You evolved to be awake. Fully awake. Enlightenment is your birthright.
It’s your nature. That’s why we call it the true self.
I want to retell the story of you and how you fit into deep time and everything that exists. The story of separation, the story we’ve been told, has caused us to become fixated on our fear brain.
Let's change that.
First of
all, evolution doesn’t decide stuff. Evolution isn't a grand designer that comes up with a plan like, “Man, it would be really nice to have a monkey with a big brain,” and starts evolving us. That’s not the way it happens.
It’s also not completely random and accidental. Because everything works together. We live in a flow of happening.
Human beings did not evolved in a vacuum. We evolved inside a fully alive, conscious earth that operates on intuition. Like
how trees know to put their roots deep down into the earth and find water.
Our deep, deep ancestors knew how to find food, find joy, create community, live ripe, meaningful lives. Because that's the nature of everything.
The way evolution works is that things become possible because they fit together.
Back in the far away jungle we were living in the trees and the trees needed us. We were little monkeys running around, eating bugs to
keep the trees clean, moving fruit around everywhere so the trees could bloom and grow and thrive, chattering away so that there was monkey music everywhere. It was all needed.
Then the environment changed, and vast savannas grew. The savannas needed us so we started coming out of the trees. In order to do that, we formed more solid communities where we took care of each other.
We developed an intricate culture of care. We cared for each other, we cared for
the earth and the environment, and we thrived so much that we literally walked around the entire planet.
For thousands and thousands and thousands of years, we were living, ripe, and aware in our environment.
Everything we call history, written history, is really the history of insanity. It’s the history of us not belonging. Proof? Wars, and wars, and wars!
It's time to stop thinking that the story of war is
us.
There's a deeper time history that brings us back to reality. The history of you and me evolving to be this fabulous creature of awareness and togetherness and relation that we are. This is both what we need to get back to, and what we want to get back to.
Realizing who you are reveals how you fit in with everything.
Step into the full, ripe being of yourself. So that the silent part of your mind is the dominant
wisdom of you.
So that you’re just one thing. A single, unified, self living in a single, unified world where everything is one and you totally belong.
You evolved to be awake.
