Awareness is a living flame that burns within you. It burns away ego, greed, obsession, desire, expectation and limitation… and when all is gone, what remains? Only the light of pure potential.
Those who are not yet awakening often carry a deeply debilitating fear of loss. They cling to things, people and ideas that hold them back from experiencing freedom. They are afraid to take risks and can get lost in inaction. Only through recognizing and releasing ego-driven attachment can one allow wholeness and passion to shine through.
Imagine an exquisite work of art left forgotten in a dark corner. Over the years dust has built up, things have been piled around it and people pass it by without knowing its true value. And one day, in comes someone who knows what to look for. She can see through the muck and is excited to gently clear away the build-up. Slowly, the piece is returned to its natural glory. It is lit and lovingly displayed for all to enjoy and perhaps inspires others to see the potential for beauty around them.
You are the work of art. Your awareness is the art lover. Your spirit is the witness.
