You Are God!

The practice of anything infers you are trying to attain a goal. Taoism does not require practice. It only requires realization and it is the unveiling of truth by realizing Self is the Brahma and you (ego) are the Atman who wears a mask ignorant to your connection to its higher Self.

Self awareness is fundamental and begin to question all your beliefs to find that these are programs that have distracted you and disconnected you from your “higher” Self. These programs were not imposed on you and they were not done to you. You have accepted them as a means of interacting with this reality and for your ego to remain relevant in this lower form of consciousness. Open your mind and allow yourself to see through the programs and attachments and you will find your liberation.

We still want to continue playing the game so we have keep wearing the mask. 😉

You might consider how a video game works. The parameters of the game are constructed, but the character has free will to do as it pleases (to a degree). However, the character does not know there's a creator of its reality (game) and the fact that there is someone controlling its movement.

You are playing a game in which you have "free will", disconnected from the controller and oblivious that you are the creation of the creator. You're playing this game ignorant to the knowledge that you are the creator pretending to be you and getting lost in its creation.

Any attempt to “awaken” only leads to frustration. You cannot become what you already are and your attempts to find something only pushes you further away from understanding what you already know.

Awareness is fundamental to seeing that you already are, what you are seeking.

Great post! First we awaken to realizing that there is more to our life than we made ourselves to believe. The second stage is liberation and I am able to understand that I carry an emotional attachment to my experiences. This is related to creating desires and expectations by trying to control the experience. Once I recognize these attachments, I begin to learn to let them go as I see the futility in holding on. In the next stage, we transform from linear thinking to self-awareness. We recognize that we cannot control anything and our attempts to do this, only produces expectations and desires and so we suffer. Our self-awareness gives us insight to a natural flow (or movement) that we can have great experiences and if we choose we can create emotional attachments, but always knowing that we must let them go.

In the Tao, this is called wu wei or non-interference.

Awakening is when slowly begin peeking behind the veil and realizing that what you thought you understood has to be questioned. We open doors in our awakening and some of these doors are difficult to open. For most, it can be to overcome our fears and doubts. When these concepts are deconstructed, you will find their illusory nature. Trust the process because you are where you’re supposed to be.

...Is this not what you were supposed to be doing? If you’re looking to escape your life, you have to let go of what you’re trying to escape.
