Uncovering Your Private Thoughts Is Key – Insights from This Instant Is Your Wonder
One of the largest secrets we strive to keep is a sense of self-governance and pride. The notion or sensation that you are crucial in some unique way, that you are adored by a unique person, that somebody is giving you unique attention, these are some of the ego’s very nuanced secrets. We are striving to hide our Sacred Self and are partaking in all these diverse games, which look to be very upsetting. It is rather depressing and it really doesn’t go anywhere, so we try to get scraps of distinctive love, attention and acknowledgment to prop ourselves up.
We labor so hard at becoming “superior people”, at obtaining greater intelligence and more skills. We want to be liked more and be more famous. The entire self-help field is focused on bettering the self so you can turn into a better you. That is another gimmick we secretly engage on ourselves, thinking we have to keep spinning our wheels trying to turn into better. This self-improvement game is another secret we can to learn to let go of. It is very relaxing when you start to realize that you do not have to become any better than you already are. You were created perfect. It is not through self-improvement that you find serenity but through self-acceptance.
As I collaborated with A Course in Miracles, I could see that there was a terror of divine love in my mind. I realized this was the ego’s dread of losing itself. The ego is afraid of being uncovered and being seen as a puff of nothingness. That is the apprehension of intimacy. We discuss about this terror in relationships, which is sometimes depicted as fear of sexual intimacy, but it is really a dread of dropping our persona, our mask of uniqueness. It is the dread of getting swept away by a magnificent love, a love so powerful that none of us can even fathom something as magnificent and powerful!
For me, those are the big secrets, because it doesn’t start off with this great realization. It always starts with feeling like you have done something inappropriate, whether you’ve masturbated, stolen something, mistreated somebody, or there is something in your mind that you have judged as so hideous that you don’t even want to meet it, you just want to dismiss about it and push it out of awareness.
Below all those memories and thoughts, is the belief that we are divided. This is the “secret” we hide. It really is an unfeasible belief, but we think that it is true; We have considered it as ghastly and have pushed it out of notice. All unconscious guilt comes from this belief in separation. And as you really give yourself over to the miracle, you feel all those hidden beliefs and secrets are being washed away and you finally face this hidden belief in disunion!
Please, share any ideas and comments with me below, I’d adore to hear about your encounter!
