The Power of "I"

Physicality is like a conspiracy to rob you of your identity. From a young age you are surrounded by distractions and amusements designed to capture your attention. In so doing, your attention is directed away from your internal world and you don't experience a deeper sense of yourself. Some people may laugh at this concept of an internal world, but I laugh at the concept of an external one. Everything external is the great irony. It is lauded as some vast important priority that people call reality. It is this external reality that makes people into pessimistic "realists". The irony is that external reality is not your True reality, and in fact, is the smallest part of you. The more you focus on the external, the less you know the deeper you. You are the author of your reality; external reality is not the author of you.

When you have discovered yourself deeply, you become a master of your environment. You become detached to the external world, and instead the external world becomes attached to you. Instead of you chasing worldly goals, worldly goals chase you.

This is the great paradox. Focus externally and you become weaker internally and paradoxically are less able to achieve your material goals. By becoming detached from the fruits of your actions, you are able to maintain a deep profound wholeness within. This in turn makes you more effective in every aspect of your life including the outer world. When you live a rich inner life, your outer life also becomes rich.

The true reason why external focus is unwise is because it is literally the smallest part of you. It is the smallest, the weakest, the least intelligent, the ugliest and most insignificant part of both you and reality itself.

This may sound crazy to you. Because this is exactly the opposite of what is taught by society and probably by your very family. It is the great deception. And yet, this is exactly how it was meant to be. It is the great Troll of Life and the great Mystery.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to arrive at your truest identity. This is found both deep in your loving heart and through the heights of inspiration. Chasing external desires will not get you there, but when you arrive, you arrive at the Ultimate power. #92
