We must be still and aware, but how do we explain that our ego wants to change our life, and usually in a positive manner?
The root of our suffering is rooted in our attachments and desires. The ego wants to change "its" life and in a positive manner so the ego can get all the benefits. Its desires to change its life are purely selfish and unconscious. It is a program that simply wants to gain however much power and control it can get. It will always want to change the life and it will always want to do something more. All this time that you are ambitious, passionate and motivated by the ego to change your life, you will never feel truly satisfied, content, happy, peaceful, joyful and loving in the present moment.
To want to change your life means the present moment is not good enough. To want to make it different is literally what the society wants you to do. It wants you to always want some kind of "ideal" life that you see in movies or in youtube or other places that distract you from the truth.
Buddha did not want to change his life, jesus christ did not want to change his life. To be enlightened you must stop wanting to change your life and just be present in the life that is.
The ego believes it has control and that it can change its life, but truly it doesn't have any control at all. There is no control in this life. We only believe we are doing something while in fact we don't even exist as separate entities, it is just life doing life and we are observing that.
I understand that the ego's desire to change your life seems positive and good but it is only taking you further away from your self, from enlightenment.
The ego has a desire to change your life and it will always have that desire, the ego is a thing that changes, so it will always be wanting that change. But you are not changing. You are the unchanging witness, the awareness that is always here in the present moment, observing all the changeful. You want to be in that unchanging place, and not follow around the ego. Life will appear to be changing either way in the dynamic world, and the more you are aware and live in the unchanging place of the awareness/heart the more beautiful life will become. So do not aim to change your life, aim to be present in life so you can have clarity and share your peace, joy, love and compassion with others.
The ego wants to change its life meaning have a meaningful career, have money, have relationships, attain achievements, be someone in this world, leave a mark.
Changing your life means that you do not accept your self and life right now. You have been trying to change your life in a positive manner your whole life, and you keep suffering and shit keeps happening and you still have that longing in your heart to be one, to accept life and your self because you are life itself.
The ego wants to change life, while you are life itself. Just fall back, observe and love everything there is, because you are everything there is. Everything is consciousness, everything is life, and you are it! There is literally no separation between you and the universe. If you simply stay as you are, stay as awareness instead of falling to the bait of the ego and its fantasies that might not even happen, you will realize you do not even want things to change. You do not want anything. You are merely observing the film that is this life.
This does not mean that you are now passive and nothing is happening. It merely means that you are not attached to what is happening, you are aware that there is no control in this life and you live in freedom. You do not expect anything from life because you just live in the present moment and accept everything that happens with a big warm embrace, everywhere you are you are surrounded by love, joy, peace and compassion, it is just that the ego already put some labels on the world and decided "thats not true". The universe itself is a universe of love, peace, joy and compassion. You are the universe and you ARE love, peace, joy and compassion.
I do not want to just call you names of course and put labels on what you are, because truly you are beyond labels, words and names. You are indescribable. You are infinite. Once the infinite is aware that it is infinite, everything starts happening.
When literally God is in the picture, everything starts moving and in the truly right direction, not the direction the ego believes is right and good.
When you want to change your life - it is ego, it is selfish.
When you are aware of being infinite; life automatically changes, it is for the good of all, it is conscious and it is beautiful, harmonious, elegant, gentle, kind, compassionate, loving, peaceful and joyful.
We must first become aware, doubt the ego so much that it stops being in control.
The ego wants to change things while it has no clarity. How do you know that what it wants to constantly change is what is good for you and for everyone? First you MUST have clarity, and you can't have clarity while identifying with the ego and believing and coworking with the ego. You must know who you are, and that automatically gives you clarity. The intuition is always present, that intuition is you, you literally just need to tap into the present moment, and everything will seem infinite and limitless. When you are intuitive, then you know what to do, but you do not want to do it, you just do it. There is no one in the mind saying "I want to do this" it just gets done. There is no reason to waste energy on a personal "me" and "desires". If there is an urge to create something, it will be done intuitively, no matter how big of a project or how complicated of a gesture. It will all be done, step by step in the present moment without even thinking and making big effort. It will literally be unfolding in front of you while you simply reside in your heart.
