Breaking Down Illusion—The Keys To Mastering Our Lives
It is your conviction and convinced-ness that the drama is REAL, that makes it all the more REAL for you.
It’s not real. None of it. But your emotional disposition, undisciplined nervous systems and unawakened imagination will try and signal the complete opposite.
What seems to be, is, for those to whom it seems to be.
And this is why those who are stuck in downward perpetual cycles stay stuck.
“But it’s real. My bills are real. Aren’t they?”
For sure, and your anxiety, worry and lack based dominating states of consciousness surrounding the survival of the body help—how? How does even believing that it is “real” assist in creating peace?
Scary stuff here. Reality isn’t real… has Michael lost touch with reality?
With most peoples ideas of reality, yes.
Awareness is the only reality.
And awareness is the substance from which all things are made that are made.
Look, if all things come from a singular substance/element/source… does it not make sense that despite the seeming multitudes of manifestations of such.. that whatever they may appear to be at first.. they are still the same source from which they came?
Can an object and it’s source be separated? Ah… duality. Yummy stuff here.

You are convinced there is a way and source and reason for IT, whatever IT is, being the way it is, other than the sole fact that you have determined as such …
Not knowing that if you saw the thing you were examining, seeming objectively as an outpicturing, as a result, as a manifestation of YOU, this viewpoint would allow you to frame the entire situation differently (i.e shift your concept of yourself), and your experience would change with it.
HERE is the kicker—we are infinite awareness appearing as seeming individualized portions of consciousness. We only believe that latter portion BECAUSE we believe that we are the body.
You create because it is literally your nature.
Every single day via the nature of thought, attention and imagination, via consciousness we leverage this wonderful law. We quite literally paint the screen of space with it.
But as long as we are convinced things exist with no regard of us, and apart from us, we remain enslaved to circumstance.
So, you can begin to accept that you have believed a lie.. (that things are a certain way for you other than how have deemed them).. understanding that it was a choice made in ignorance.
You didn’t know.
We didn’t know.
Our parents didn’t know better.
Neither did our teachers.
That’s okay.
We know better now.
And as we dive deeper into the experience of who we really are (infinite, non conditioned awareness).. we find that shifting our dominant states of consciousness (the key to mastering our lives) becomes way easier.
It is hard to shift because we have placed so much faith in the SEEMING reality of things. So much so that we are afraid to believe that something else other than what we are convinced is true, is true. Ironically, preventing ourselves from experiencing the truth that we can (and have been) create/creating our circumstances all along.
“…All power on heaven and earth has been given to me. All that I have, I give to you. Do not rejoice that the demons are subject to your name.. but that your name is written in heaven.”
