Paradox Is Power

It seems as if the more aware we become, the more and more truth begins to contradict itself, yet again it doesn't, this is just one of the great paradoxes we discover on the journey inwards....

Jesus Christ once said "He that loses his life shall find it." What does this mean? This paradox has had many biblical scholars dumbfounded for centuries but that is because it is only something that can be realized by a person who is actually going through the awakening process, the intellect cannot grasp these truths...

To lose your life is to dissolve the time bound mind and enter the realm of stillness, and pure consciousness. For years now you have had a mistaken identity. You have believed that the automatic ramblings of the conditioned whimsical physical mind is who you are, thus you lose your authenticity....

When you stop believing this is you, and become identified with something beyond all the drama, something still and vast, something so deep and immeasurable that words cannot truly do it justice, do you discover who you truly are. This automatic rambling self, that is full of fear has bee called the ego by many teachers and seekers, but I say unto thee that it isn't even the ego, its the false ego that is simply a collaboration of all your previous experiences. 

The ego is divine, it is an instrument we use to experience life for a short period of time in this realm, the ego and physical mind are synonymous, as it is actually the five senses and your personality. Why is the ego the five senses? Because the egos true purpose and function is to simply focus you in the present moment, and follow the intuitive guidance of its greater self, the Higher Mind. 

Another paradox that ties into this concept is that you only gain any real sense of control when you let go! This is because the true you is actually in the nonphysical realm, witnessing its life as a physical being in a similar way you go to watch fish in a fish tank at an aquarium. The true self is untouched by the dualities of the world, it is a non-dual witness that is simply playing the game of life.

Many people don't like the idea of surrender, but paradoxically, surrender is the only way to discover yourself. You see, in the known you have discovered fractions, portions of yourself, the rest of you then by definition must exist in the unknown, and it is only in the unknown can ye flow effortlessly through life with the Higher Mind. 

People need to believe in their own power. God has actually become man, so that man may become God. God is all forms yet formless simultaneously. Discover the true you by performing actions that reinforce your joy, your passion, love and bliss, this is your purpose and there are no accidents. 

Paradoxically the true art of living is only discovered when you stop living and start watching. In doing so, ye form a perfect balance between the Higher and Physical minds. The physical mind is not designed to know how things will ever manifest or unfold, that is the job of the Higher Mind. So keep the physical minds focus in the present and trust that there is a higher octave of yourself doing all the complicated things for you...
