Survival is a tool not a goal

[tatsumaru]

Consider the following paradigm shift - survival is a tool not a goal.
Survival belongs to the realm of relativity, which means it's really just a temporary systemic phenomenon which is just a fancy way of saying an illusion and illusions can't be worthwhile goals.
Allow yourself to directly experience how you function as a being when you identify with the body and make survival your goal.
Now allow yourself to directly experience how you function as a being when you identify with awareness and inspiration and you see survival/body as a tool which is useful and important for your journey, but losing it isn't fatal.

First experience = risk-aversion, fear, clingyness,mediocrity, contraction, scarcity-mentality, ego-centrism, plotting, scheming, hoarding, exclusiveness
Second experience = the only risk becomes the risk of living a meaningless/purposeless life, appreciation, clarity, inspiration, expansion, plentitude-mentality, heart-centrism, sharing, inclusiveness

With the second experience survival feels advantageous, but not real. With the first experience survival feels both impossible and mandatory which leads to a constant cognitive dissonance.

Survival is a tool to help you uncover your self and bestow your gift to humanity, once you are done you no longer need it.
