The Comedy of Being Somebody

[James123]

The more seriously you take yourself, the more you suffer.

The heavier your sense of being “important,” the more fragile and vulnerable you feel, because ego thrives on weight, status, recognition and collapses when those are threatened.

Real freedom comes when you drop the burden of importance and let yourself be light, ordinary, nobody.

Therefore, The more important you think you are, the more life will fuck you. Because life doesn’t care for your seriousness. Drop it, and you are free and nobody.

The weight of importance is the weight of suffering; let it go, and you are light as air.

The good news is that a “Somebody”  knows they are God. That’s a good feeling, nothing compares. This is home.

Here, I’m always home with the beloved, my self.

These are still efforts. The me is always taking out it's tool kit to not be a me. It's funny how these calls to action to take no action are still actions. Neurosis and dis-ease at it's finest. There's nothing anyone can do or not do to become a nobody.

Real freedom cannot be conditioned and have an agenda. That's not real freedom to drop the burden of importance. Real freedom is free to also be burdened with importance and be heavy, extra-ordinary and a somebody.

That's just the me talking to soothe it's dis-ease and seeks relief from itself. The one that doesn't care what arises and appears, is a closer representation of what true freedom expresses. True freedom is the freedom to be anything, the rest is slavery; which is also true freedom, so it's all done.

More like the comedy of trying to be a nobody. A nobody being a somebody that tries to be a nobody.

Just lie back and watch these thoughts.

Who is exactly that "somebody"?

The “ somebody “ is the same one asking who is somebody. 

There’s something curious and something able to be aware of this curiosity. 
And there’s something that gives curiosity a name.

İf you believe or attached to, there is "somebody" that's the ego.

İf word of "somebody" arise and falls within awareness and not attached to it, that's the Truth. 

Your case is ego.

Does it matter if ego is a comedy?

Ego is not alive, you believe in it, and therefore alive.

İf you be simply witness of these thoughts or beliefs, after some time, witness and witnessed, attachments or thoughts dies.

By meaning comedy is not blaming or making fun.

Not actually alive.

Call it God, Pure Consciousness, Allah, etc... Actually it has no name, because any name belongs to mind.

Therefore, what is always here. That's.
