Life is a series of mazes that can lead us into the never-ending loop of the mind or slowly sashay us out of duality. One needs to understand duality to completely realize oneness. If we think of ourselves as separate, unattached, and praying to a God that will shower us with gifts when we are good, we can never understand the maze we have entered in birth. On the other hand, if we are connected to God and see our process of life as a phenomenal experience, we are on the road to being one with creation. The catch is always the same: our minds. Our minds want to reason, rationalize and label. Yet, the Divine is flow of energy, like water, that does not think about where it will flow next; it simply does.
So here you are on the river of life, flowing through the maze of experience and trying to balance it with our long-taught concepts of good and bad. But, does water judge the flow of a stream or does it just flow on, knowing that one day it will reach the ocean, no matter what path taken? The trap is to analyze too much, especially when life is unjust. After all, our minds will say, “They were wrong. Why did they do or say that?” This is the trap that keeps us in the maze.
How we release ourselves from the trap in the maze is again a process of flowing consciousness. Feel the flow of energy inside of you and follow it. All of life’s experiences are a result of a need to know. Positive or negative does not matter. This is the vehicle we use to break up congestion in the flow of life. It does not matter. Our minds create a jam in the flow of consciousness and we feel badly. This process creates duality inside of ourselves. Instead, fill your heart with light as your mind “goes off” and allow that light to slowly dissolve the duality this obstacle has created within you. Visualize yourself flowing and accepting all the goodies your consciousness collects along the way with equal passion. Allow the flow of your consciousness, and not your mind, to dissolve the jam and flow through the maze as one, in peace. Set yourself free from the maze trap and your mind will thank you.
