Spirituality does not mean being without ego

There was once a time when spiritual development was about escaping from illusion. The Buddhists wanted to escape from the wheel of samsara to Nirvana. The Cathars and Gnostics wanted to escape from the counterfeit creation to the Pleroma. The non-dualists of the Advaita Vedanta wanted to escape from dualism to unity. They wanted to get out of here. Out of the matrix prison that imprisoned the Buddha Nature, the Divine spark, or the I AM. Out of illusion, into Paradise. But we live in a very different time these days. The vibration on Earth is many times higher than it was a thousand years ago. Spirituality is no longer about fleeing from the third dimensional matrix of fear, into the fifth dimensional matrix of love and light. Spirituality at this time is about bringing the fifth dimension of light into the third dimension of fear….

We have to do it here. In the body. The ascension is no longer that of the individual… But those of all mankind and Mother Earth… We are all on our own journey in this ascent process. No one is enlightened. No one has been fully realized… Otherwise you wouldn’t be here.

The human ego is on a journey. Of identification with body and personality. To identification to Higher Self and Soul. And eventually, even identification with the Source… But ego remains ego. It is an illusion to think that ego can be transcended in this incarnation.
Or that it should… Ego is as it were a means of transportation with which the soul travels through this time/space dimension. It’s about reprogramming your ego. From fear to love… From separateness to unity… From taking to giving… Imagine if all people on Earth reconditioned their ego from fear to love…. From LEGO (lower ego) to HEGO (higher ego)

What would the world be like then?
Would there be any more suffering?
Would there still be child abuse?
Would there still be refugee camps?
Would there still be a war? Would there still be a bio-industry?
Would there still be deforestation and environmental pollution?
Would there still be oppression? Of course not.

People who live in a consciousness of wisdom, love and compassion cannot abuse or oppress others. That is bringing the 5th dimension into the 3rd dimension. That is what spirituality is all about these days. We’re not people trying to be spiritual. We are spiritual beings of light who are allowed to discover what it is like to be human.

Real man.
Loving person.
With a touch of darkness.
And a lick of compassion.
With a touch of ignorance.
And a pinch of lego.

People living together in harmony and love.

With himself.
With each other.
And with Earth.

That’s spirituality.
