How to Experience A Richer, Deeper,
and Fuller Life
Saleem Rana
When we choose to move
beyond the boundaries of the ego, we choose to step into a different
world. We find ourselves above the matrix of conceived causality, alive
on a unique plane of experience. Here, much to our amazement, everything
happens by itself. Grace, or effortless effort, now define our actions.
Our egoic self is characterized by its neediness. Need arises as an urge
to survive. It is, in fact, a pro-survival urge that emanates from the
ego. The ego thrives on its own insecurities, finding substance through
elaborating its own shadows.
Stepping beyond the ego is an act of recognition. What we are
recognizing is that we are more than a person.
What, however, can be transcendent to our personhood? After all, this
part of us appears to be all of us.
Life is what is transcendent to personhood, particularity, and
isolation.
When we recognize that we are life, an embodiment of the life-force, a
marvelous and eloquent expression of consciousness itself, then we
transcend the ego. We discover ourselves to be more than our narrow view
of ourselves. We find ourselves to be a numinous consciousness that uses
a mind, animates a body, and assumes a socialized identity.
When we thus change our conditioned view of ourselves, stepping beyond
our identification with our own limitedness and stepping away from our
plethora of difficulties, we see that we are the force of life itself
seeking greater expansion through experiences.
This elusive concept, once grasped, creates a critical shift in our
awareness.
When we acknowledge that we are more than a person, and that we are life
in motion, we alter our goals to serve the greater life all around us.
The instant becomes for us much more important than ruminating over our
lived experience.
When we, as a life-force, as a unit of consciousness, seek to serve
life-in-general, we need no longer concern ourselves with issues of
survival or unfulfilled wants.
You see, our outflow of service toward all of life creates a reciprocal
wave that takes care of our every need.
Those who have mastered this subtle self-transcendence will find
themselves living in a whole new universe while still habituating the
old, familiar one. Everything will be new and different. Serendipity and
synchronicity will happen all the time and quantum leaps in personal
evolution will be a matter of course.
