snap out of the illusion
Snap out of the illusion that the world can give you anything - that there is anything to strive for, some better way that it can work for you or make you happier.
Rise, fly up out of the worldly stratosphere. Unshackle yourself of the burdens of the world, and return to that which connects you to your divine essence.
The world is made by man. This realm can never provide the nourishment you deeply yearn for. You will be searching, hustling, consuming your whole life and it will never be enough, because it is not the food you truly hunger for. It is toxic candy instead of lush fruits picked fresh from nature.
Snap out of it. You can’t ‘win’ here. There’s no strategy that will better bring you peace. You may gain more stuff, more freedom to do things and go places, but the happiness you gain from these won’t be permanent, and the cost of gaining them may outweigh the reward.
Stop investing your life energy into cracking the code of worldly existence.
You are pouring away your precious life energy to something that isn’t designed to return it, to something that is designed to ensnare you and disconnect your divine essence.
Only that which is beyond the man-made world, that which is given freely by creation, can nourish you. Being in nature, really being there in full presence, in relaxation, in a state of innocence and openness, will renew your life energy. Deepening into the wonder of your body, listening to your heart, and living from your soul, will give you the happiness that is your natural state.
Opening the secrets of your consciousness, so that your spirit can soar, and reaching new possibilities of empowerment, of sovereignty, of experiencing your divine nature, of being a creator-being, serving a higher vision, will bring fulfilment beyond your wildest dreams.
The simplicity of being, learning, caring, of growing food, tending to the beauty and maintenance of your home, a garden, a craft, will nourish your spirit. The spaciousness through which inspiration and creativity rises will feed your life energy. Simple times with friends and community, dancing, singing, sharing food and what moves through our hearts, keeps us alive and healthy.
These are the real things. The real, divinely-given world. Be very clear that only that which connects you to your divine essence will give you true nourishment and happiness.
But that’s not to say you should entirely give up on the worldly life, and isolate like a monk. Just snap out of the illusion that the world as it is currently constructed can give you what you really need, or bring you to who you really are. It is in fact being deconstructed.
We are here, a part of it, to dance, and weave, and contribute to the story playing out. There is give and take, and constant duality at work. Just be conscious of this. Don’t become dependent or caught in illusion. Show up and do your part in the grand design at work currently to loosen and reconfigure the world.
Be grateful and enjoy it as much as you can, but invest your life force, your happiness in that which runs much deeper, in the rivers of divine, natural life that are beyond the existing man-made life.
And let us meet there. There we are one, there, there are no stories of competition, hierarchy, no control or fear. There is the divinity of the self, with others, in a beautiful natural world, giving abundantly to us for us to share and take care of together.
In love and community spirit,
Karen
