How to Be a New Energy Creator; Part 2
How to Be a New Energy Creator
Time, Spiritual Ego and Suffering
Part 2 of a 3 Part Series
So in the last post I talked about awakening and I wanted to address what I referred to as the crashing down period and what I’ve come to realize that was all about.
So I found myself back in the reality that the limited mind created.
Relative reality began to reconstruct itself around the belief systems that I had not yet seen in the subconscious. The mind just recreates what it knows to be true because I do not yet know how to align it with consciousness.
If you don’t find your own way in you are vulnerable to all the beliefs lurking in your own darkness.
So not only am I back in conceptual time but because I have no mastery over relative reality I don't realize that a new center is starting to build itself around the mystical experience.
The ego claims it as its own, as its new normal and time and space starts responding to it.
Ego starts gathering ideas, thoughts, beliefs, perspectives, and memories. These things all create a gravity and a real feeling reality begins forming.
A reality where this new spiritual identity is born and is moving through its journey to get back to heaven.
It is using the only thing it knows how to use to “get there”.
It’s using conceptual time to give itself an existence.
This kind of time is the number one issue because when you buy into it you are blindly perpetuating the only structure that identity can thrive in.
⏳⌛️⏳
So the way that I am personally able to really see this for the truth is by backing away from the need to understand with the linear mind because the linear mind flips Reality around. Bare with me here.
By letting go of trying to understand by using the linear way of thinking, I am able to lift the gravity enough of this relative reality and see whats going on.
I am able to loosen everything up so that the mind can begin to resonate and align with consciousness. Consciousness does not require time. This is a key to the creation of New Energy.
New Energy does not require time to be created.
It is created beyond time. It is created immediately through seeing whatever comes your way to be seen.
Im talking about internal seeing.
When there is a wound that resurfaces you see it, when there is a pattern you notice it, a story is looked at right as it comes to you.
There is no identity who adds time in between the beginning of a story and a resolution. It’s all just seeing in the now moment. Immediate.
You become a self-generating living energetic machine of new energy this way. Time has no place in it.
Identity is given no chance to resurrect itself and add on to what is.
Because the only way identity is given life is by making conceptual time real. Seeing through conceptual time into the truth ends identity.
A few years ago I had a lucid dream.
It was like a sequence of experiences moving through my awareness. I was roller skating, playing chess, dancing, etc.
I was totally aware and lucid that it was a dream. It was fascinating!
Then something changed. As time went on I began to get entangled in the experiences.
So for example I had put my jacket down and I was worried it would get dirty. Then I found myself at a wedding and there was a fight and I had opinions on who was right and I was getting worked up and got caught up in the drama.
I started to realize that I was losing my lucidity.
I got sucked in.
As the dream went on instead of the experiences just moving through, something seemingly solid had formed that began to create meaning in experience. And the formation of this seemingly solid center made it seem like I was a separate self and that this separate self was moving through time and space.
Ultimately I totally forgot I was dreaming.
💤😴💤
It took me years of backing away from the mind to understand what this dream was showing me.
So in order for fixed identities to form they need the concept of time as the backdrop.
Adding time as the backdrop allows for experiences to accumulate over time, which lead to memories, thoughts, opinions, beliefs, perspectives, etc.
When you build up enough of these elements they make you feel like a solid person. You develop a persona who is a women born and raised in New York who went to catholic school and was bit by a dog at 2 and so is scared of dogs at 30 and loves poetry and doesn't like X,Y and Z.
It makes you think you are a person moving through a big world and all action comes from the belief in that separation. So life becomes all about this personality that you think you are.
This inherently flawed foundation of separation breeds everything we see in the world of ego.
It’s a world where energy is finite and so the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and we are struggling for resources. Some have the power and most don't.
We look to the world to give us what we need.
We are scared and anxious and feel very alone because we don’t know whats real and whats not.
What I’m walking us through is the inception of suffering.
We become dependent on time and space to give us energy.
We have to get an education which takes time, to get a degree, to get a job which takes time.
Everything requires time when you think you are a person moving through time.
So when we sense that there’s more then what we’ve known to be true and we start seeking more truth we use time as we’ve always used it.
We think we need it to know who we really are. We think we need time to understand spiritual pointers. That we need it to make internal changes. That time will heal wounds from the past or we think that that repeating story will lessen with time.
None of that is true. It’s just the fixed ego keeping itself alive.
It puts off real action.
You can feel the difference very clearly between acting from wholeness which always unifies and acting from separation which keeps you stuck in finite reality because it does not resolve anything.
Nothing goes new, energy just keeps circling in time.
Real action is immediate, it’s whole, it comes from a place before time.
What awakening shows us is that time has nothing to do with it.
And what’s actually true, what’s always been true is that you are the backdrop.
You are the constant.
