Why is enlightenment so difficult?

More observations and questions than answers…

Personal observations, not necessarily Truths:  

We are all part of The One… 

Source…

The Ego helps us to survive, by differing ourselves from Source, creating a self.  

Billions of selves…  

To paraphrase Ken Wilber:  “Because is it less fun having dinner alone…”  

Most individuals are not interested in seeing any further than the small self…  

Some of us are compelled to contemplation, to attempt seeing Truth. 

This contemplation may allow us to see through this Ego.  

Initially seeing through this Ego can be very painful… 

Like being torn asunder…  

Has been described as swallowing a red-hot ball of iron…  

The pain passes…  

Perhaps a great sense of peace arises… 

A sense of resting within Source.  

Many methods…

After contemplation… 

The Ego spontaneously reforms.  

But, with time spent in contemplation, we see the ephemeral nature of this Ego…

Constantly changing and morphing…

Realizing this Ego is only a construct of this Mind-Body.  

Keeping a toe dipped in Source, during daily living…  

Resting in Source, perhaps arises a feeling that everything is One Thing…

If we are all one, compassion for all arises…

Everyone is in your family…

We can put on this comfortable coat of Ego, and walk in this world with compassion…  

Humans may not be the only beings on this Earth that rest within Source…

Perhaps the whales consciously rest in Source…  

All living beings rest in Source, likely in deep dreamless sleep…  

Animals that are forced into states without sleep, they die…  

Resting in Source unconsciously, may be a requirement for living…

Resting in Source, in the conscious state, may be healing…  

Making the unconscious now conscious, is often healing…  

Perhaps Source needs us as well…  

We are the sensory organs of Source…  

We are also the hands of Source…  

We can put on this Ego overcoat and walk in the world… 

Performing good deeds, actions of kindness and compassion…  

It is a privilege to be incarnated…  

We can feel when we are aligned with Source…   

Check in with your own questions and observations…  

Check in with your own truths…  Are they Truths?
