The majority of human beings are still drowning in the noise of the world. We are all surrounded by ripples of energy, both within us and outside of us, and these ripples are like a background buzzing sound that is very distracting. If we go for a walk in nature, this background noise will subside for a while, but in unawakened individuals, this noise never goes away completely.
In normal day to day life, we are all being constantly bombarded by our own thoughts, and these thoughts are linked to our endless egoic desires and concomitant disappointments. Some of our thought forms are vivid, others are more vague. But if we are not careful, we can become totally trapped by our egoic thoughts and feelings. Some individuals can totally drown in extreme grief or depression.
When we drown in our dark thoughts, fear inevitably sets into our individual consciousness and then we are trapped in our own subjective nightmare. The only way out is to raise our consciousness so that we become more aware and begin to see a bigger picture.
The normal human mind is turbulent- like a stormy sea. Please watch your own thoughts and feelings for a while to verify this fact for yourself. Each and everyone one of us has a default programme in our mind that includes our animal instincts, our innate fear of loss and dying, and our fear of not being in control of our lives. We can all notice that we cannot control our own future, and this frightens and depresses us, whether we consciously admit this to ourselves or not.
Genuine spiritual practitioners have to cut through all of their underlying fear and darkness layer after layer, until there is no inner darkness left. You will need a lot of chi abundance to rise above all fears and insecurities that lie deep within your own mind. But please understand that you are pure awareness. You are not all the stories that your thinking mind tells you about yourself. You are not your profession. You are not the roles that you play in your family. You are not the victim of a dangerous or wicked world. You are an eternal soul dreaming a very temporary dream in which you play out various egoic roles for a short while.
As an advancing practitioner, you have to rise above all of these stories about yourself and your life, so that you can momentarily, experience some real inner peace and joy, and in order to lift up your consciousness, you need to keep raising your energetic vibrations. A lot of so called spiritual people read spiritual texts, and may even meditate on a regular basis, but they are not energetically vibrant and their aura is not filled with radiant peace.
Even very good people are still subjected to emotional turbulence that is like an underlying current, and it is so hard to get out of this turbulence, unless we know how to raise ourselves up to a higher energetic existence. Without connecting to this higher energy, you simply cannot escape the egoic thought system, and so you stay trapped in a very fearful and ultimately destructive egoic mindset with no way out. Even wealthy, retired individuals strolling through the countryside are not totally peaceful. Their minds can be very active, even when walking in soothing, natural surroundings.
Most human beings are tense all of the time, even when they are not facing any major problems in their lives, and many people are anxious and stressed day in and day out. So we urgently need to learn how we can rise up to a much more powerful vibrational level.
