering. Learning that the ego cannot deliver aliveness, joy, bliss.
The ego must submit and be a servant of the awareness.
The ego-identity can overwhelm the awareness, but the result is a disaster.
Living as the ego is a bloody, aggressive, tooth and claw existence. Territorial, paranoid, separate, on guard, never knowing peace.
Only when the ego understands, respects and submits to the power of the awareness, can peace rule.
This is the birth of Wisdom.
The power of the ego becomes fuel for the innocence of awareness.
The Alpha and the Omega.
The power of the ego becomes the fuel that powers awareness.
Awareness burns up the ego like the sun burns up hydrogen.
And the identity is transformed into light.
