Good news for the ego-self

The ego-self is always looking to make a deal… If I meditate, can I become enlightened? If I work on myself, will I be loved? If I straighten up and fly right, can I have a life free of pain and suffering?

Ah, that ego so full of ifs and thens! BTW – those ifs and thens are usually based on rejecting the NOW for some fantasy of a blissful future.

Well, ego-self, suffer no more! The answer to all your hopes, dreams, wishes, longings and fantasies is behind one of these three doors – Let’s Make a Deal!!!

Let’s Make a Deal – Which door would you choose?

Let’s take a peak behind each door while our contestant, the ego-self, thinks about which door to choose.

Behind Door 1 – Sadness

Behind Door 2 – Holy Cow!

Behind Door 3 – Frustration!

The ego-self is hoping for that all-expenses-paid vacation to wonderland or that brand new Model 3 Tesla. How disappointed it will be with any of these choices.

BUT, there’s good news from the REAL – it’s behind all the doors. In fact, it’s everywhere! Everyone goes home a winner!

This is the REAL’s open secret – it’s hidden in plain sight – just slightly obscured by our reactivity, concepts, attitudes, beliefs, convictions… the list is almost endless, but mostly just goes round and round in circles.

The elucidating perspective is not in seeking the REAL – remember, it’s everywhere – but in investigating what is in the way of our perceiving the real right now in the present moment. Inquiring into our sadness, holy cows, frustration or whatever – they are all doorways to the REAL.
