(I've written over the past few months about STER: Selflessness, Timelessness, Effortless, and now Richness. Click on the links to catch up/review)

Whenever I think about Richness, I think about a quality, an experience, a feeling of something full, abundant, complete. I remember things like a complex red wine, dark chocolate, damp soil, a thick duvet...

When I think about richness within life, that feeling of fullness comes back again and again. That time isn't sitting empty, that what we consume is full of flavor, nothing missing, nothing watered down. That the experience is full of wisdom, or possibility, nurturing, or freedom, and that it will either continue to impact, and/or will draw something else in that is also plentiful or abundant.

I wanted to continue our deep dive into STER, and more specifically today on the area of Selflessness.

A lot of the teaching within the healing/conscious community will state that we need to destroy the ego, or deny our humanity, in order to expand into unity. But I believe that these teachings are incomplete and outdated...

A feeling of selflessness is not a denial of the unique gifts you hold or the journey you take. It is simply your opportunity to release attachment to the surface identity, enabling you to remember your connection with All that Is.

When we become to focused on 'me', we trip over the conflicting roles and identities. We lost sight of the bigger picture. This is simply a call to heal and release the labels that are too small, too fixed, and incomplete.

As we shed those layers, we...
