It's good to have a release, but don't turn it into an escape.

We are on the same page. How does a baby 'know' he is everything? He merely is. Gradually, by learning the environment around him, he realizes that he is 'here' and other things and people are 'there'.
This development is essential for functioning in physicality. It is the ego. But, the ego is the belief in lack. It is what we are not. We have to negate what we are not to understand that we are everything. So, in a sense, we realize everything through being nothing.

I have to disagree -
We do arrive with everything but also believe we are everything. When a baby wants something. it goes for it. It only learns as it grows older that there are limitations. I think that society forces us to lose that childish belief in ourselves and teaches us to let go of values that we once held dear. I think it's society that diminishes our belief in ourselves by forcing us to "grow up".

Yes. The wanting creates the idea of being without.

Which came first: The thought of being less, or the experience derived from wanting more?
I like that and I think it's the latter.

Hmmm that sure made me think...
I think we want more...so we believe we have nothing.

Through doing, the idea about who we are can become altered. We get a 'new' idea about what is possible, and who we might be after all.

Neither did I. But, I am referring to the language of the subconscious. The belief in being a separate, isolated person who must have in order to be is very strong. All of our legal and societal systems are based on this premise.
The spiritual masters have all declared that we do not need a thing here; moreover, by being love and peace that we realize what we obstruct by working to obtain them while here.
I would daresay that many of the religious systems are also based on the idea that we are less than who we really are. From this feeling of lacking, we project neediness on God and think there is something we must do in order to gain His approval.

avant--Perhaps my biggest "issue." I'm simply unable to do this.
I've tried, but I've yet to even come close to convincing myself.

I must have had great parents. I don't remember having, at any time in my long life, the feeling that I was nothing. They gave me the courage to believe in myself.
