ILLUSION

The ego gives birth to the illusion of the self. As you lose your ability to reason due to the ego, the whole body is in a space of agitation. This takes you from the path and brings you into the mind instead of the heart. Your whole being turns to selfish desires that you do not truly want. The more you live in the space of the ego, the more you become attached to everything that you do not need in your life.

Do not be afraid of illusion. Learn to tell the difference between reality and illusion by listening to your heart. Your mind can only give you illusion; you heart will bring you truth. The world consists of layers of illusion; only the full heart can cut into those layers. Always let your heart expand by being kind to everyone; accept all ways and all religions. How strong we all become when our God is so big as to accept all ways!

When you are entwined in illusion, you have to work your way through the various levels and degrees of ignorance. When you are open to truth, you become truth. The light of truth fills you with bliss. Every truth is linked to every other truth. The heart receives reality while the mind receives illusion. Seek to harmonize and balance your life. The fog of illusion can be lifted by deep meditation; you are able to dissolve the chaos of the unconscious. Witness the functions of your mind and become very detached. By doing this, you will be able to separate yourself from your thoughts. The heart is able to control the mind and the ego begins to melt away. Go beyond illusion and feel love.

In a split moment of love, you find the strength to become anything you want to be; you are perfect. To attain your dream of liberation, you must know that you are already liberated and only have to remove the clouds of illusion away from the core of love that you are. Become firmly rooted on the path of devotion and love. Whatever your religion, God enables you to achieve the knowledge of liberation through your worship. Sometimes you can actually feel illusion begin to melt away as you feel the divine vibrations of the self. Recognize your illusions as you meditate deeper and longer each day. Never nourish the ego or illusion. Everyone deserves to find happiness and joy. Do not let your mind trap you by the illusion of time and space; be in this moment. You can have inner peace; the key is to be wide open to everyone.
