Experiencing being human...
Updated: Oct 6
Perhaps it's not about being the New Human.
It is not even about becoming more spiritual, more intelligent, more knowledgeable or more powerful. You are the universe temporarily experiencing being human.
It is about being fully present in this human experience with integrity, humility and authenticity.
It is remembering how to be a kind and gentle human in a world that has taught us to compete, grasp, grab, push and shove our way towards something we believe is better than the next person or the previous experience.
What the ego needs is separation to exist.
The ego has to be able to compare.
It feeds on better than, worse than, smarter than, more deserving than,
more important than...
and it needs 3 things to win, ... hierarchy, conflict & recognition.
For so long humanity has been taught to constantly reach for more.
More possessions. More knowledge. More status. More approval. More love.
As though something essential were missing.
This entire way of existence is based on fear & survival.
The New way of being begins with a shift in perception,
Nothing was ever missing.
Ones true nature is ever present unconditional love.
From this alignment, all struggle falls away.
There is deep peace.
Integrity becomes natural because there is no longer a need to betray oneself to belong.
Humility arises when there's nothing needed to simply be.
Authenticity becomes possible because there is no longer a character to uphold.
And kindness is no longer weakness.
Gentleness does not mean allowing oneself to be pushed around.
Care does not mean carrying another.
Love does not require abandoning oneself.
The New Human can say no without hatred and yes without obligation.
One recognises difference without judgement.
One simply meets another human being without deciding whether they are above us or beneath us, awakened or asleep, good or bad.
We simply meet one another.
This is the bridge between the old and the new.
We do not force anyone to walk across it.
We do not convince, preach or persuade.
We can point to the truth and simply live what we have realised and allow others the dignity of their own experience.
And then something extraordinary happens.
Sensory perception expands.
Life is recognised as wonderfully ordinary & extraordinary.
Doing the dishes.
Making a cup of tea.
Feeling the sunshine.
Dancing in the rain,
Moving with the clouds,
Merging with the starry sky.
Greeting a stranger.
Sharing a smile.
Caring for another human being.
Nothing is separate,
Nothing needs to become sacred.
It already is.
Perhaps this is what consciousness was recognising all along:
Not an escape from being human, but the experience of being completely here.
Without constant reaching.
Without struggle against what is.
Simply present.
Joyous.
Complete.
The extraordinary experiencing being wonderfully, gloriously ordinary.
And perhaps the New Human is ultimately no grand new species at all.
Perhaps it is the remembrance that we are not trapped or in survival.
We do not need to seek, we need to appreciate the beauty.
We can simply be here —
with integrity,
with humility,
with authenticity,
with care and courage.
Simply being a kind expansive being.
The extraordinary experiencing being wonderfully, gloriously ordinary. ❤️☕🦁🌈
Namaste 🙏🏼
