One daunting feature of the trek to Higher Consciousness, is that many times it feels like tumbling uncontrollably down a rabbit hole.

The cosmic reality is that there is no "past" or "future", only an infinite sphere of now that we are moving around in. A crisis of sorts can get created when we start to see our timeline as happening "to us" instead of as a result of us. And this crisis is the Crisis of Separation.

But hold up--it's not that simple, of course. As points of consciousness, we exist in many different realms. There's the realm of the body, the ego and its imagination, the sub-conscious, all the parallel lives past, present and future, and finally, as a single, eternal point of consciousness

We all have that "thrill of defiance", which drives all resistance. Our work is to identify what "thrill" or reward we are getting by resisting love--the very core of our being. What is the agenda at play causing our experience of suffering, unhappiness, insecurity, dis-ease and un-ease in our journey?

I call these times we're living in, "The Great Reveal"--the historically unprecedented access and reporting of the darkest elements of humanity, as well as the amazing and ongoing revelations of limitless human potential.

This sense of awe is really an awareness of the miraculous, and has been scientifically shown to massively affect the brain in a myriad of beneficial ways.

Our habit of fighting our ignorange gets us into trouble when it comes to understanding our universality.

Jake also advised that we can increase our shool where there is pain, by noticing that there is some part of that painful area that feels okay, or even feels good. He said that in order for pain to exist, there has to be its opposite present--and that's shool.

By acknowledging that we, as consciousness, cannot be non-existent, we are faced with the reality of our own immortality. We can then learn to live with death alongside of life, instead at the end of it.

The Eternal is the sum of internal and external. Healing bridges that gap between death and eternal being.
