Missing the meaning of life, to be happy, has something to do with the disguises we wear. These disguises are provided to us by our egos. The ego is afraid of many things. One of the important items it fears is that people will not like you unless you present yourself as something more, or other than, you really are. So the ego makes up false identities, disguises.
The body encased ego is governed by its own likes and dislikes. It dislikes being seen as something less than it wants by other people. So it prepares costumes for you to wear. It thinks that you are imperfect the way you are. Therefore, it must constantly reinvent you in the way it thinks the world will like. Like an actor who keeps all his old costumes because he just “knows” he’ll be called upon to play that role again.
But this costume changing keeps you on edge. What shall I wear next? What is the appropriate ensemble for the people I want to impress today? I must avoid the appearance of imperfection at all costs. What if they don’t like me?
Now, don’t get me wrong. We all want to be liked. But when we go out of our way to please others, we are missing the meaning of life within – to be happy. To be happy with oneself.
When you accept and know that your soul, the real you, is of the Divine Nature, you can become calm and relaxed. Your soul, your true self is an individual reflection of Divine Spirit. Therefore, your soul, the real you, is unassailably perfect. What? You ask, “I am perfect?”
“Yes,” I answer, “you are perfect in the core of you, the soul.” This body of ours will mess up. This ego we all carry around will cause us no end of trouble. But the real you, you at the soul-level, is forever and indestructibly perfect.
When you realize this and practice it, day and night, a calmness that passes all understanding comes over you. You still want to dress well, for example. But you no longer worry what others will think. You will say what you feel, for another example, in the most appropriate way, when you perceive it is right and good.
And the whole of human experience is accepted with composure and equanimity, without forming likes and dislikes as the ego would have them.
The appearance of imperfection will fall away from. For you will sense in your soul, that you are as God created you. Perfect. Yes, we all have
Get Them White So They Will Like Me
troubles and we get into trouble. But who we really are, inside, in the Spirit, is undisturbedly perfect.
What can you do with a perfect soul? You can feel better about yourself. You can feel at ease within your own skin. You can know that nothing can ever again agitate you out of who you really are. In short, you will have found, again, the meaning of life, to be happy.
