"Egoless creation" - How can you create a happy, abundant and uplifting life in harmony with the Divine?
Our home the Planet Earth is a wonderful place full or joy, beauty and really infinite possibilites. However, maybe our inner world is even more amazing. Unfortunately our ego could function as a malformed reflection of our true divine nature. In fact we are all truly amazing, powerful and eternal souls. We just don’t know or rather don’t feel that reality. Our ego and mind work like filters of the soul, they prevent that we can experience the full spectrum of our light. Abundance, love, beauty, happiness, creativity, miracles, understandings – the presence of these elements is so natural if we live according to our pure soul. But if we have an unclean mind we can try many things, the results of our efforts won’t be fully satisfying. So we should transform the filters to a transparent glass and thus our inner light will shine through all the layers and this can modify easily all the elements of our reality. We will be Divine Creators simply with our existence and we can feel how it is to live in our own Paradise.
