Overcoming Shame and the Need to Feel Superior

It is true. We are Living Gods. Perfect expressions of Consciousness rooted in This Moment. Our Souls negotiated for an Eternity on our behalves for this moment. There is no way to logically deny that this is where you belong. You can dislike where you are and you will be proven wrong in the future, that you could have liked where you were because it was You, Your Soul’s plan all along, but then I’ll be proven wrong for making that judgement of you.

Even Your Shadow, the silhouette that looks and acts just like You – who can split from You and do things without You being consciously aware (at least for the Moment) – even Your Shadow can do no wrong.

In the darkness Your Shadow can see how quickly everyone rushes to role play to convince You that – even for a moment – scarcity truly exists. That even a Living God could experience limitation for an extended permanent period of Time. And that it could actually take away from Your Moment, right here, right now.

We are Living Gods realizing that all of the limitations we experience, every last bit of it, was arranged by our Living Souls on purpose. I mean, isn’t it obvious? Whether we are almost completely pure light or an artificial creation it’s all the same. How can “artificial” even be defined by Pure Light creating more of itself?

This world – as you sit still and look – you see it is an artificial creation. We make up rules and standards, and we struggle and share our pain, discomfort, and suffering with anyone willing to listen. We become upstanding people who uphold these rules and standards. Then we become a little curious and do things we aren’t proud of. Maybe we’re too proud – maybe we merely imagine doing something that we would be ashamed of, and then we let the world punish us for being too curious.

We punish ourselves for being too curious because “we sure as Hell deserve it” says a bellowing, gutteral dark shadow hidden just below your awareness.

“But not me” I will tell myself. “I’ve been living like a Monk for the last 7 years. I pretend to not have flesh and to not have desire. That should make me more Enlightened, right?”

And what I’m realizing is it doesnt matter. Earlier today when I sacrificed the idea of doing something that isn’t socially acceptable for the rest of Eternity, my Shadow created another version of my Self – who would have been happy to venture out in to the world and quietly torture every human he met for not having the exact same values and standards as I – and that inflated unconscious Shadow would be too pompous and ignorant to realize that everyone is allowed to be imperfect.

Even, yes, the version of my Shadow who would enjoy tormenting people. And then that Shadow would vow to force me to reincarnate and have my memory erased the moment I “slip up” and prove my “Self” wrong. Because that Shadow knows it is also Pure Light, pompous as it may be.

So what is awakening, to me? Someone who sacrificed “everything” to see “everything”? Awakening is to realize there is no such thing as a bad choice. To realize that every single person I encounter is equally as valuable as I am, even if they didn’t put the same pretentious level of commitment in to their “spiritual work” as I do.

And I bet there is a shadow version of me who will feel like even this realization – that we are all equally worthy of love and feeling happy and safe in this moment – is unsafe.

Yet You and I are worthy. We always have been and always will be. And everything We want will be given when we simply ask.

After you finish reading this article simply look up from Your phone and see that you have everything you need. Remember you have no reason to feel ashamed of who you are or what you’ve done or what you would like to do when you think nobody is watching. Simply ask and you shall receive – that is the Essence of You and everyone around You.

Your Shadow knows this, the Darkness figured this out before you did because when it’s pitch black it’s easier to perceive Perfect Light from afar. It’s also easier to feel the Perfect Light emanating within Your Heart once you’ve sacrificed everything Good to understand the essence of scarcity, shame, and limitation. Everyone you see in front of you is put there for a reason and is a perfect reflection of you. You can do no wrong

You’ve known this all along, You and I and everyone else just got too good at playing our roles. So stop playing your role, or don’t. I’m not advising or encouraging anyone to break the law for any desire you might have – you are responsible for your actions. You pay the consequences. Isn’t that such a beautiful thing? Doesn’t that make you and everyone else feel so real?

And I’m not judging you if you don’t have any desire (and I don’t feel superior to you either way, because remember, I’m role playing that I’m “enlightened”)

It’s been a long Night, and it feels good to be Awake.
