Re: The ego what is it? How to transcend?
Was Yogananda an atheist before he began his mission?
Is the path to enlightenment the path of remaining unconscious until God decides to fix one?
I choose to get my information from my Source. My Being.
You may say: But 14, you have not written these books, you don't know, these guys know because they're one with God, and you're not. And I say: That is truly an illusion for God is in me Now as God is in you Now. I see so clearly, I see so with my Heart.
As far as I understand it, Eckhart Tolle does not teach the path to enlightenment of remaining totally unconscious to the Now as he did. As far as I understand it, he teaches that waiting is never going to get anyone into the Now. Only the present moment is real, is enlightened. Enlightenment does not happen then, it happens Now. We can say: well I'm not there yet, I don't trust my Heart Now, I will read and say they know, I don't know. That's ok, but from my perspective enlightened teachings are about Being Now, not then, NOW.
It is true that some teachers receive a gift of Light to awaken them from an unawakened state, however, this is not how it has to be, nor is it how it works for most. For most, it is about Being. It is about doing the work, surrendering the ego, and one day, yes one day rebirth occurs. But it is not a fluke, it is not accident, it is reality that manifest when the illusions have been surrendered.
OF COURSE:
I am not the doer.
Is this an argument? Can we get past this point. The thinker is not the doer.
The BE'er is the doer.
Who BE'S? I BE. I AM. That's I.
I AM not the thinker. I AM.
You say, no, you are not, only special people are. I say: that is an illusion.
I AM.
I BE.
I let the I AM within BE. That's who I AM.
