Collective delusion

If something serves mankind, then it is waking up from the dream, so that you come home in your-Self, your heart. That serves the world. Wars at small level (relationships) and collective level (wars in the world) arise from distorted perception, colored glasses, so that we don’t see reality for what it really is.

The glasses are colored by emotions and thoughts such as guilt, shame, hatred, condemnation and fear: fear of shortage, fear of refugees, fear of poverty, fear of not belonging, fear of loneliness, fear of life itself, fear of the unknown, fear of death, fear of intimacy, fear of making mistakes. And so on ... and this is our image..., a very painful image, with which we look at ourselves, at the other and the world. A perspective that has it's origination from identification with thoughts and emotions.
For centuries it has been our belief that we are our thoughts and emotions. We don’t know better. We firmly believe in our (often painful) thoughts and emotions, in the stories we create based on those thoughts and emotions: I'm not good enough, I have to do my best, I don’t belong, I'm not interesting, boring, who wants to be friends with me, I am too fat, stupid, etc.
And in the meantime we have forgotten who we really are.

We are not the story, we are not our thoughts and emotions, we are the Light (consciousness) in which the story (our thoughts and emotions) appears. Compare it with the sun (consciousness) and the clouds (emotions and thoughts). You are the sun and the clouds represent emotions and thoughts where the sun shines its light upon. Those clouds come and go as thoughts and emotions come and go, but the sun is eternal, consciousness is eternal and that is what you are.

It is not about denying our emotions and thoughts, they exist, they are neither wrong nor good. It is about identification with our thoughts and emotions, we believe that we are our thoughts and emotions with the result that man is at war with himself. Come home in the sun, let the Light shine (consciousness) so that you no longer identify with the stories/images that the mind wants you to believe. When the shift takes place, when you come home in the sun (the heart), when you no longer go along with the beliefs that the mind is mirroring to you, then your life changes from a painful perspective to love, wisdom and clarity. That is who you are in essence.
