The more unconscious you are, the more you tend to identify with
form. You will be emotionally entangled within your own situations,
problems, experiences, and thoughts. If you are an opinionated person,
and someone threatens that belief system, your entire sense of physical
survival will depend on your ability to defend those beliefs. This is
what I call an "egoic opinion." And this identification with your own
opinions will only serve to cement your clouded state of
unconsciousness. The ego, as a result, becomes a prison for your mind.
Duality
or polarity is sharpened by the ego because this aspect of the mind so
closely identifies the "self" with a concept. The more closely you
identify with an idea or ideology, the more polarized and difficult life
becomes. And the more we suffer. As long as we're living in a polarized
reality (hot/cold, up/down, good/evil) we cannot discard polarity
altogether. We can, however, transcend it to the extent where polarity
is softened and allowed to be benign. Subsequently, life becomes more
benevolent and cooperative.
On this planet, you have plenty of
people who are currently living in an inner state of disharmony. There
lives are filled with drama, conflict, stress, and discord. They
unknowingly perpetuate this chaotic existence because they so closely
identify with their own polarized perspective of the universe. It's as
if the ego says, "The world is a hostile place and therefore I've
declared it as my enemy." They have been conditioned to look upon the
world with a "me vs. them" perspective. But this lens is seriously
distorted.
At the same time you have so many people who are
living in hell on this planet, there are also many people who live in a
state of inner peace, joy, and tranquility. This is because they have
learned how to surrender to the polarity of life. This acceptance to
life, no matter what happens, manifests as a state of inner serenity.
And inner serenity leads to outer serenity. The outer reality is always a
reflection of your inner state. As this transformation occurs, life is
no longer viewed as hostile. Contrarily, it is viewed as protective,
helpful, and nurturing. We no longer are asking the question, "Why does
this keep happening to me?" Instead, we are asking, "What have I done to
create this reality?" This is the shift in consciousness that all the
spiritual teachers are talking about these days. It all begins with
surrender.
When you live in a place of constant surrender, you
become a channel for a higher purpose from a place of higher purpose.
You may call this your higher Self, God, the Universe, Consciousness, or
Divine Intelligence. Whatever you call it, it is beyond this world,
beyond this realm of duality. This is the ultimate transcendence.
