The Awakening
One of the hardest and seemingly complicated lessons some of us have to learn is to learn how wonderful, beautiful, and lovable we truly are without misunderstanding what that means as opposed to inflated, ego.
The major difference I have found so far is that inflated ego says I am marvelous above others. I can only see my worth when I compare myself to those whom I do not see as being as talented, beautiful, special, more pious, or as good as I. So when I use comparison, then I can find those I am better than and feel good about me. The down side is that ego will also find those who are more beautiful, young, talented, gracious, educated, smart, pious or whatever than I and then I feel not so good until I can find a comparison that gets me back up. Woe unto those of us who appear to be so far on the bottom. That is because it is harder to find someone "beneath" us.
In religion, ego can kick your rear and keep you down every five minutes because it is telling you that you are so unworthy, so sinful and so ego driven there is very little hope for you.
When you begin to know how precious each and every person is including yourself and you can see differences as just differences, then although some folks seem more this than that and some have abilities others don't and some appear to have egos not yet functioning in balance and in Spirit, you are no longer at the mercy of ego. You know that variety is just that. You can play on the playground with all the illusions and yet know the truth and you can do it without seeing yourself or others as better or worse.
In Spirit we are One. Period.
Understanding this is pure freedom. And when we have to act upon anything we do it from love not from need or fear.
Some folks feel like they have great self images and maybe they do and wonder what the fuss is all about for those who grew up thinking they were the pits. But some of these are still viewing others as piteous underlings and so their egos are not purified in Spirit either.
When I say purified in Spirit, that sounds like religious or spiritual lingo and it is. But you can say that the objective is to have ego functioning in balance and it means basically the same thing. Ego is not bad it just needs a shot of reality. And what is reality?
I will illustrate with flowers. There are a variety of flowers and while you might like roses better than daffodils or some other flower each is a flower and each has its contribution to make and each can be enjoyed for what it is. Its Source is the same. That which gives it life is its Source. And the Source does not love the rose above the daffodil.
Can you get it? Can you accept that you are no better or worse than another and yet are so precious, so wonderful, so much a miracle, such a treasure, so adored, so deserving? If you can, you will experience a marvelous healing within. It will change your life forever.
The only real difference if there is any is that some of us have not awakened fully yet as to who and what we truly are and so our behavior will indicate that. Our choices will indicate that. Our treatment of others will indicate that. Our treatment of ourselves and how we see ourselves will indicate that. But it does not indicate that those who are in various stages of sleep are bad or evil or need correcting. They just need to be loved into being awakened or love until they are awakened. This is not always easy but the more awakened you are the easier it gets.
Fairy tales are wonderful. Think of the kiss/love of Prince Charming who woke Snow White. Think of Beauty and the Beast and how Beauty could love the Beast when others abhorred his appearance and he, through her love, became a handsome prince.
Awaken sweet prince and princess. It is time.
