'DO YOU BELIEVE THERE IS SOMEPLACE THAT WILL MAKE THE SOUL LESS THIRSTY?'

An addictive need, not an Authentic One ~

Having - the concept of ownership - is a fiction created by the ego to give itself solidity and permanency and make itself stand out, make itself special.  Since you cannot find yourself through having, however, there is another more powerful drive underneath it that pertains to the structure of the ego:  the need for more, which we could also call "wanting".  Some egos know what they want and pursue their aim with grim and ruthless determination.  The energy behind their wanting, however, creates an opposing energy of equal intensity that in the end leads to their downfall.  In the meantime, they make themselves and many others unhappy, or, in the larger than life examples, create hell on earth:





... A significant portion of the earth's population will soon recognize, if they haven't already done so, that humanity is now faced with a stark choice:  Evolve or die.  A still relatively small but rapidly growing percentage of humanity is already experiencing in themselves the breakup of old egoic mind patterns and the emergence of a new dimension of consciousness;

If the structures of the human mind remain unchanged, we will always end up re-creating fundamentally the same world, the same evils, the same dysfunction.


. Eckhart Tolle, A NEW EARTH Awakening to Your Life's Purpose



WHEN UNITY WAS ATTAINED OF OLD
HEAVEN BECAME CLEAR BY ATTAINING UNITY
EARTH BECAME STEADY BY ATTAINING UNITY
SPIRIT WAS QUICKENED BY ATTAINING UNITY
VALLEY STREAMS WERE FILLED BY ATTAINING UNITY
ALL BEINGS WERE BORN BY ATTAINING UNITY
AND BY ATTAINING UNITY LORDS ACTED RIGHTLY
FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD

. Tao Te Ching
