| Learn how to free yourself from selfishness and the | | | | whatever you want to create, then it becomes a |
| urgency of time with self-realization. For as long as | | | | great joy, a love rather than something to stress |
| history existed there was always a struggle between | | | | over. Knowing that one is an immortal soul having |
| dark and light, evil and goodness, ignorance and | | | | forever to fulfill one's desires or destiny is a very |
| wisdom, urgency (stress) and relaxation. There are | | | | good feeling indeed. Therefore become timeless, and |
| countless aspects to the complex human individual. I | | | | through timelessness, one finds unified, joyful, |
| am going to put all these complex parts under the | | | | peaceful wholeness. |
| general categories of dark and light, and as the | | | | How would one go about releasing one's self from |
| divided self verses the whole self, the hurried, | | | | the chains of the ego, or false self? By knowing |
| impatient self verses the timeless Self. | | | | one's inner being more clearly and noticing where one |
| All emotional pain, all hurt is caused by the | | | | is coming from, or what part of one's self is being |
| fragmenting of the whole Self and all the struggles | | | | "lived in" or used to experience life from. When living |
| that come from it. The dark self or ego is like the | | | | from a much more timeless, "location-less" or |
| moon of fear and selfishness that eclipses the | | | | universal sense of self, one is getting closer to the |
| timeless Light of God that radiates only love, beauty, | | | | Source. Any limiting or localized concept of self within |
| and pure joy. What one then has is a shadow or | | | | the restrictions of space-time is the false self, |
| shadow self that is an impostor, maya or the devil, | | | | because the real Self cannot be defined or conceived |
| that pretends to be the real Self but is actually in | | | | or pin-pointed into any particular age or area of time |
| comparison to the real Self a great deluder, a highly | | | | or space. The real Self is pure, timeless consciousness |

| The self of separation is the self of fear that blocks | | | | pure oneness. There can be great love and harmony |
| out the love, glory and joy of the whole, non-dual | | | | whenever there is consciousness of oneness through |
| oneness of God. Why does it even exist if one can | | | | timelessness. |
| be so much (in fact infinitely) better off without it? | | | | One has to learn how to know the difference |
| Negative evolutionary forces, materialism, the | | | | between the two parts of one's psyche, and to |
| limitations of time, and physical worldliness have | | | | eliminate the false sense of separation from the real |
| unfortunately forced it upon nearly all pure souls | | | | Self of timeless inner peace, joy, love and happiness. |
| incarnating into the world in this age. It is caused by | | | | By focusing on oneness instead of "two-ness" or |
| the physical laws of time and nature and from an | | | | separation, by tuning into the reality of this |
| overall negativity fed to children by their parents, | | | | harmonious oneness instead of the "two-ness", |
| teachers, friends, society and the mass media, all | | | | "three-ness", etc. through hours of deep meditation, |
| resulting in great fear and stress. Modern education is | | | | one becomes free. |
| too good at teaching one how to be rushed, | | | | Wherever there is anything other than oneness there |
| materialistic, depressed and stressed out rather than | | | | is the potential for confusion and conflict, separation |
| how to be happy, spiritual, fulfilled, carefree and | | | | and hopelessness. One's personal power gets diluted, |
| relaxed. Notice how naturally happy children are and | | | | cut off from its source and great fatigue, depression |
| then compare them to most adults! Only after they | | | | and anxiety occurs. |
| die do they become really happy again. | | | | The secret lies within the unity of self, through |
| Society has become incredibly materialistic, | | | | removal of all selfishness and sense of separation |
| fast-paced, noisy, toxic and complicated and many | | | | from God, and the removal of the false sense of self |
| demands, stresses, etc. are forced by society on | | | | which is a sense of effort, of attachment, limitation, |
| every individual who must participate. Desires, | | | | and urgency of desire or boredom/impatience. The |
| unhappiness, possessiveness, loss and pain, | | | | secret is to "feel good" (God) and that can bring |
| impatience, and urgency all are aspects of the false | | | | endless blessings of abundance and prosperity into |
| self superimposed on the real Self by materialism that | | | | one's life. One becomes what one thinks and/or |
| keeps one limited and separate from the illumination | | | | focuses on. |
| of the real, timeless Self. | | | | It is far better to focus on a timeless oneness |
| One of the greatest robbers of one's unity with God | | | | instead of identifying with a localized "two-ness." The |
| (joy, love, wholeness) is the urgency of time and | | | | habitual sense of being rushed or stressed out is the |
| never seeming to have enough of it. How can one | | | | main thing that feeds the negative ego which is an |
| ever feel happy if one always feels rushed, stressed | | | | effect or delusion of the dark or false self within. |
| or hurried? Like a painting, musical composition or | | | | Therefore the dark ego is a manifestation of the |
| other great work of creativity that requires months | | | | individual trying to adapt to all the limitations that the |
| of careful work, it would be impossible to complete | | | | physical (materialistic) pressures of space and time |
| or perfect it within a few days or moments. One | | | | places on the individual. One needs through meditation |
| would also feel terrible trying to complete something | | | | to develop a constant awareness of timeless peace, |
| within moments that obviously needs months of | | | | love and joy, while somehow still remaining functional |
| skillful attention. Try to live a lifetime in one day. In | | | | in the world. Tricky business but definitely worth |
