Human Angel, your knowledge and interaction with life is growing. It can be an in-depth journey of information, or it can be as simple as Love. Love does not always feel simple. It is not always easy. Sometimes Love means walking away, losing a loved one, or saying no as one seeks to manipulate or dominate.

The simplicity of Love is found through Loving the Self and Loving Life equally. That equality denotes a neutrality, a strength, a peace with any experience. It is equivalent to peacefully observing the tides of the ocean ebb and flow, adjusting as necessary and enjoying the whole process as a beautiful part of life. There is no resistance to the tides, a moment of ebb brings another moment of flow. All is well. An astute one would even notice any sort of warning sign from nature that the tides were turning in a way that requires action.

The natural pace of life is one that you accept in some ways and resist in other ways. When you find resistance to the pace of life, you are not on equal ground and neutral with Life, you are feeling powerless, desperate, unable to accommodate your needs. It is in these moments that you are served well to find peace with the ebb or flow of Life, for it is benevolent, supportive and fail-safed to Love. Mechanisms of protection, progression, connection, expansion – these are all in-built into the fabric of your being and the fabric of Earth and the universe, even the dimensional structure within which it resides. The system of Life is an integrated system of Love expanding. As you flow with Love, so go your tides of creation.

Neutrality is another way of saying unconditionality, yet we say that you reside within a realm of conditions, so how does one ebb and flow between conditionality and unconditionality? From a Loving perspective, be neutral with the conditions of physicality; feed and protect the body, whether it is your body, the body of humanity, the body of Earth, the body of the ecosystem; feed and protect the body. That is Love, and it requires action that is based in Love rather than shame. Even if that action is saying no, it is based in Love.

Unconditionality is within the subtle realm, the invisible. Therefore, with your invisible, subtle nature; hold no conditions. Forgive easily, forget the pain and remember the resolution. Hold a high standard of focus on the potential that Love is gestating, birthing or consuming for transformation.

The natural pace of life has a momentum of flow that supports your thriving. Your work is to be well with the conditionality and unconditionality that serves Love’s flow in your world. Relax into experiences more. Hold less mental tension of right or wrong. Say yes or no more easily, even with the challenges – All is Well. Gently focus on the Love that is within a being, even if their pain is speaking loudly in a moment; all while holding the boundaries of conditionality that nurture and protect your physical body. The ebb and flow of Life will carry you, push you or pull you as beneficial. It will continue to compel you to more Love, more neutrality, more Life. Proceed with Love.

As we sit to Blast Fast and Slow, we are well with the pace of life, for we are capable of discovering Love at any speed of progress. We are flowing easily with the tides of change, ebbing inward and flowing outward as indicated with the grace of life. We are seeing the connection between visible and invisible, knowing that the push/pull of life is an engine of movement that continues growth. We are neutral in the face of opposition, holding a strength so inherent that nothing pushes or pulls it out of balance. We are the bridge of connection that embodies the grace of true power – Love. We are holding strong in a moment of change, Lighting safe shores for those seeking steady ground to balance upon. Blast on!

In human history we have never been richer, had more, created more or inspired greater technological advances. And yet, we have never been so unhappy.

The World Happiness Report (2) shows people in developed continents such as Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand are less happy than they were in 2005. This is despite increased economic benefit. The Happy Planet index 2014 (3) shows that countries such as Indonesia are happier than any ‘developed’ nation.

It is all too obvious from these studies that wealth and riches do not bring happiness or fulfillment. There needs to be a change in how we perceive life and what we want from it. If following our current path of ongoing economic development in a bid to achieve personal and national happiness is not working, then what would work? What path can we follow? And how do we find it?

Throughout human history, there have been teachers of consciousness who have led many to a higher level of happiness than most of us will ever experience, because most of what we seek is transitory. It does not last.

Success in business is temporary and disappears when we die. A triumph on the sporting field lasts just a moment, the focus turning quickly to the next game or the next season. A relationship can be wonderful one moment and disastrous the next. Children grow and leave their childhood home. A beautiful sunset fades. A blooming flower dies.

