Frictions Becoming Pearl: A Slow Awakening

It is the soul that fascinates me! For once I realize I am a soul, I can become willing to drop the superego, the ego, the false personality, the machine, or what Eckhart Tolle so deftly describes as the “pain body.” I can begin to awaken to another consciousness. To awaken can be the beginning of dying away those ancient forms. To die away those ancient forms involves awareness. To die away those ancient forms involves a loving discipline as an inner witness to my self-talk. To die away those ancient forms involves effort. To die away those ancient forms means not identifying with them as the true self, but to stay present to the quietness of the soul. To die away those ancient forms means to let intuition lead and the ego/machine to follow, or disappear. When I get a glimpse of the peace, the light and the joy of the true self, then I know through verification that there is no separation between the soul and the God that created it and everyone and everything.
