I was having my coffee al fresco this morning, in my car. \u00a0My coffee buddy was sitting in his car, his windows rolled down, so we could have our chat. \u00a0he said something mid-conversation that peaked my interest. \u00a0When I mentioned how people were waiting for the second coming. \u00a0He responded,\u00a0\u201cIf the Messiah came, religion would be over.\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n

That was one of those aha moments for me. \u00a0It made sense then, that people would perpetuate that scenario as long as possible. \u00a0Because it keeps the game going.<\/p>\n

The waiting game.<\/p>\n

As long as there is the journey, \u00a0and the searching, the game is on. \u00a0And there\u2019s something delicious about playing that game. And, there\u2019s nothing wrong with any of that. \u00a0It really did help us to understand ourselves. \u00a0To get to know ourSelves. \u00a0We needed to play hide and seek with our own Divinity for awhile to discover we are already divine.<\/p>\n

The waiting game takes many forms. \u00a0We could be waiting to feel better, look better, have more money, less fear, for the perfect conditions, for others to awaken on the planet so we can feel more comfortable.<\/p>\n

For something or someone else to save us.<\/p>\n

But once we realize we are it, that we are who we have been waiting for, we are the one who chooses and we are the one who has the ability to create with energies from within ourselves, the game is over.<\/p>\n

THEN WHAT?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Could the game of\u00a0\u2018not quite being there yet\u2019<\/em>\u00a0be so seductive that we want to keep it going as long as possible? \u00a0Not quite allowing in the joy, not quite allowing ourselves to enjoy life on such an intimate and sensual level\u2026\u2026it has its perks.<\/p>\n

Staying in the mental realms is safe. \u00a0At least to the mind. \u00a0We could pretend we still need some fine-tuning, more releasing, more fixing before we are ready to receive our birthright. \u00a0Our own Mastery.<\/p>\n

But we notice that it never ends. \u00a0There is always something else that needs to be released. \u00a0Which, there may be. \u00a0And whatever it is may be getting in the way of our realization. \u00a0But could there be a part of us that knows it\u2019s easy to release, but just doesn\u2019t want to, at least not just yet.<\/p>\n

Could there be a part of us that just doesn\u2019t want the game to be over. \u00a0The journeying. \u00a0The seeking. The male energy of exploring and navigating is kind of fun. \u00a0And what happens if we let that go totally? \u00a0It\u2019s kind of scary.<\/p>\n

ERGO, I GO<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ego has been given a bad rap. \u00a0It\u2019s not only been glorified, but it\u2019s been blamed for all the problems in the world and within ourselves. \u00a0But as we awaken we realize that we have been giving our ego, our human personality the daunting responsibility of being the Master. \u00a0Of being the sole creator.<\/p>\n

One reason for so much mental illness is because the mind has been allowed to become the sole creator, without the benefit of the heart and soul. \u00a0Consequently, the mind goes kind of crazy. \u00a0It doesn\u2019t have the capacity to carry that impossible a mission on its shoulders.<\/p>\n

The mind tries to solve problems with its limited perspective. It does a magnificent job if it\u2019s a technical, or a mechanical problem. \u00a0It\u2019s become expert at navigating this time and space environment. After all, it set out to do so when we left our non-physical home and came to earth for the first time.<\/p>\n

But over time the ego lost touch with the heart and soul, and then things go a bit wonky. \u00a0Really out of balance.<\/p>\n

The aspects of receiving, allowing, intuition, and sensuality became relegated to the basement.<\/p>\n

All that has changed in the past few decades. \u00a0And many of us know it. \u00a0We know that we are approaching our sovereignty, our freedom. \u00a0We are closer than ever to it. \u00a0We can taste it. And, it\u2019s exciting. \u00a0It\u2019s also frightening to our mind.<\/p>\n

If the game of searching and waiting is over, what happens to it, to the mind, to the human personality?<\/p>\n

Intellectually we understand that the mind integrates with our soul. \u00a0That it\u2019s a win-win. \u00a0That the mind and the body get to be taken care of.<\/p>\n

But still, on a practical level, the human personality is not wanting to totally let go of the game. \u00a0Yet, ironically, the game is already over. \u00a0The mind just doesn\u2019t want to admit it to itself.<\/p>\n

The mind\u2019s identity has been all about doing, trying, achieving, struggling, searching, manipulating energies. \u00a0It takes great pride in it. \u00a0So it will feel somewhat lost when it realizes it\u2019s no longer needed in quite the same capacity anymore.<\/p>\n

But any good Boss knows that there is wisdom in delegating. \u00a0Allowing others who are expert in their own field to take control of things that they know more about than he does.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s a willingness to let go of the game itself that is required of us. \u00a0Or, the realization that, for us moving into our freedom, it\u2019s already\u00a0game over.<\/em><\/p>\n