To find a higher level of consciousness requires you to step away from what you think you know and allow yourself to experience what is not available in the normal world of consciousness.

On seeing Buddha, [Dona] went to him and said, “Master, are you a deva [a god]?”

“No, brahman, I am not a deva.”

“… a yakkha [a kind of protector god, or sometimes a trickster spirit]?”

“No…”

“… a human being?”

“No, brahman, I am not a human being.”

“Then what sort of being are you?”

“Remember me, brahman, as awakened.” (1)

Yet, when you truly open your eyes, you will find the majority of the world is asleep, their consciousness running on auto-pilot.

Some people rise, have a shower, eat breakfast, dress and fall out the door, into the car, or onto the bus and go through the day with no thought of what they are doing or why. They are unaware and asleep. This is the sad reality.

If you wish to seek true happiness there is only one part of the universe that is constant. That is the spirit inside you.

This may seem strange to some but if you are ready, the idea of rediscovering your spirit will ring true for you. You will know you want to awaken. If you do not, you are still under the influence of the one thing that creates the unhappiness that you experience around you everyday.

You do not know this thing that influences you because it casts a mirror that makes it appear as if it is the external world that is at fault.

If only that job would be less busy, if your son or daughter would obey you, if that beloved person would return your love, if only problems would stop, if only money would start to flow… then you would be happy.

It appears certain to you that the root of your unhappiness is caused by factors outside of yourself. This is the delusion.

The true cause of your unhappiness and your suffering is within the part of you that makes the choices that puts you in these situations to begin with. This part of you does not want you to awaken or know the joy that every moment of life can bring.

Learning to discover, understand, and know this part of you is the first step to awaken.

So, to begin with, you must find and recognise your ego.

The ego for most is associated with Sigmund Freud. This idea posits that in order to be free and to live the life you were born to, to become enlightened, you must know this part of yourself.

Your journey demands that you know your ego, so you can recognise it and become free of it. Many of us do not even know it exists and have never really experienced freedom from it.

Likewise attempting to describe your true spirit to the unconscious is like describing a beautiful desert island with sparkling turquoise waters and plentiful fish to a nomadic desert dweller. It may sound wonderful but they have no concept of what it is really like.

Awakening Can Be the Key to Unlocking That Awareness in You

Living without the ego is pure joy. No matter what happens, your life can be one that holds no stress or fear or anxiety.

This is not controlled by will, it simply does not arise.

It is freedom from suffering.

Life becomes a dance, a dance of knowing yourself fully, of receiving what you deserve and a mystical journey that now calms the mind and heart.

Living from your true nature, you love like you never have before. Life holds no fear anymore because you know the truth. Life is seen for what it really is, an experience of no suffering, as it is impossible to suffer when nothing unreal can threaten you.

The old way of living is dying. The world is growing sick from the abuse of the ego and people are aware that unhappiness grows. There is also a growing awareness that what people are doing is not working in their daily lives. Many are seeking more. They are seeking to awaken.

We are all on a journey in life. That journey can be along a road that takes you to the forest or it can be climbing a mountain and standing on top to see the view.

To awaken is to see clearly and come home to the Divine in you. This is your ultimate journey.

When you take this journey is up to you. That you will is a certainty.

The 8000-year-old Tao Te Ching expresses it beautifully:

“When a superior man heard of Tao,

He cultivates himself diligently.

When an average man heard of Tao,

He is doubtful, vague and would give up halfway.

When an inferior man heard of Tao,

He laughs and thinks of it as foolish.”

You are constantly called to this purpose by the Divine. That you are loved beyond measure and that you are always safe and cared for. The more you seek to know yourself and the truth of who you are and conversely the influence of the one thing that causes your suffering – the ego – the more you will awaken.

The Tao says:

“One who knows other people is wise.

One who knows himself is enlightened.”
