The Framed Life is Not Worth Living
Living in a given frame of reference may provide a sense of security, but it becomes a stultifying limitation to one's creativity. The real rite of passage is breaking free of all frames.

The metaphor of plasma brings clarity as to the higher powers of the mind. Once the alchemical process of kundalini cultivation is underway, the energy of consciousness can be modulated to higher frequencies that will come to vibrate through the body and the morphogenic space. This revisioning of the meaning of yoga makes the transcendent heights of Total Presence more immediately accessible.
A short answer to a lifelong question: How to be free of the drive deadlock in the ego? Step One: Acceptance. Step Two: Notice that neither side would bring satisfaction, even if achieved. Step Three: One side refers to an illusory past, the other to an unreal future. Step Four: Presence!
Every ego has been framed. Even knowing that though, it continues its self-framing regardless of the suffering that it causes to itself. The ego prefers a dysfunctional identity to none at all. Every authentic spiritual tradition tries to offer a way out, but very few egos are interested.
The unfolding drama in the unreal world is but the rebirth pangs of Cosmic Self-realization. The Eternal Light of God is washing away the last traces of the manifest mandala of divine human history and those of every world system—simply by dissolving the stain of emotionality that hides the Bliss of the Real.
The current type of ego structure is a defense against its own anxiety. This comes flavored with paranoia, the taste of which lurks in the shadows of the ego complex. The ego is constantly trying to hold it at bay, but it can erupt at any time and bring on a crisis. The good news is that this situation will motivate one eventually to transcend the ego by transforming the paranoia into metanoia. This is the Great Pearl.
The world situation is dire. The US economy is in its death throes. Europe is also coming apart. Store shelves will soon be empty. War is threatened or has already erupted in every region. And the same is happening in the microcosm of nearly every ego. Chaos is accelerating to final destruction. Yet this is a blessing, a merciful quick end to a dying world. The Light of God is becoming more palpable as well, at least to those souls who have faith in and love for the Supreme Lord. We have the inherent right to choose redemption while still alive. Grace is given to all whose hearts are open.
A question about frustration leads to a profound reframing of the purpose of life: It is not about doing but Being. The way out is in—until the inside and the outside are recognized as one, and the true nature of the Self is finally understood.
We are living in a time of disillusionment with the world, especially with political leaders. Even those once thought to stand tall for vital principles will sell out when offered high posts in the system—and do it shamelessly. The same pattern is emerging at every fractal level. Yet this winding down of history into a final power struggle will at the end be overridden by the revelation of the truth of God. There will be no atheists at the Eschaton.
The ego lives in bondage to a finite mind. When the soul awakens and seeks its Source, the Infinite Self emerges into consciousness. That is when karma loses its grip and can no longer cause suffering.
