The most Important thing in your Life--Part 1

This article only emphasizes what you already know deep down—that there's much more to you than you know or what the World has ever told you (or can possibly tell you). You may have felt it in different times of your life, a certain lingering sense somewhere in the background, a distant signal that always got buried by the relentless traffic of our chattering minds, but it's there and always will be.

And the purpose of this article is simply to point you to that truth and encourage you to take an inward journey to discover the true reality of who you are—the very source of joy, abundance and lasting inner peace that's already within you. It's within you right now as you're reading this and it'll be there even at the time of your last breath, it'll be there if you spend your whole life looking for spiritual realization or if you don't bother to even utter the word 'spirituality', and the access point is always open, doesn't matter whichever way you choose to spend your entire life.

And why is that? Doesn't everything in Life come and go? Your fortunes, your reputation, your qualifications, happiness or unhappiness, emotions, thoughts, experiences, all of these things arrive, stay for a while and fade out as if they weren't even there in the first place. You can easily confirm this from your own life experience, right? Everything goes away, just as they came, sooner or later.

So why is it that the source of joy, abundance and peace can never leave you? Simply because it IS you and it's not something that's outside of you. It's already in you in all it's fullness and will continue to be, irrespective of what you do in your Life.

But if that's really the case, then why can't you feel that? If the very source of joy, abundance and peace is ever-present within you, at all times, then how can it be that you don't feel it at all?

The answer is that even though it's already there in you, you are not aware of it and that's why you don't even know what's in you. You've heard about it before or maybe hearing this for the first time now, but the truth is, until you can discover it for yourself and realize that it's there, it won't be true in your experience and will not affect you in any way.

And the purpose of this article is not to give you some answers that you haven't experienced either, but to urge you to explore the vibrant Life that you are in all capacity. To go deeper and look beyond the surface of who you are—the thought processes, the emotions, the voice (s) in your head, the monologues, the labeling—who are you underneath all of that mind activity? Are you simply the things that happen in your life? Or are you the silent awareness, that is aware of everything that unfolds in your life?

The most significant thing that can happen in your whole life is when you know the answer to this. Why? Because that changes everything you know or have known about yourself forever and re-shapes the very way your life unfolds. It changes the very foundation in your life—which is the relationship between you and Life.

Right now, if you're like the majority of the Earth's population, you probably live like this—you have some preconceived ideas about Life and you believe that if you manage to do certain things in life, your whole experience of Life will just get better and better.

But sadly, as you may have found out from your own experience many times, Life doesn't really work that way. Creating expectations and making demands on Life and even managing to meet said expectations (through sheer hard work and determination or whatever way you may choose) will make absolutely no difference at all, in the way Life treats you.

That mechanistic way of living may very well work out in other areas like building a career, creating an enterprise or even in a relationship, but is ultimately futile when it comes to Life itself. And why would that be? Because, irrespective of what you think or believe, there is no such thing as 'Your Life'. Life doesn't belong to you; It's 'You', who belong to Life. Life is not 'yours', Life IS you.

The truth is: You are not a person, you are not even a human. What you are, is Life itself, living in a human body, for a limited time. And when that time will be up, the body will wither and die, but you'll continue to exist. Just as you have existed before you came into the body.Yes, 'You' pre-exist your body.

There is no, and can never be any separation between Life and 'You'. That sense of apparent separateness only exists in your mind. Another way of putting it is—it's just your thoughts about yourself that distance you from the power of Life and it's only your own overactive mind that cuts you off from that power, which is, your own power.

But as said before, you don't really know this until you have experienced this as self-evident reality. And to steer you in that direction, the next part of this article will give you a few helpful pointers.
