I am... am I? Shamanic and Sufi thoughts on Be-Ing-Ness

The more we surrender to God (I prefer this term), the less we are allowed to hold onto our superficial layers that have given us a sense of security since our childhood.

We die many deaths before we die.

Yet, my observation is, not all of us experience this process in great depth, and that is also with divine grace. Either there are many obstacles, or other earthbound learnings to be fulfilled, or other reasons unknown, but known to the Creator, who is constantly working on each soul's perfection - even in the really crappy times. Of which we all experience a frequency of.

Can you imagine the pilot flying your plane, or the investment banker in charge of your thousands to invest, or your hair stylist, or the guy driving the bus, all of a sudden to having a crisis of consciousness and flaking out, and hiding under the covers for days on end, like most of those whose DNA is shifting?

It would be chaos and unnecessary. (Unless my unravelling was particularly excruciating due to interference factors - which it was, and also it wasn't).

In Fihi ma fihi (Discourses of the Unseen), Rumi states that God has also put the passion for a particular life journey in that soul, because otherwise society wouldn't function. You need the farmer to want to be one, or a dancer, or an actor, or a corporate speaker to want to be one.

Not every single soul currently in incarnation at this time of Light needs to question who we are in essence. If we do, then that too is our path, and after all the unravelling is done, we may still do the occupation, but with an awareness that puts life into sharp focus and paradox, and blesses all those whom we connect with with a high light and frequency. This can truly be felt.  I have experienced this with a handful of people, and hopefully will meet more like this in my life.

Those who have that are nectar, and the bees, wasps, and even butterflies congregate around that Light. But it is a subtle process, so it is also those who are humble, who have realised the nothingness and temporary nature of existence that comes after "I am..."

If you are one who is unravelling, there comes a point when you accept that most people will not be able to cope with it, it will feel fractured, and you'll be forced to give up the old lives you lead.
If you are still meant to be behind the veils, and to continue your life so that the world functions well, thank you. Allow your fractured, unravelling friend to move on, so they can fulfil their role, which doesn't fit into the standard.

Some of us are meant to be in society, but still on the outskirts. A bridge between the seen and unseen worlds.

The mind can't comprehend, only an open heart and submissive ego will be witness.
