A Quick Insight


What does ego dissolution really mean?

Did we overcomplicate the idea of detachment from ego?

By dissolution of the 'self' or 'ego,' we mean the dissolution of identification with the conditioning of the mind.

When we no longer identify with the conditioned beliefs about ourselves, the world and one another, then it is no longer possible to take things poisonally.

That's right. When we are 'unconditioned,' we simply see life as it is, and experience peace. When we make things 'mean something,' we do that from our past thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. Thus, our perception of the pure nature of reality is clouded. We take things poisonally. We judge and make mountains out of molehills.

We don't do this because we're bad or wrong, but because we let the slides in the projector convince us they were reality, rather than knowing the light illuminating the slides being the reality.

It's actually really simple when we think of it this way.

The next time a charge or discomfort arises, try simply stating to yourself, "Dissolve the imprint." See what happens.

All is well,

Before replying in a charged moment... Melt the Cage Made of Framing Words In everyday life, how reactive we are in different circumstances will fluctuate. Setting up our day with positive thoughts as we wake will soften the entire day's vibrations. But moments arise that trigger a reaction, and it is super hard not to respond, especially when a sore spot is touched emotionally. This is when the body might tighten, and old evidence from similar past situations will surface, leading to...

Shareable Waves & Nested Interlocking Reality Fields Co-creating Reality Fields Is One of the Big Reasons We Came To Earth Within our larger world are countless smaller “shared reality fields”: families, friendships, communities, political identities, professions, cultures, relationships, spiritual paths, emotional states, and internal belief systems. These fields overlap and interact continuously. We may belong to several of them at once. In my latest article, I call this an interlocking...

How Do We Navigate the Spoken Social Sphere with Greater Coherence and Compassion? Awareness and Attention: Sovereignty, Dominance & Shared Realities I woke up this morning thinking about a recent interaction where a well-meaning person simply couldn't stop sharing anecdotes and dominated the conversation, even after I mentioned we were trying to focus on something else. The truth is, we can all likely recall instances where we were so bursting to share that we may have overridden cues, and...
