“I will waken the morning star!” (Psalms 57:9)
So said King David, “Rather than the morning awakening me, I will awaken the morning.” (Jerusalem Talmud)
Wake up in the morning and decide what sort of a day today will be.
Don’t awaken because it is day. Let it be day because you are awake.
Because if you are awake only because the sun told you to rise, then you are still asleep.
The sensation of wakefulness—that is the day suspending you above your bed. The ‘you’ inside still slumbers.
But if the sun shines because you are awake, then you are living a real day.
Wake up in the morning and tell the sun to rise. Decide what sort of a day it will be and make it happen.
There is only one Actual Self, the Divine Self, the “I” that IS, and creates the Days, that we perceive as our world.
There are billions of conceptual “i’s” which are our ego’s, all are different because they encircle our knowledge/experience which we depend on for our safety and success and health etc. Actually the ego self brings us into conflicts with other egos, all of which are merely conceptual.
Language is all conceptual, except for when spoken out of Nothing by the Creator of All.
King David learned to surrender his ego completely to the Actuality of life in the Living Moment known as NOW, and released conceptions of past and future. There is no other “time” but NOW, look and you will see. Question: was it David who awakened the morning star, or the True Ruler of everything, to Whom he was totally dedicated.
