The Journey Home.

Jonathan Francois Douglas OHaly - 7/12/2011 Wander out of the shadows. Do not shield your eyes from the sun. Let the light blind you. Let it reroute all of your neural pathways. From the ashes of the great fire you will rise again. And be reborn. Let your mind wander around the great illuminated thoughts of the ancient ones. The towering figures of the past that loom so large in our collective consciousness not because of material accomplishment but because of the high frequency that they attuned themselves to spiritually. From here on in there is only one path for one to travel upon. The journey is one of unfolding into ones self. As we travel further and further into the infinite mind we must learn to let go and let nature shape and lead us. As the human being tries and labours so to become enlightened thinking at all times that he or she will figure it all out, that doing this or that will finally be the magical key opening the final gate of true perception and knowledge. As the human being pushes itself as hard as it can towards enlightenment and non duality as a result of this having its ego form start to unravel. It is in the very extreme state of helplessness faced with the futility of its own efforts that the human mind finally gives up and lets nature take back its own. One may think that hey I am ready to give in and let enlightenment finally enter my life. The human being becomes tired on the great path back into the spiritual self. The key word in the journey is, process. You cant let go unless you have gone through the whole process until your ego finally gives up on itself and thus lets the conditions for resurrection be initiated. No matter how hard you may try you cant let go and become enlightened

consciously. Its an unconscious process of transformation. Which you consciously push yourself down. Who you are, everything that you are, your thought process, your identity, the sum of everything that makes you an individual is what we call ego. Imagine that you would die but yet you would somehow still exist even without all of your memories. Or on a more limited level that you would get amnesia. There is a part of us, in fact the chief part of us, actual awareness, that is not of this world. Born into physical existence awareness becomes fettered by material existence and forms its self identity fully on concrete reality. Hence the human ego. When the human ego glimpses a higher reality, when its thoughts start to ponder the true reality of spiritual thought, then a journey may begin. When the human being thinks that hey nothing else in the world is as important as this, i am going to dedicate my life to figuring all this out, then what we have is a rare event occurring within the confines of material thinking. We speak of needing to let go. People dont know how to let go. They dont understand the concept. The spiritual process, spiritual transformation is the journey into this reality. To have things in your life begin to unfold naturally. For the higher self to be fully incorporated into the human mind and physical existence then the human being must learn to think differently. To such an extreme degree that the human ego cannot survive the final outcome. The human ego not exactly being you but instead being what you think you are, your thought process, how you have been conditioned to react to the world. Its like you are a computer and for you to ascend you need a new operating system, the old one wont boot the right programs. The human being identifies with and is enmeshed in its operating system to such an extremely high degree that it can not see true reality, enlightenment.

The spiritual journey can be a long and arduous one. We can think that practicing all of these important and evolved things will lead us to be happier and happier. However most often for people who take the journey extremely seriously the opposite however becomes truth. We try to to incorporate ideas of higher thought, ideas that are paradoxical in nature and more and more begin to see the design flaws in our own limited ways of thinking and thought. The spiritual journey is a cocoon. The spiritual journey is a tunnel for the most serious practitioner. At the end of the tunnel is the light.
