Awakening

How do you connect to God and let go of all of the "stress" that goes with the life that we experience? We must shut down the inner chatter of our mind and let go of our ego. Ego is that part of ourselves that is connected to the language of who we are, the job we have, and how we and others describe ourselves. We have a hard time surrendering to God and allow God to live in us and through us. We need to connect to the consciousness of God.

What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God's grace.
Galatians 2:19
If you dare, watch this video clip in the light of the above verse - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyyjU8fzEYU
Do not get caught up in the use of the word Nirvana, or that she does not use the word God or Jesus. Look at in in the light of Jesus being the God of the universe. Understand that you can connect through stillness and quietness of mind. "Be still and know that I am God.""Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." Connect to Jesus today, find God and shut down the inner voice of your mind and turn up the volume on God's mind. Read Philippians 2 and understand the mind of Christ. Awaken today remove the veil from your eyes (read the last post) and find God. This is why I always end with this word.
Namaste'
