The offering up or cleaning up ego stuff is called purification. Purification is the act of letting go. This is done out of discriminative awareness. That is, you understand that you are an entity passing through a life in which the entire drama is an offering for your awakening.

You are joy, wisdom, peace, compassion, and love

Who you think you are will always be frightened of change. But it doesn't make any difference to who you truly are.

I don't have a fear and urgency feeling inside myself about the state of the world affairs and everything collapsing.

I help people as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help people... To me, that's what the emerging game is all about.

In the depth of the soul is the atman, the oversoul. And that oversoul is really love and compassion, peace, joy, and wisdom.

I feel vulnerable because my mind - because of the stroke, my mind doesn't focus. And then I feel vulnerable because I don't understand the world around me.