The mind makes us think that we are moving through time when in fact it’s the other way around.
Time moves through you. It serves you in whatever capacity you understand yourself to be.
The mind isn’t in charge of creating reality, it serves you too. It cant create in any real sense, it can only manifest with finite energy because that is the domain it lives in.
The only thing that veiled this truth is the ego minds addition of time.
That’s it.
We needed it when we wanted to gain experience to be able to stay in a body. We don't need it anymore. And we have to back away from it in order to see what it’s been doing, in order to see it clearly.
We can back away from this belief structure, we take steps without using our feet by making internal motions without movement. We can make real actions that create passageways out of the ego mind into your wholeness.
And flip it all back around to the way Reality really is.
⏳⌛️⏳
I back away again and again from the one thing that keeps my identity in a fixed position.
The inner investigations aren't needed to “get me there” they are needed to finally see the truth in my own falsity. My own error in thinking about how time works gets shattered.
Living energy, New energy, is the constant as life steams through you and whatever arises you are there in that Now to observe and act, observing and acting. The observing IS the acting and vice versa.
This creates new energy.
If you stop running, freedom is right there. Immediately there. It’s not in time.
Conceptual time is the death of living energy. It inverts the truth and makes you think that you need it when in fact time is just a construct, it is a creation that came later.
End conceptual time, end the only thing that the fixed identity can thrive in and end the suffering.
🔥❤️🔥🔥
When I had that mystical experience beyond the mind, beyond time, there is a realization at some point that the ego structures don't exist there. So as I make my way back and learn to abide in that potential, I realize what those structures are because I’ve created enough space by pausing and looking. And I see that the identity requires them to exist.
I do not.
In fact I can live from beyond those tools and still be here.
I can keep the body which still requires biological time and not waste the years it has on this planet living in the conceptual time of the mind. It’s a total waste.
We can use the years we have here on our passion, on true creation, on being living energy instead of energy that lives in the past or the future which don't exist.
Can you imagine what kind of potentials we are opening up for the biology when the conceptual mind isn’t the one in charge?
So spiraling back to the beginning, not only had I found myself back in relative reality which was a hot mess because I have ego mind running the show, I also now have a new identity forming who is a special kind of jerk.
The spiritual ego. Yikes! Scary!
Spiritual ego can kick in big time after you have a mystical experience because the ego thinks it’s now been upgraded.
A new identity begins to form and it can form because I was not yet able to understand how identity comes to life.
So it slowly begins to create a new center. It begins to create thoughts about its goodness, it’s enlightenment, it’s new and better status. It creates beliefs about what it has become.
It feels like a battle is going on inside me.
The less time I spend in wanting to make a transcendent experience be my permanent state the better off I am.
The more time I spend in that wanting state the stronger that spiritual ego gets. It’s a painful and confusing place to be.
The spiritual ego isn’t much different then any fixed ego, they all build themselves in the same way using the same tools.
It’s just something to pay attention to because the spiritual ego is particularly sticky. Especially if too much time is spent there or if the awakening was very powerful.
Here are some qualities of the spiritual ego that I have experienced =
Spiritual ego (SE) thinks the human needs to be better to live up to some made up standard. It is a harsh judge of the human. It thinks the human needs to act “spiritual”. It makes up what is appropriate and then scolds itself for not reaching those standards.
There can be a Hero/Messiah complex, even at subtle levels- Feeling better than / superior / like a savior / above.
SE bypasses what is because it says "I should" be feeling only good things like gratitude / joy / love etc. So it will start shifting perspectives into “love and light” feeling states instead of looking at what is in order for it to remain in its position.
SE can only live in concept, it can’t live in actual experience/sensation which is immediately felt in the body without thought or story. So ego wants/needs information to think about and analyze and compare itself to and judge whether it has leveled up in its understanding. So it can praise itself or berate itself or others. When we just let everything be what it is without adding thought or story, ego starts to wither away.
SE will add beliefs rather than tear beliefs down. So it will add more onto who it thinks it is, it will inflate itself with story in some way. Instead of reversing away from story so that it can all just crumble away it will add a few more rooms to the house or renovate the basement bathroom to keep itself going.
And last but not least it will deny its own existence! It will say, “I don't have a spiritual ego! Maybe he does but I don't!”
So keep your inner eyes and ears open for any tactics that are keeping you tied up in mental time so that you can step off that old way into the New. We step back away from linear, horizontal, sequential movement into the vertical now through inner motions.
These motions create New Energy and maybe even a New Earth reality born from the love of bringing energy and consciousness together in the now moment.
A New Earth where love is all there is.
I’ll talk more about the role of space and detachment in bringing energy and consciousness together as well as what this all feels and looks like in more detail.
If you have specific questions on what Ive shared you can put them in the comments or email me.
