What is happening now is creating a powerful opportunity to truly create the life you desire and to grow and evolve self in ways not possible before. Those who play the stock market know that when the market collapses, buying opportunties abound. In fact, some of the wealthiest people in the stock market became wealthy by taking advantage of the times the market collapsed.

Now, the world is collapsing giving you the rare opportunities for growth, evolution and co-creation of your dreams in ways never possible before. What took years of disciplined work on self, can now be accomplished in months. However, you must take take advantage of the energies that are here. Just as if you don’t buy the stock when the market is down, if you sit on the sidelines of your life complaining that it is falling apart and don’t set your itent to take advantage of the opportunity that is now here, you will miss the timing.

For those aware of the energies here, what is happening now is no surprise. It has been predicted and prophetised for thousands of years. Mass consciousness has misperceived the messages as apocalypse, the end of the world. While it may be the end of the world as we know it, it is actually the precious beginning of a new world, a wonderful world based on heart and authenticity.

What does this mean for you personally? Much like what is happening in the world on a bigger scale, you may find aspects of your life falling away. While on the surface this may look like a loss, and may not be pleasant, if you are able to look deeper you wil find that it is really a blessing in disguise. It is a blessing because it opens the way to a new, better, more authentic life where your deepest hopes, dreams and desires can be realized in ways never before possible.

The ego and those things built on ego must fall away for the authentic to be born. By ego I mean anything that is not authentic, anything that is not Who you truly are. Perhaps it is a job that has no meaning for you, a relationship that is not healthy, the new energies that are here now are clearing the way for a much higher energy…an energy more aligned to your authenticity.

Look a little deeper at what is happening in the world and your life now. Shift your perception and you will see what an amazing time this is. You will then see how you personally can take advantage of the energies present and use them as they are meant to be used – to catapult you to the next level of your evolution, and to create the life of your dreams.  There is tremendous help available to you know if you open to and allow it.

What is the Ego

The ego is one of those words that is thrown around in many different ways, and can have a different meaning depending on the context. Psychology speaks about the Ego and the Superego for example. In everyday conversation, we talk about ego as being equivalent to over inflated self-importance. However, in a spiritual growth context the meaning is specific and through understanding what the ego is and how it is formed we are better able to deal with it. We need to deal with it because ego prevents us from realizing our Unlimited Potential.

What causes suffering? It is really quite simple. Suffering occurs when we are disconnected from Self. The Self contains essential qualities of Love, Oneness, Merging, Trust, Knowingness, Abundance, Empowerment, true Value and Worth, and so on. The qualities are essential, authentic. They cannot be understood, only experienced.

The ego frantically tries to mimic essential qualities but they are far beyond ego’s capabilities. Essential qualities flow through the Self from All That Is. The ego’s existence is based on separateness. As such, it is cut off from Source, the very Source from which Essential qualities flow. Suffering occurs when there is this disconnection from Self. The ego tries to mimic Love, but is only capable of co-dependency. The ego tries to mimic Abundance, but is only capable of greed. It tries to mimic Merging and Oneness, but turns it into fear of loss.

The essential qualities of the Authentic Self are energetic in nature. In Toltec terms they lie just beyond the 2^nd attention. Essential qualities can be access through energetic processes. However, the best way to live in essence is to live from the Self that we are, versus the layers of ego that surround Self.

There comes a point on one’s spiritual path when they have tasted the Authentic Self. One has worked diligently to peel off the layers of ego. They have connected with Self. However, it is fleeting and one becomes lost again in a fragmented self, or self-image – the false personality where ego resides. When one is disconnected, it is near impossible to recall the Authentic Essential qualities of Self.

After a substantial amount of work on healing and growth, one knows sufficiently what is Ego and what is Authentic in Self. One knows they always have a choice – to choose a fragmented self or false self-image, or to choose an Authentic aspect of Self. If they choose the false self, they inevitably set themselves up for suffering. Granted, in the short term, sometimes choosing the false self seems to give them a temporary fix of fulfillment or happiness. But, as it is not Authentic, it soon passes only to be replaced by suffering. Essential Qualities run far far deeper than a temporary happiness.

Many students in the Toltec Mystery School are at the place where it is simply a matter of choice. What will you choose in each moment? Will you choose the old, habitual ways of false self-image, or will you choose an Authentic aspect of Self? Will you continue to choose suffering, or will you choose, Love, Fulfillment, Bliss, Freedom – essential qualities that exude from Self?

Love and Light,

Kristopher
