Awakening as a consistent choice








Would You like to comment on awakening of man?
I am noticing I actually have to pay attention the whole day on. My ego with his feelings and thoughts and desires and physical experiences is constantly entangling my consciousness. I had the idea  liberation was a state , but it seems to be a kind of alert attention . It is an again and again choosing for observing instead of getting sucked into all the fussy stuff of life . As if I am relaxed moving in the traffic but at the same time always paying attention. Anything like?


You are hitting the mark excellently. Being in the traffic relaxedly but always paying attention.
This is the state of a liberated consciousness. Simultaneously observing how the ego, the world, the ape of God are always trying to keelhaul you. Always challenging. Man may fall. Man may step out of his awakened state. Especially on earth .

It is a better perspective just considering the ego as if you are observing the weather in the Netherlands. Weather affects you much less than actions of the ego . These actions are continuing influencing you day and night. Always constant vigilance, as in traffic.

The gurus and religious ministers who derailed always have underestimated the actions and the presence of the ego . And they have overestimated their liberation. Too bad they did not seek in this process the help from God, or life, or both. Or from their fellow man. Because without criticism nobody is doing well. One needs the environment and the other, especially to check whether one is still having a keen perspective, if one still is living properly, if one is still acting properly.

Does this seem contradictory? Needing the environment and simultaneously not being seduced by the environment?
No, not at all. Actively participating in traffic, mingling into traffic without fear , behaving properly in traffic with respect and love, and having an eye for all life . And at the same time considering traffic just as a means, not an end .
And this is what the ego and the ape of God are doing: making means into the goal. This is all. But it is not correct.


Keeping an eye on the ego as you keep an eye in the traffic. That’s all.
Always paying attention, an attentive vigilance , keeping up the perspective of eternity, cherishing life from the perspective of God, not from the perspective of the ego .
Then you will stay awakened. Then you are free. Then everything will stay well. Then all is well.

My blessings to you all
