The Human Journey
The human journey takes us from basic physical survival to infinite love. It is a journey of self-discovery. As humans, we are so entranced by the physical, we forget who we truly are. This intense physical world makes us think that we are the physical body, but we are not.
We are each little pieces of Source Energy, playing the role of physical humans on the Earth stage. We’re expressing our Selves in human costumes that might seem impossible to take off. That’s because the physical costume-body has a mind of its own and it wants to stay on-stage.
The physical body comes with an automatic survival mechanism, which we call ego. The will to survive is natural, but when ego goes unchecked, it grows out of control and takes over.
Behold, the world we currently live in right now is a manifestation of unchecked human ego run amuk. It will destroy those who feed it with their emotions, while it liberates those who direct their emotions toward love. Out of control human ego is forcing the issue. The choice is always yours, in every moment.
Ego thinks it needs constant growth to survive. It believes that any restriction is a threat to its existence. When you’re restrained from being your Self, does it feel like you need to fight for your life? That’s natural ego.
Ego’s quest for immortality seeks to prevent us from reaching the true immortality found in spirit. Humans are on an interesting adventure, indeed.
We subvert ego’s survival instincts when we love. When we don’t feed ego with fear of survival, its power disappears. The human sensation of love within each person starves ego of nourishment and feeds our spirit. It allows us to overcome our ego-selves. Love is the force that enables parents to change diapers.
Where are you in the Human Journey?
The physical world is nothing more than an inverted holographic reflection of energy that the 5 senses cannot perceive. Since we don’t know it’s there, we think it doesn’t exist.
Oh, but it does exist, and it is far more real than the physical realm. In fact, energy beyond our perception is the very structure of this physical world.
Lately, many of us are feeling like we’re somewhere in between worlds, fumbling around in the dark. We’re trying to get familiar within what seems to be uncharted territory, searching for something we know is there, that calls to us even though we don’t know what it is.
We’re blind and unsure of our new surroundings, each step tenuous, groping for the security of familiarity. At the same time, there’s a subtle feeling, slowly permeating our uncertainty. We don’t yet understand this new realm or how to operate within it, but when we pay attention to how it makes us feel, there’s no denying that it feels good and natural.
Keep going deeper. Explore your awareness further. As you consciously look away from ego and toward the higher realms of spirit, you become aware of your spirit’s awareness. You start to see things as spirit sees them, not from ego’s eyes. From this higher point of view, you can see the bigger picture of what’s going on in the physical and your role in it.
As you begin to see from your spirit’s point of view, synchronicities will unfold in your life because you become more aware of what’s going on beyond these extremely limited five senses. Everyone can do this. It is the natural progression of a Human Being.
Spirit’s awareness manifests uniquely for everyone. Have your experience and let others have theirs. Don’t let anyone tell you what your experience should or shouldn’t be, and don’t judge anyone else’s experience of awakening, even if it’s vastly different than yours. This is a conscious decision away from ego and toward spirit.
If you’re comparing your experience with someone else’s, you’re acting from your ego, looking for validation. It is up to you to validate your own experiences by trusting your Self. Do not doubt what you know is unfolding within you, even when you and everyone else have no idea what’s going on.
Often, we remain unaware of what spirit knows, yet we still react to it in the physical world. That’s following your instinct, which will become stronger as you align with your spirit.
Making the Journey
The Human Journey is based on individual choice, expressed as natural reactions to everyday experiences. It is a process of becoming aware of your true self. As we become self-aware, our behavior toward each other improves and we naturally move from ego to spirit awareness.
Changing our mode of self-expression from ego to spirit requires changing our consciousness - re-focusing our awareness. Sounds simple enough, and it is truly that simple, if only we would allow it to be. But we usually don’t. More often, we fight it.
Changing our awareness from ego to spirit demands constant attention, especially at first. Until recently, humans have been stuck in the habit of ego. When we try to focus on spirit, we will relapse into ego without even knowing it. Then at some point, we’ll realize that spirit seems pretty far away. Every such realization is an opportunity to refocus your attention back to spirit.
