Safety check.

Saturday, August 1, 2026

Causality baffles us because it’s a convincing illusion. I know it feels like your actions are causal, but there is only One Movement against One Stillness. So with that, comes the understanding that no-one is to blame for the misery, the happiness, or the emotional tirade upon which you embark. You are by your lonesome. Your lane is private. Yet, you can recognize the infringement upon your own sovereignty–you.

If what’s the matter is caused, then what is it? When cause and effect are equal, why anything exists at all completely baffles me. Cars are stolen every day. But it’s not until your car is stolen that it seems to “cause” outrage. Why are you not outraged by every, single car theft in the universe?

If you take it personally, you believe causes are independent events unrelated to effect.

This acute sense of pain is misguided, personal, and it makes life feel like it’s attacking you. But what we want to point to is a neutral witnessing of something greater than what’s “yours.” Possession is a hard and persistent illusion to break. Over my dead body? Pry it out of your cold dead hands, now.

From your Highest Perspective you can imagine neutral witnessing. If you could be the unmoving witness, emotions would never overcome you. Wholeness is unaffected from a perspective that gets out of the weeds of personal domination and the possessive case called “mine.”

From this Highest Perspective, we are truly free from a personalized self and a conceptual god who loves her favorites and penalizes her bad ones.

Don’t take it personally. That’s the magic elixir of sovereignty. You’re safe in the Highest Perspective, free from grasping, hoarding, and preserving with the cold dead hands of the possessive sense.

Where are you today, bogged down in the weeds?

Consider this a safety check from your Highest Perspective.
