Programmed for Self-Centeredness

We live our lives asleep. Our minds are programmed for self-centeredness. This programming causes us to spend our lives seeking the future for a sense of contentment we can't seem to find. It causes conflict in our relationships and to say that we live in self-centeredness and conflict is not a moral judgment. It's a statement of fact. Look around. The good news is that awakening from this self-centered dream is possible. This awakening reveals a depth of freedom and contentment that no relationship, job, material item, self-improvement plan, or other worldly accomplishment can bring. This level of freedom frees us from our endless seeking towards future. It frees us from conflict so that our real nature as love shines through, into every area of life. We believe we are separate selves.  It's a belief system. That is all. No one told us this in school. Our teachers did not tell us the truth because they didn't know. Our parents didn't know either. So we've inherited this sense of separation. It goes unexamined throughout our whole lives . . . until a desire to know the truth arises.

This is about truly waking up out of the self-centered dream of being a separate person. In that awakening, the wholeness that we've been seeking in the future and in worldly things reveals itself to be ever present. Every experience is accepted and loved as it is. This is about seeing through this belief in separation. In the simple recognition of presence as our true nature, we go from being self-centered to being selfless. That makes all the difference. That seeing is what life is all about. It's why we are here on earth.
