AND BE GOOD FOR GOODNESS SAKE

The final obstacle is the intention;

It is the egos clever decision to do whatever it takes

To make itself happy, even if it means living an unselfish life,

Even if it means thinking of others and putting their needs and wants first.

But this is doomed thinking. 

Action based on any agenda to serve the self is futile.

It will not get you into heaven because heaven 

is the surrender of self and self concern. 

Serenity, Joy and the infinite energy of Love

is available only to those who discard their attachments, 

any and all attachments to gaining anything at all. 

There can be no fear and no thought of scarcity. 

There need be no Leap of Faith

Because this implies that at the end of that leap

You will be saved.

No,

 there must be a complete and total acquiescence,

A giving up entirely. 

No redemption, illumination, nor heavenly reward,

Just the true Dark Night of the Soul..

The deep and complete release from all desires..

Nothing is left but nothing,

Infinite darkness,

Silent and empty

Of hope, of beliefs, of needs.

This is where God’s great gift is hidden,

In this last place, beyond even the looking for God.

When the delusion 

That we ourselves are not God finally collapses, 

We are left with what we had all along 

Hoped was true,

We are all our very own super heroes, 

Capable of the greatest of feats,

 Rescuing goodness for goodness sake;

                                                           Being Good for Goodness Sake
