(This is a channeled post.)
When we go inside and listen, we can be in touch with the divine mind. The divine mind is not the same as your mind, that is your personal mind. And the personal mind is mostly controlled by the ego. The ego is something that takes over the personal mind and wants to block the light.
When you are controlled by the ego, you don’t have access to the divine mind. The divine mind needs an opening in order to access it. But the personal mind can connect to the divine mind as long as the ego is not in control. The problem is when the ego is completely in control of the personal mind.
Some people can at least be free of the ego when they are sitting in meditation. But often people are controlled by ego when they’re not meditating. They are free of ego when they’re meditating, but they are controlled by ego when they are not meditating. The problem with this is that nothing really changes. They may have moments of insight during meditation, but it can’t be embodied when the ego is still in control.
We have to remember that whenever we go inside and listen, we have to be very clear and still. That is true meditation. It is to be very clear and still and listen. You may or may not receive messages, but you will connect to the divine mind. The goal is to always be connected to the divine mind and not to ego.
The ego doesn’t want this to happen and will try to trick you into believing it and following it. The ego is very tricky. The ego is very conniving. The ego is very manipulative. We need to learn how to see past this and stay in the divine mind. The divine mind is the place of true peace. That is where you rest in peace. That is the peace of God/source/consciousness.
We are not speaking about any specific religion here. We are speaking about Truth. We are speaking about reality. We don’t want to alienate people who don’t believe in the word God. We don’t want to alienate people who don’t follow any particular religion. And we don’t want to alienate people who follow only one particular religion.
There is One universal truth and it is underneath everything. And that truth is love. People use many different words for this, one of which is God. But the truth is Love. So when you don’t have love in your heart, you are not connected to truth. When you don’t have peace in your heart, you are not connected to truth. When you don’t have clarity in your heart, you don’t have connection to true love.
True love is what makes up everything. We can’t explain this in words, but this is the fabric, the atmosphere. The fear and smallness and negativity that the ego rests upon is also made up of love. This is very hard to understand, but the ego isn’t bad. It is confused energy. It is misdirected energy. And all energy is made up of love. Misdirected love turns on itself. When we recognize this, we can dispel it. We can connect to the divine mind and see that all else is illusion. What is not in the light of love is illusion.
Then how is the ego also made up of love and all illusion made up of love? Because there is nothing else in reality. The ego is a reflection of love, but it is reflected so many times that it gets warped. The Love no longer recognizes itself as Love. That’s why we need to free that energy up and return it to its source, which is the love in the universal mind, the divine mind, the divine heart.
We are using different terminology because there are no words to describe what we are talking about. Truth is an experience. Truth is embodiment. Truth and love are the same thing. Love is everything and truth is everything. Truth is the absolute reality of the universe. When you contradict truth, you will be lost. You will be lost in the ego mind. And the ego mind, as we have said is very tricky, like a hall of mirrors. It will keep reflecting different warped versions of truth and love back to you, which you then express as negative emotions like anger and hate and fear.
We don’t want to go into all of this right now. We just want to stress that love is the only reality. We don’t know how to express this in words. The only way is to experience it. Please close your eyes now and feel your heart. Feel the beating of your heart. And say these words:
This is the truth.
