Once we have separated out of the oneness and learned to attach an “I” to that cobbled together identity we find it difficult to conceive of our original state of inclusion in the wholeness of source or source energy. Yet there is always this desire , in everything we do to get back to this native state of oneness but the “I”  stands squarely in our path, obscuring our vision, obscuring the way.

In his book, The Empathic Civilization: The Race to Global Consciousness in a World in Crisis

Jeremy Rifkin, spends time exploring just how that “I” forms from an inability to grasp separateness to the slow leaning process of separation.

We have in essence this basic tension between our pathological desire to retain our separate and unique identity and a desire to subsume ourselves into the nurturing sea of source energy. We can see this in our need to associate, to belong to a group or part of a family. We can see this in our desires to at once pocess and submit completely to a lover. The need to merge “back into” drives us as much as our need to hold a separate identity.

Peace for ourselves and for all mankind is in finding  and holding the balance.

How do we get to that point of balance?

First and foremost is the awareness that such a tension exsists, that the tension is a natural dance, that we all move our feet with the music.

An understanding of how the “I” comes into exsistence, makes possible a shift in consciousness, creates an adgility to move from one to the other, eventually at will. When we get to that state we are freed from our ego’s all consuming passion for survival which allows us to reach out and be part of, once again, the pure energy of source.

That doesn’t mean, as some have suggested, that the ego is dead, or mysterious removed from the scene. Instead you understand that the “I” is a complete and total fabrication created by you for the purpose of experience.

If you have read any of the teachings of Abraham
then you understand we have come forth of that experience.

You could say we get lost in the idenity of our own creation and forget the purpose that brough us here.

Our ego is the Frankenstein we have created and suddenly can no longer control.

Some have said the balance is easy to find and maintain. If that’s so why are so many people seeking purpose to their lives?

The is a path of course of those who wish to seek it, and trundle on down it’s dusty by ways. Their is a path and with daily committment and faith one can arrive at a cosmic balance where in lies all the joy, peace and harmony we seek.

You are the journey.

See you round the campfire tonight.
