New Enlightenment
Change how you think about yourself. Right now, you are programmed to believe you are the cause of suffering. You, John, or Sue, 
whoever you are, are caught in many beliefs that you did something wrong, and now you will suffer in hurt, shame, or guilt throughout life.
From birth to around age seven, we are conditioned in brokenness wired into our subconscious, as less than. We are taught to worry about how others perceive us and live life to please them. What will people think if you step out of the box of your culture and live in alignment with truth?
A Perspective Shift
We are taught through conditioning by the culture, family, and friends, by the schools we attend, achievements, awards, badges of merit, that we are “it.” We did it (whatever it is. Whatever we accomplished). We developed a personality based on the culture, but not on our truth. We developed false personas to cope with sadness, disappointment, and the lack of love. We developed outer shells of protection to push us farther and farther away from love.
Identities we created in childhood are mostly unconscious, separate us from love, and protect the innocence of the child from the harshness of the world, from criticism, and from being labeled.
Enlightenment is waking up on the other side of the ego’s identities that sculpted who you have become up until today.
Change how you think about yourself. You are not broken. Imagine all the labels you heard about yourself, feeling less than, not enough, hurt and angry, think of yourself as covered with yellow sticky notes. Start to take the sticky notes off. Each sticky note offered identity to a false persona. You might want to mourn some parts of yourself if you loved some identities. It’s okay if you do.
Let go of the ideas of being broken, stuck, or unhealthy; those labels exist in conditioning, but they don’t exist outside of that conditioned reality. We are on a spiritual path to dismantle the outdated views and identity, which call us incompetent, unlovable, egotistical, bad girl, or bad boy–all are fabrications of the ego to fit into a dysfunctional society.
Know the innocence of your inner child, her or his truth, the brilliant light of unconditional love the inner child holds is the closest you’ll get to the Divine in this life.
