And the need to be right

I've talked about different forms of consciousness and the value of paying attention. Being unconscious, as most of us are at one point or another, is, what I call, a blind choice. Reason being, most of us don't know the full color and total ease of consciousness as a choice on the menu. Or, we have commitments to maintaining image. Image, rooted in unconsciousness, is how you try to get people to see you. It’s focus is projection of what we think is right and acceptable about us.

So, between protecting our image and the lofty space of higher consciousness we get stuck in the polarity of ego. In between these two poles no expansion of consciousness is possible. What cements all of this in place is the rigidity of rightness and wrongness (ie, judgment of self and others).

So how do we break with this polarity? How do we actually experience the ease of consciousness? First acknowledge that there is a cost to maintaining your image. When your willing to have others see you as a wrong that frees up a whole lot of energy. That energy is the space of vulnerability. It’s living without a fixed point of view of who you or anyone else is. Will you be judged? Very likely. Will you have more peace, 1000%.

Can I encourage you to take a look at where you are guarding against being wrong? Can I encourage you to become more of you without the sheer terror of making a wrong decision? Can you melt into the space of no rightness and wrongness in yourself and others?

The journey between simply being awake and traversing our way to an expanded state of consciousness is only as smooth and flat as you let it be. I personally got there after much trauma and drama. But I strongly suspect it could have been a whole lot easier. If you need some finding the ease of whatever you’re going through, you know where to find me.
