There seems to be two ways to live out this earth life - "second act":

    1. We can be dependent on food, others, systems, addictions, sex, governments, our fears, our enemies, stimulants, alcohol, tobacco or other substances, establishing dependencies we choose and incapacities we inherit, living out of anger and a sense that the world owes us a living.

- In this place our brain mimics and teaches the strategies of survival. In it, we become dysfunctional thinking storm troopers. In this reptilian worldly part of our brain we follow the hoards of non-thinkers and sheep. Demanding compliance without thought or growth. Societal beliefs in this stage are nothing but fire insurance, fear based compliance. We say and do, based on what will fix us momentarily. In this space we are fear-based, shame based, and passive, which leads to passive-dependencies or passive-aggressiveness, co-dependence, or a, "you fix it for me", survival strategy. This creates no inner life, and/or no ownership for how we are feeling, but in this space we are continuously reactive about being put down or found out, or being left out or abandoned.

    2. OR! ... or we see that we can learn to live in surroundings, which we can maintain by our own labor, capacity, skills, ingenuity, work ethic and cleverness. Allowing us to provide through our own ability to maintain a life dependent only upon God but not man. To live peaceably in connection and contact with others however, not dependent on how or what they think, or how they react or don’t react to our deepest self (core-self, 1000 year self).

This new found functional living allows for individuality without rebellion, without collapse under judgments and criticism. A life of not having to be right or compelling others to think or believe as we do. To not exercise control or dominion or compulsion or force or undo persuasion over others through shame, guilt or duress. But by gentleness, kindness, pure knowledge, meekness, and long-suffering.

In this place the veil begins to part and we become projected into a bigger, more all-inclusive worldwide view. When this started happening to me, I found myself exclaiming; "I’ll never again be the same". It is a kin to falling in love. To be led into a new paradigm, a new place of being. Remember the excitement?!... like your brain just exploded. This is a process of hormones, new contemplation's, new connections and neurons all coming together in a new fashion.

When this happens the emptiness of the lower levels of functioning we just exited from are now revealed to us in stark contrast. It is a process of going into interface with the divine. They that love so much and so much more completely are now teaching us, leading us to new horizons of being and thought. It is where and when we allow our Core-self, which has lived for thousands of years in a sprit state, to teach us and make contact with us again. This awakening to our real self, core-self has amazing power to overcome the bitterness and pain of our past loves lost, as if to erase it all and not to just cover it over. This process can free us from past abuses, failures and losses. Then the things of eternity are in line to flow to us without compulsory means but freely, with great purpose and wonderful outcomes.
