You are here to enable the divine purpose of the Universe to unfold. That is how important you are!

The ego wants to want more than it wants to have. And so the shallow satisfaction of having is always replaced by more wanting.

Consciousness is a vast ocean and thinking is the waves & ripples on the surface of the ocean.

Living up to an image that you have of yourself or that other people have of you is inauthentic living.

Your inner purpose is an essential part of the purpose of the whole, the universe and its emerging intelligence. Your outer purpose can change over time. It varies greatly from person to person. Finding and living in alignment with the inner purpose is the foundation for fulfilling your outer purpose. It is the basis for true success.

Surrender becomes so much easier when you realize the fleeting nature of all experiences and that the world cannot give you anything of lasting value. You then continue to meet people, to be involved in experience and activities, but without the wants and fears of the egoic self. That is to say, you no longer demand that a situation, person, place, or event should satisfy you or make you happy. It's passing and imperfect nature is allowed to be.

If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into increased aliveness, alertness, and creativity.
