Some quotes by Roger Castillo:
"The cause of all suffering is our false belief in 'personal doership': the belief that we and other people are in control of how life unfolds."
"We are forced to feel shame and blame because of the deeply ingrained belief of personal doership".
"If the belief in personal doership starts to dissolve a great relaxation comes in."
"So how does that belief in personal doership get dissolved? It gets dissolved; and the terminology that we're using is that the belief in personal doership and attachment to outcome is contained in the thinking mind -- so that's just a conceptual name for a part of the mind -- let's say that has these beliefs as its base and that gets uprooted that belief system gets uprooted as the working mind -- which is another part of the mind that's saying gets given information -- and as that information is investigated and seemed to be accurate and there's a realization: Wow I never noticed this before and now I'm noticing it it's accurate and so now by default I have to start seeing life more and more like that."
For me Philippians 2:5 is a key scripture with deep implications.
Not to play Jesus outwardly in your ego, but to broaden your mind in regard to your own reality and relationship with Life.
We can have only one mind, we can serve only one master! Through Phil 2:5 we create a gap between our Self and our mind; Jesus becomes more real and important than our own person, if we choose to, after careful contemplation.
All the statements Jesus makes become your own statements that you can explore, feel and make your own; but be careful what you ask for:
Ask this yourself: Who or what am I?
Am I a time-bound body or faceless, formless Awareness?
I am = the first born, individualized Consciousness, Awareness, me free of false identity and suffering.
LORD = absence of the person, the separate-self.
light = light of Awareness, illumining all objects arising and subsiding in and as Awareness itself.
'this world' = man's interpretation, filtered through the conditioned mind; seeing multiplicity and diversity.
Earth = God's perfect creation.
truth = that which never changes in YOU = Awareness
Nothing can come to you that is not known, or predestined according to God's will.
Father = Father state of Consciousness; 'the cause of the phenomena of life'; benevolent, fulfilling, no-thing.
