Revealing Your Individual Insights Is Vital – Insights from This Time Is Your Miracle
One of the biggest secrets we strive to keep is a sense of autonomy and self-esteem. The idea or sensation that you are important in some distinct way, that you are adored by a special person, that somebody is giving you distinctive attention, these are some of the ego’s very subtle secrets. We are striving to hide our Heavenly Self and are playing all these different games, which look to be very disconcerting. It is rather depressing and it really doesn’t go anywhere, so we attempt to get scraps of distinctive love, attention and acclaim to prop ourselves up.
We work so hard at becoming “better people”, at gaining greater intelligence and more skills. We want to be admired more and be more well-known. The entire self-help sector is focused on enhancing the self so you can become a better you. That is another gimmick we secretly engage on ourselves, thinking we have to keep spinning our wheels trying to turn into better. This self-improvement game is another secret we can to learn to let go of. It is very soothing when you start to grasp that you do not have to grow into any better than you already are. You were created perfect. It is not through self-improvement that you find peace but through self-acceptance.
As I worked with A Course in Miracles, I could notice that there was a dread of divine love in my mind. I understood this was the ego’s fear of losing itself. The ego is afraid of being revealed and being seen as a puff of nothingness. That is the dread of intimacy. We speak about this dread in relationships, which is sometimes projected as fear of sexual intimacy, but it is really a dread of dropping our persona, our mask of individuality. It is the fear of getting swept away by a splendid love, a love so intense that none of us can even fathom something as glorious and powerful!
For me, those are the big secrets, because it doesn’t start off with this great consciousness. It always starts with feeling like you have done something incorrect, whether you’ve pleasured yourself, swiped something, abused an individual, or there is something in your mind that you have judged as so ghastly that you don’t even want to face it, you just want to dismiss about it and push it out of notice.
Underneath all those recollections and thoughts, is the belief that we are parted. This is the “secret” we hide. It really is an unfeasible belief, but we assume that it is true; We have deemed it as terrible and have pushed it out of notice. All unconscious guilt comes from this belief in separation. And as you really offer yourself over to the miracle, you feel all those hidden beliefs and secrets are being washed away and you finally encounter this hidden belief in division!
