What's the big rush?

[Kristopher]

~

Awakening to your true nature is like dying; it's a certainty, inevitable. You're going to get there no matter what you do, so why rush? Enjoy your life, it's free.

Cosmic Consciousness and Altered States and Universal Mind are the names of rides in this vast and fascinating dualistic amusement park. So are Poverty and Disease and Despair.

Enlightenment, though, is not another ride. Enlightenment means leaving the park altogether, but why leave the park? In the park you can be a saint or a yogi or a billionaire or a world leader or a warlord. Be good, be evil. Happiness, misery, bliss, agony, victory, defeat, it's all here.

What's the big rush? When the time comes to leave the park, you'll know and you'll go, but there's certainly nothing to be gained by it.

There are no guaranties. Take action in each moment to move in the direction that inspires.

[Mornings Sun]

Enlightenment is not leaving the amusement park.
It is being in the park, yet beyond that and death and self.

To awaken to you true nature is very like dying
What is it that dies?
Body and Mind is let go of completely
No self conscious awareness left what so ever
