Ego and the Long Path...

It is actually an ego desire to take the long path..

The long path wants to keep the egoic consciousness but still be closer to the Joy of Love..

The short path of Zen is the total sacrifice of all personal desires especially the desire for separation from Unconditional Love called separate ego or identity..

There are levels of the dissolving of ego that bring your consciousness into a Joyful experience..

But, the Greatest Joy is to totally leave this fantasy of separation and be Reborn as Your Real Self..

This actually feels as though You have just been born..

In later experiences of Divine Consciousness, You just enter the Light and Love as walking through a door..

The complete secret is that 'you' must become 'Nothing' to become 'Everything'...

You will understand this upon Your Awakening....
