Most of us are so attached to the egoic self that it feels real...it feels like home. The neutral zone that comes from witnessing (i.e., letting go and sitting in the seat of Self) can feel unfamiliar. It can require effort to get to and stay in this awareness. However, as we spend more time in meditation, and, more time witnessing and letting go of our attachment to ego the seat of the Self begins to feel more comfortable (more real) than the egoic self. It is like moving to a new city. At first everything in the new place feels unfamiliar and strange, but as we spend more time in our new home, neighborhood, and community they begin to feel like home.
The key is to practice sitting in the seat of the Self until it feels like your natural state.
Practice by:
...meditating,
...asking "Who am I?"
...noticing that you are the one who is aware of what is happening.
...choosing the path of unconditional happiness or the path of non-resistance (part III of the Untethered Soul)
Easter is symbolic of Jesus letting go of the human self and resurrecting as the Eternal Self. During this Holy week resurrect yourself by resting in the Higher Self as often as possible and letting go of attachment to what is happening in your life. It is only stored energy from the past that is being triggered by current situations. Let it all die away and allow a newer and Higher Self to emerge. You will begin to feel at home as your true Self.
Sweet blessings during this time of New Life!
