What to Know and Do Before Living as the Divine Self Expanded to the Size of the Universe

★To Distance Yourself from Karma, Know the Reality of the Desire for Self-Display

The “karma” that nests in the human heart gets along exceptionally well with people who have a strong desire to show themselves off.

So if you aim for the evolution of consciousness, you must think about how to thin out karma from within your heart.

Now, we just said that people with a strong desire for self-display are close friends with karma, but you also need to know very well what this desire for self-display is.

Everyone may say, “I know that already,” but from our point of view, many people haven’t really grasped it.

What does that mean? It means that “a strong desire for self-display” doesn’t refer only to an off-putting strong ego or to show-offs who try to get ahead even by pushing others aside.

Brooding passion and grim endurance, a shy, bashful, withdrawn heart, people who store up one-sided anger inside, envy and jealousy, distrust, suspicion: if you look closely, all negative thoughts that turn inward are also a desire for self-display coming from the strength of the ego.

In short, though it’s completely off the truth of life, they’re dying to express themselves in a twisted form.

All such aspects are what we mean by thoughts of self-display.

Only once you understand this can you take the next step.

What’s important is not to scheme to move your karma around and put up all sorts of useless resistance.

★Let’s Guide Ourselves Toward the Good

That’s because the best way to thin out karma is to strive to live expressing the light of life within you straightforwardly.

It’s what they often say: “If you have time to pick at your weaknesses, polish your strengths.”

Karma is the source of bad causes rooted in habitual thoughts, and it’s the biggest factor keeping people from living with the openness and innocence of life itself, right?

If you have time to reach out and try to move that, thoroughly polish the strengths you have and make them shine.

Then your faults and weaknesses fade without your knowing it, and before long they disappear.

And then one day, at some moment, when you suddenly look back, the time will come when you notice that you have escaped from what seemed like bad habits of thought and are living in the sacred consciousness of the light of life itself.

Every human being has infinite potential.

It’s just that they’ve been swept along by habits of thought that block it.

When you find the truth of your life in divinity, your life will begin to take a sudden turn.

It’s you who decides whether to do that or not.

Because no one but you can guide you.

Those who understand this well and guide themselves toward the good will find their wish to show themselves off fading away more and more, and before long they’ll become aware of the divine self expanded to the size of the universe.
