This is a message from my friend, Patrick Amoroso, a man I grew up with since age 11.
I don't know what to think of it?
Any ideas?
Part One
An Existential Question Before Humanity
“There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” Carl Gustav Jung, Eminent Psychotherapist and Spiritual Adept of the early 20th Century
Who am I? When one ponders that question pertaining to their individual being or self, he or she might be prone to answer such a probe by mentioning parents, family, nationality or place of origin, religion, educational level and profession. All of these assertions are identification attributes but in essence do not answer the question posed. Each are affiliations or achievements. So, again who are we ? Modern day societal memes overemphasize the importance of the self to the detriment of a more complete and holistic characterization of the wonder of being human. It as an ego- bound world which we find ourselves acclimated to and thus by its preponderance of messaging from our early years and onward into adulthood, such an overriding and implanted social meme induces a composite alienation, both individually at the personal level and collectively at the societal level.
If I were to answer that same aforementioned question by stating that I am a spiritual expression of the divine, a soul-centered manifestation of a higher consciousness whereby my life can be summed up by stating that I am first and foremost a spiritual being who happens to have incarnated into human form and as a consequence “ I am a spiritual being having a human experience. How does that affirmation change one's individual perspective ? Ego level attainment is no longer relative whereas the primacy of the SOUL emerges as our true identity. This sublime and transcendental understanding of ourselves is where we must go and are going despite our own steadfastness to be coerced by the shackles of an ego bound
consciousness.
Our individual destiny is to return to source and ego does not play here. Some refer to this sublime force as god, creator while others recognize the divine godhead as an energetic and transcendent force of manifest love and compassion for all. “ All that Is“ can not be made anthropomorphic, a semblance of human form who calls for a reconciliation of humanity to its agenda. The agenda is ours, one which recognizes our common heritage as spirit beings in a human form and challenges each of us to be aware of our intuitive and soul-centered consciousness. and to act in accordance with the creative and sublime force throughout the universe. Know that and WE are almost home. So , Let's go home.
While living in stable, seemingly secure, and everyday non- threatening societal conditions, most humans blindly follow their fear-based patterns that very effectively align with the ego-mind and cause them to separate from the soul and the divine source. The individual human displays a marked propensity to conform and often fails to modify behaviors which in essence work to alienate oneself from their soul-centered intuition and Higher Self. When confronted by an existential danger, human fears oftentimes reach a critical level of distortion and only then then does the human Ego-mind realize in its desperation the leading role of the SOUL that floods the hostage personality with source energies of divine relief.
