A new earth
The ego is always on guard against any kind of perceived diminishment. Automatic ego-repair mechanisms come into effect the restore the mental form of "me".
The mechanisms are self-justification, defense or planning.
A powerful spiritual practice is consciously to allow the diminishment of ego when it happens without attempting to restore it.
When you are seemingly diminished in some way and remain in absolute nonreaction, not just externally but also internally. You realised that nothing real has been diminished, that through becoming "less", you become more.
When you no longer defend or attempt to strengthen the form of yourself, you step out of identification with form, with mental self-image.
Thru becoming "less", you are infact undergo an expansion and make room for Being to come forward.
True power, who you are beyond form, can then shine through the apparently weakened form.
The spiritual truth is diametrically opposed to the values of our contemporary culture and the way it conditions people to behave.

Yea, I experienced it with food. I tot I would die without food. Food was my identity, my family's religion. Friends and family grieved for me when I have up meat. I become less in their eyes.
But to me, I m more now. My weight is reduced, my body is more flexible and skin complexion is better and my looks are getting more youthful.
So, now to be Less without a partner, without Z is something I need to go through.

Question
How do I go from realising what my inner purpose is to finding out what I am supposed to do on the outer level?
Answer
For some people, there is a sudden or gradual break with their past: work, living situation, relationship - everything undergoes profound change.
Some of the change may be initiated by themselves, not thru agonising decision making, but by a sudden realisation - This is what I have to do. The decision arrives ready-made, so to speak.
Some people find themselves walking out of an insane work environment or living situation.
So before you discover what is right for you on the external level, before you discover what works, what is compatible with the awakening consciousness, you may have to find out what is not right, what no longer works, what is incompatible wit your inner purpose.
Other kind of change may suddenly come to you from without. A chance meeting brings new opportunity and expansion into your life. A long-standing obstacle/conflict dissolves. Some relationship dissolve, others deepen.
You may get laid off, your spouse may leave you.
Some changes may look negative on the surface but you will soon realise that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.
When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities opens up in your life. It means fear is no longer a dominant factor in what you do and no longer prevents you from taking action to initiate change.
If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns to fear.
If uncertainty is perfectly acceptable, it turns to increased aliveness, alertness and creativity.

Father, thank You.
You answered my call again.
I just finished compiling the abridged book of A New Earth.
