On suffering and exiting the ego thought system:
I know this eclipse season is kicking a lot of egoic booty. Many are likely feeling despair. I know I sure did many times in the thickest of the egoic unraveling. I listened to my old friend Eckhart yesterday. Used to be devoted to him yet had not heard him in a long time. He was so matter of fact about the connection between suffering and awakening. Sometimes it takes great pressure to be willing to let go of the known and enter into the unknown vastness of consciousness. How much suffering is enough to provide sufficient motivation to do the inner work and stay vigilant, stay devoted? That is a personal decision. Since I had suffered from anxiety for most of my life, my commitment was high. I had just had enough of suffering. Many I see are trying to get free with physical exertion and activity or medicine. I have never met a person who has gotten free this way. While I do not personally know anyone well who is totally free, I know a few who are relatively quite free. Every single one of them suffered tremendously until they had enough. So are we willing to re-purpose our suffering and take the dive? Ultimately everyone will make this choice. The question is when. If you have had enough of suffering, find a way to exit the egoic thought system.
One of the best ways I know is through the total Transformation Course (TTC). I will be beginning a new Course in September. It is one of my greatest joys to be an escort out of suffering and in to joy. I would be absolutely delighted to have you join me if this is of interest. The amazing thing is it is done by donation, with the request donations be based on value received. How fair is that! The Course was the rocket fuel I need to get more free than ever before, to leave more suffering behind. Yes I still get caught but generally not for long. Hours is now a long time for me. I will be in radio silence as I make my own passage through the next eclipse. The tentative start date for the TTC is September 12 6-8 pm Pacific. I will give more information after the July 27th eclipse and my own cocooning. I send a giant love wave to all of you. Safe surfing of these huge waves of energy. Know they are here to serve you.
