How to Be Free of Ego and Experience Bliss

Posted on Sep 10th, 2009 by Kip Mazuy

"The ego exists
out of the experience that life
is not the way it is supposed to be.  

It lives in a perpetual state of control
in an attempt to make life the way
it thinks it should to be.  

It's very nature is stress.  

Awareness is the means
to be free of the ego.  

Because in awareness
you are watching this moment.  

And in order to watch this moment,
you have to allow it to be as it is.  

You have to accept that everything is as it is.  

You let go of control,
then you can watch.  

And then what you are watching
no longer defines you.  

You realize you are the watching.    

Meditation is a constant test
of faith and surrender.  

Faith that everything will be okay
if you stop trying to control this moment.  

Surrender because yes,
it is quite possible the world you know
may fall out from beneath your feet.  

Suddenly the illusion
of trying to turn this moment
into something else ceases
and you are simply left with this moment.  

Once you let go of 
that constant urge to move forward
there is only awareness.

That is where true beauty shines.  

Not in the objects of your obsession
but the awareness that gives life to all objects.  

It is the awareness that is bliss.  

And if you are aware,
then you are bliss.    

Blessings,    


Kip"
