Distractions from Essence

Don’t be distracted by your
distractions! I know that’s what they are for, but ask yourself
“What am I distracting myself from?” More than likely it is
something perceived as uncomfortable, threatening or fearful. These
fears are self-perpetuating as long as they remain unseen and
unexamined. To free yourself from the tyrnanny of the egoic mind,
each belief and assumption that makes you unhappy must be examined
and seen to be false. It is true that the Truth will set you free.
It is more important to have the experience of truth than to have
this understanding. At your core - the part of you that cannot be
further reduced, you are Joyful Love. Our spiritual path is one way
is encountering the fear in order to reveal the hidden love.
Often fears can be deconstructed to reveal one of the five pointer sisters. The kanchukas are the five beliefs that all human beings share which are reflections of our imagined separation from God. They all boil down to a sense of separation and scarcity. In a sense each one of these can be a reminder or pointer that we have strayed away from the Awareness of this inner essential Joy. This Joy has no cause and is independant of all things of the world. In a sense it is no-thing.
