Take your power back from thought. Any belief in a separate, disconnected soul can be left behind.

You can take your power back from thought, and comfortably reside in the present.
 
 
 
Come to the present, the here and now.

Come to the present, the here and now.

Billy Bob was walking down the path, his footprints clearly visible. Out of nowhere, his prosthetic leg caught a root which sent him tumbling. Before landing in the spiny yucca, he realized ‘as long as there was thought, distinction appeared where there was none, and separation where there need not be.’
Suddenly, there was no Billy Bob, hardly a footprint, and a flash of feathers that burst into the sky.

Any belief in a separate, disconnected soul was left behind. He had taken his essence back from thought, and through choice, flew from ego into the peace of the present.
 

Walk on Billy’s path…

 

Consideration

There are those who choose to struggle, they equate it with the discomfort that is sometimes needed (not always) for growth to occur. These people unnecessarily suffer without knowing its real meaning and significance. Yet there is no need. And if you say you do not need to struggle or suffer to such individuals, the immediate reaction is a false choice… “then you must have chose not to play, or to grow” which is not accurate. For if you understand, you can play, and never struggle. Aligned to your pure self without purpose, and/or aligned to your pure-self with the ‘purpose’ you have chose, may seem a struggle to others, when at face, it is nothing but life and joy. Beware of any system or religions that says otherwise.

Even the word ‘fortunate’ is based on an unexamined premise. For if we have either ‘chose’ our fate, or where fate is but ‘freewill in the here and now’ (another way of looking at it through the lens of time) - we are left with neither fortune nor misfortune.
