Each of us have an instinct to learn, to grow and evolve. Everything you experience is teaching you something about yourself. Life lessons that we miss we tend to get tested in again and again until we learn the lesson. The more we learn the better life we live. The more we evolve the greater prosperity, happiness and peace we experience in our lives. This is universal.
But what are we evolving to? What is our potential as individuals and collectively as a civilization? What is the optimum that we could realize as human beings? Asking this question lies at the core of finding the answer. This is our quest, to fully realize who we are and why we were born so that we can realize and fulfill the purpose of our existence. You have come to the point in the evolution of your conscious awareness that you are now ready to fully realize who you are and why you were born and that is why your innate intelligence, instinct, or spirit has guided you to be reading these words.
You have come to the point in the evolution of your conscious awareness where you are now ready to enlighten. Your consciousness has already awakened or you would not be reading this. The volition to read these words is evidence of your enlightenment. The answers already lie within you. Your true Self is already realized. Your mind has thought that you were the personality that it created, but even now your mind is beginning to realize that you are not your mind. You are that which is conscious of whatever your mind thinks. That which is conscious of itself is the Self and your mind is beginning to realize this even now.
The only thing that remains to free yourself from the trammels of your mind and senses is to give up all that you think, feel and believe. All that you know, including what you think you have realize, as well as all that you think you don't know has absolutely nothing to do with you. Observe what you are feeling right now as you reflect upon this. A connection is being made in your mind. Now observe the part of you that is observing the feeling. Who is conscious of observing? Go there. Observe the observer. Be aware of the part of you that is aware. Be conscious of that which is conscious of itself. Be here now until the bliss blows your mind. I will help you.
From the heart, Steven
