Infinite Self "Having the Courage to Go Beyond"

Music by Estradasphere Track 2 Stuart Wilde Infinite Self Step 3 Having the Courage to GO Beyond Step 3, Having the Courage to Go Beyond, is the act of letting go and allowing your life to enter into the spontaneous dynamic of free-flow. That means less structure, more trust, believing, and taking life as you find it, rather than trying to force it into a preconceived pattern and getting angry when it wont allow you to jam it into a corner that way. The ego is naturally resistant to letting go. It wants to hold on to its sense of power and to dominate your life and the lives of others. It needs to control because it feels insecure. So it may be frightening to let go, but in my veiw it is more frightening to stay where you are. In the world of the ego and intellect, you don't have to develop blind trust. You can hope to rely on past experience and thinking things out and, hopefully, that works for you most of the time. But as a spiritual being, trust is vital. In the dynamic, exhilerating world of the Infinite Self, you're flying blind. It has no limits, so its bound to carry you to unfamiliar ground-and that is what makes this whole process fascinating. The journey from ego to spirit entails resilving the paradoxes of this human existence. The crux of the matter boils down to trust. You have to have the courage to embrace an idea, accept it, and believe it--BEFORE you have any real proof that the energy is there for you, or that the idea will work. You have to let go of that bad intellectual habit that says your ego personality always knows best. By giving the infinity within you credence, you empower it to come into your life. It is almost as if you have to lose yourself a little in order to find yourself again at a higher level of energy. If you won't let go and trust a little, your ego-personality will constantly block off your inner power, and you miss the benefit of the subtle awareness and extrasensory perception that you're entitled to as a spiritual being. Agree with yourself, in a quiet moment of prayer or contemplation, that you DO have the courage to be different. You will change, and you will fight the ego's lack of energy by embracing a few new ideas. You may get some flak from people around you because you want to change, but so what? In a stagnant situation, anything is better than staying where you are. Next, have the courage to accept and weather the pain and aggrevation that the ego will undoubtedly put you through as you try to disempower its government of your life. It isn't going to like what is going on. It will protest with logic and emotion and fine sounding arguements, hoping to turn you around. When that happens, stiffen your resolve, and perform some discipline that the ego won't like. Throw yourself in the river at 4:00am every morning for a week. That should fix it, pronto! In conclusion, to The Courage to Go Beyond, I'd add "the courage to be vulnerable." As you change and grow, the ego will feel assailed and threatened. If you have little or no resistance, you'll be fine; if you resist and fight, it will hurt a lot. So be courageous, allow yourself to become vulnerable. Put aside the macho, dogmatic, insisent psychology that most people suffer from. Enter, instead, into the intense spiritual beauty of moving and flowing without necessarily knowing which way to go or how to get there. Believe. Believe. Believe.