Ego is so incredibly insecure, it’s very difficult, if not impossible - to work with directly. Ego is threatened when you take your attention off of it. It thinks that if it’s constantly in fear and in control - of your awareness and everything else - it will survive. If you’re not paying attention to your ego, it thinks it’s losing control, and it will make it’s presence known, usually by focusing on false threats that don’t even exist.
Invert Your Doubt
Ego makes us doubt, so we’ll pay more attention to it. When it feels threatened, ego fights ruthlessly, and it knows you better than you know your Self. It knows your weakest points - which you’re blind to - and it won’t hesitate to use them to get your attention.
Stop doubting your experiences and efforts beyond this tiny physical realm. Stop questioning your own spirit’s attempts to get your attention. Turn it around. Question your ego and believe in your spirit. Question this physical world and believe in the world beyond the physical.
You are an infinite being of love, and most of your true self - your spirit - is fully aware of it. The physical human you think you are, is really just a tiny sliver of your true self, which is presently bound and blinded by a three dimensional body.
You efforts and experiences beyond 3D are all that matter. Physical matter does not matter, no matter what your physical body says. Your energy beyond physical matter is what really matters to the world of 3D matter.
Discomfort and doubt are common experiences in the human journey from ego to spirit, but they are absolutely not necessary. The only reason we feel them at all is because we’re holding on to the secure, known structure of ego.
Ego is all we’ve ever consciously known. For eons, most of us have been aware only of our ego. Our spirit, not so much, until recently.
It might be hard to change our default awareness from ego to spirit, but it’s nothing more than a habit we can change. Like all habits, it takes practice to keep your attention on your subtle spirit while ego and the 3D world are pounding on you, but it’s worth it in the end. You’ll feel better than ever and you’ll never regret it.
Know Your Self and Love
Even though it feels incredibly awkward, the transition is natural. It is only hard when we associate with our ego - when we think we’re our physical human body. We are not. When we realize that the physical body is just a human costume, the existential threat goes away. When we know that we remain our Selves without the costume, there is nothing to fear. Then, we can reclaim our Power and our Selves.
You are not your body. You are not your ego. You are your spirit. Act like it. Shift your awareness. Galactic overtones of energy are working with us. This is the way the universe is going, and there’s no stopping it. Flow with the universe and flow with natural life. That tailwind will propell you toward a happier, healthier, higher expression of who you naturally are.
The journey from ego to spirit is the journey from lost to love, from blindness to clear vision. If you’re lost in survival, start consciously loving. Think of someone you love. Focus on that feeling. Your awareness of love within you moves you into love, where the concept of survival disappears.
As you raise your energy, lower energy can no longer feed off of you. Your love for your Self is the only protection you will ever need. It is absolute and unconditional.
When you’re in love, you’re pure. Nothing can harm you. When you’re lost in ego, you’re open to dark energies attaching to you. Do not fear this. It is a natural part of the process. As you become aware of your spirit, you will naturally flow into love, causing dark energies to naturally, effortlessly fall away. They cannot exist within love.
Re-Integration
None of this is about death of the physical body. We can be aligned with spirit while we’re in a physical body. That’s what we’re doing. That’s when physical life becomes magical.
Have fun at this stage of your Human Journey, fumbling around beyond the physical realm. Laugh at your uncertainty. Be sure of the powerful positive effect you’re having. Know that you’re flowing with the universe. Know your Spirit and Love you Self.
With conscious practice, we will become more familiar with our new environment. We will re-integrate the human body as spirit. We will find a footing in the realm of our imagination and in the physical world. We will begin to recognize formless energy within our own feelings. We will clearly feel the difference between good and bad, right and wrong, true and false, nature and abominations of nature.
We all chose to be in this exciting time - right here, right now. We are the front-runners, clearing the path from ego to spirit, for others to follow. With our efforts in love, the overgrown brush we’re painstakingly cutting through will become a superhighway for the expansion of human consciousness.
So Be It.
