Living Unbound

There is a point in your awakening journey when you realize that time is merely a construct. In this 3D world, we have constructed it to try to keep track of our history, make plans and appointments, but it really isn’t anything more that something we have decided to agree on. Your current physical body is time limited, however the real you has no such timeline. It existed before you were born and continues after this body has passed.

Recognizing this changes your perspective radically, and what we call the ego, seems so small. To be clear, I’m using the term ego as self identification. The ego belongs to the separate self. It needs to constantly bolster itself, compare itself, judge itself and by all means protect it’s existance.

The truth be told, there is no actual ego. It is another construct. A creation of the thinking mind. The more one clings onto it, the more damage it does. This is because the ego is based in fear. It plays on human fears that you may not measure up in some way. Not strong enough, good looking enough, successful enough.

If we allow our egos to run things, we can never experience who or what we really are. The ego has no concept of your actual divinity, your true self or the concept that time doesn’t even exist. It’s direct source is what is happening outside of your self. What is the world doing? Who’s doing what? Who did what to me?

It hides behind the cover of claiming that it is protecting you somehow. All it is protecting is the separate self by keeping it from realizing the truth. The truth would destroy the ego.

To really see the pointlessness of retaining an ego, think about this.

Everyone who has lived and died more than say 100 years ago, no longer live in our memory. Maybe something they invented or something they became famous for does, but what do we know of their ego? Nothing. What do we know of their personalities, voice, manorisms or any other human traits? Those things along with the ego are long gone.

What is not gone is the absolute infinite awareness that they were and always will be. Should that individual spirit be reborn into another human body, it will not be the same separate self. It will not have the same personality, preference or even the same ego. Only the essense of what we are lives on. A timeless, formless energy of pure unconditional love.

Thinking about this time based function compared to timeless infinite energy really reveals the uselessness of the ego and the separate self.

Resting quietly in awareness connects us with who we really are and eventually the ego becomes just what it is meant to be. A relic of the past.

In celebration of your path to your true self,
