You could say we’re too deep in this dream. We don’t see that our life would be anything but me and this body. Usually we just live our lives and we believe that other people and events cause our emotions. When we are angry, the reason is always in others or what happened, and our thoughts and feelings came automatically from these things. When we have a bad mood, others have done us something bad. We can’t choose what we feel.
We are responsible for our feelings – our thoughts. Even if somebody has done something to you, you choose your emotions. You are responsibile for your feelings and thoughts and how you act due to what happens you. You are not on autopilot, you can think about what happened and next time try to change your thoughts. When you see that everything that happens is not the result of things around you, but how you interpret it and how you choose to feel. When you realize that you have control over what you think and feel, you realize that you really have the responsibility and you can make the choices. You are not a prisoner of others, but you are released from your own prison, to be just “me”. You are no longer just a body, where things just happen. People say and do things and automatically you feel as you feel. Often people think there is nothing they can do about it, even though we really can choose.
When we are free we are no longer angry for small reasons, because we take responsibility for our feelings and thoughts. We see the bigger picture and realize that we are part of something bigger, not the individual body and only I. We are part of the universe. We are like a drop of water in the ocean. We are one with all others but still only one drop. Then we can operate at the soul level and not at the body and ego level. We are no longer imprisoned by the ego, though every now and then the ego will imprison us, even if we would not want it. However, we can quickly reach the soul level again. When you have awakened you do not want to be captured by the ego anymore. You want to live in the flow of energy and be connect with the universe, to be part of something bigger and to let the energy flow through us. You want to attract like-minded people, by letting the energy radiate out of you. To be present as a soul and to bring good to all humanity.
When you wake up, you will notice how you have changed and you will not want to go back. You have gone through the gate of insight and you are at the soul level. You wonder how you hadn’t noticed that before. Now that you are on the soul level, you wonder why you thought others were giving you feelings or how events made you react in a certain way. Now that you are awakened, you know that you have chosen your feelings and your life. You did things in a certain way and you take responsibility for them.
Wake up – take responsibility – you are part of the universe.
