Awakening from your illusion
The most conducive way to start awakening to reality, is to ground yourself in the present moment. Doing so, begins the dis-identification process with the ego and the small self, which is crucial in breaking the unhealthy mental programing that we’ve all been exposed to since birth. Breaking this life-long, habitual programing, takes serious commitment and hard work, but it is the only way to experience true freedom, peace and happiness.
Typically, awakening begins once you have suffered enough and are finally willing to surrender your personal will to something larger than yourself. You have to admit to yourself that what you’ve been doing isn’t providing the peace and happiness you claim to desire. In this stage of humility and a sincere commitment to healing the dysfunction and insanity you’ve been participating in, Universal understandings can now start to emerge within you.

Awakening
Awakening from the illusion of the small, personal, ego-self, involves recognizing and transcending these limitations. Remember, you are an infinite spiritual being, who is One with everything in the Universe, therefore, you already possess all the knowledge of the Universe. There’s nothing I can tell you that you don’t already know. To access this knowledge you must clear away the untrue and unhealthy programming you have been exposed to since birth. Transformation, that comes from this understanding, allows individuals to:
1. Connect with their true nature: Realizing their essence is beyond the ego’s boundaries. You are a spiritual being, who has infinite worth, simply because you exist. Nothing else is required.
2. Experience Oneness: Feeling interconnected with everyone and all existence. There is nothing that you’re not.
3. Let go of fear and anxiety: Facing your fear of death and embracing uncertainty, is achieved by letting go and trusting in the divinely orchestrated present moment.
4. Cultivate compassion and understanding: Seeing beyond judgments, labels and comparisons.
5. Access higher states of consciousness: Tapping into intuition, creativity, and inner wisdom that comes from the “Source”.

2. Self-Inquiry: Examining one’s thoughts, emotions, and beliefs.
3. Mindfulness: Cultivating present-moment awareness, by not following personal thoughts, judgments, labels or stories.

5. Embracing Uncertainty: Trusting in the unknown and embracing the present moment with a certainty that the Universe is always taking care of you.

Remember, awakening is not a destination; it’s a journey of discovery, growth, and transformation. This process can have many challenges as you try to live your life differently from the way that our world is structured, for example:
You will have to transcend & let go of:
- Core Beliefs & Unhealthy Thoughts
- Fear, Stress & Anxiety
- Playing the Victim, Perpetrator or Hero
- Physical Attachments
- Identification with the physical
- Your Fantasies & Illusions
- Your deeply held beliefs
- Distractions, Procrastination & Excuses
- Fearing the Future
- Torturing Yourself Over the Past
- Your victim archetype that life is happening to you, instead of for you
The Big Lie:
That you are lacking & separate from others.
Ego=Deception=Suffering
The ego’s job is to convince us the we are “Lacking” in some way, and “Separate” from others This is “The Big Lie” that every human being is born into. This deception convinces us that we must go outside ourselves and accomplish this or acquire that in order to prove our worth. This deception can cause us to feel not good enough, worthy, deserving or capable.
“Awakening from the illusion of the small, ego self” refers to a transformative shift in consciousness, where an individual transcends the limitations of their ego-centric perspective and realizes their true nature.
“You are not broken, you are merely confused”
The ego, or small self, is a mental construct that creates a sense of separation and individuality. It’s a necessary aspect of human development, but it can become limiting when it dominates our perception. The ego’s primary function is to protect and promote itself, often leading to:
1. Separation: Feeling disconnected from others, nature, and the universe.
2. Fear and anxiety: Fear of death and constant seeking of physical security through the illusional belief that we can control and manipulate life.
3. Judgment and comparison: Evaluating oneself and others based on external standards.
4. Limiting beliefs: Holding onto, restrictive and limiting, thoughts and emotions.
