The State of Being
When you find yourself in anger, conflict, comparison, or judgment, you are disconnected from your true self. These emotions anchor you in separation, pulling you away from the state of pure being-ness—a state that is your natural alignment and comes effortlessly through grace.
The Power of Selflessness
Selflessness is the doorway to this state of being. When you give selflessly, without expectation or attachment, you transcend the need for external validation or fulfillment. In this state, you no longer rely on anything outside of yourself to feel whole. You become free—liberated from the cycle of suffering.
Selflessness isn’t about sacrifice or losing oneself. It’s about embodying a profound inner abundance that radiates outward. In this space, you realize that all your needs are already met, and your satisfaction flows from within.
The Path to Enlightenment
This level of enlightenment is not a distant, unattainable goal. It is a natural unfolding, as certain and inevitable as the passing of time. Each experience, each moment of awareness, expands your consciousness and allows you to hold more light.
Patience and kindness toward yourself are essential. Just as the years of your life have passed steadily, so too will your growth. This path is not about rushing or forcing—it’s about trusting the process and allowing yourself to evolve.
Grace in Practice
To enter this state of being:
- Observe your feelings. When anger, judgment, or comparison arise, recognize them as indicators of disconnection.
- Release attachment. Let go of the need for external circumstances to dictate your satisfaction.
- Give selflessly. Practice acts of generosity and kindness without expectation, and notice the peace it brings.
- Be patient. Understand that enlightenment unfolds naturally, one step at a time.
The state of being-ness is your birthright. It exists within you now and is accessible as you surrender to grace and embrace selfless giving. Trust in the journey, and know that the light within you is growing brighter with every moment.
