The Neutral Point of Choice: A Spiritual Exodus

In the heart of spiritual awakening lies a fragile, sacred space — a neutral point of choice. This is the zero point of human development, where we birth an independent observer within ourselves, capable of standing between the vast, opposing forces of reality: rejection and attraction, separation and unity, hate and love. From this delicate balance, we embark on a journey of self-transcendence, rising above the ego’s pull to align with the Creator’s boundless qualities of pure, selfless, and unconditional love. This is not a journey of choosing sides but of surrendering to the divine force that guides us toward true freedom.

The Birth of the Neutral Observer

The neutral point is a place of truth, a precarious balance between good and bad, where we strive to hold an objective viewpoint. Achieving this state is a monumental feat, as it demands all our effort to resist being swept away by the ego’s relentless tide. In this fragile equilibrium, we lack the strength to choose directly. Our energy is consumed by the act of maintaining this independent observer — a point of freedom, weightless and embryonic, existing above the ego’s grasp.

This neutral observer is born through struggle, much like the biblical exodus from Egypt. The story of slavery and liberation symbolizes this spiritual birth, where we recognize the ego’s dominion over our thoughts, desires, and calculations. As we awaken to the possibility of another way — to exist in harmony with the Creator’s qualities of unconditional love and service — a yearning for escape takes root. Yet, this escape is not achieved through our own power. Instead, it begins with a prayer, a total surrender to the Creator, asking for the strength to rise above the ego’s pull and draw closer to the divine.

The Struggle to Stay Afloat

Holding this neutral point is like treading water in a stormy sea, with the ego’s waves crashing over us, threatening to pull us under. Every thought, desire, and calculation rooted in self-interest must be observed and transcended. We strive to keep our heads above the raging waters, yearning to “breathe the free air” of love and bestowal. This is a battle fought not in isolation but in the embrace of a mutually supportive group — a collective of souls committed to uplifting one another.

The group is our lifeline, a safety belt woven from shared prayers and unwavering support. Yet, it is the Creator’s magnetic force that truly holds us aloft. By fully subjugating ourselves to the Creator’s qualities — consenting to whatever divine will unfolds — we anchor ourselves in the divine domain. This surrender allows us to balance between the ego’s downward pull and the Creator’s uplifting attraction, maintaining the fragile neutral observer point.

The Intensifying Struggle

The spiritual struggle is not static; it grows fiercer with each step. The ego and the Creator’s altruistic force stand as equal, opposing powers, and we lack the ability to choose between them on our own. Even the group can only help us maintain this delicate balance, not resolve it. Our true power lies in our prayer — a complete surrender to the Creator, asking Him to make the choice for us and draw us closer to His divine qualities.

This struggle is a crucible, designed to reveal the stark contrast between the ego’s cancer-like self-interest and the Creator’s selfless love. Through this comparison, we come to know and attain the Creator, not as an abstract concept but as a living force. The ego’s pull intensifies, even after we achieve moments of independence, serving as a necessary counterforce. A constant, useful fear keeps us vigilant, ensuring we maintain our connection with the Creator, who suspends us above the ego’s control.

The Birth of the Human Embryo

The journey culminates in a moment of profound transformation: the birth of the Human embryo. This is not a gentle process but a laborious one, akin to being pulled through the eye of a needle. Through the narrow birth canal of struggle, supported by the group’s mutual commitment, we convince the Creator of our sincerity. We do not flee the pain but embrace it, devoting ourselves to the collective prayer and support that sustain us.

When the Creator deems us ready, He grants us passage into a new reality. We leave behind everything except the neutral observer point — the nascent Human embryo within us. This embryo takes on a new form, operating with the Creator’s altruistic intentions. Our desires and calculations remain, but they are no longer controlled by the ego. Instead, the neutral observer harnesses them, using them solely for selfless love and bestowal.

A New Way of Being

The ego does not vanish; it remains as a necessary contrast, a reminder of what we have risen above. This tension fuels our spiritual growth, keeping us alert and connected to the Creator. The original egoistic mindset becomes a backdrop against which we measure our progress, ensuring we never take our freedom for granted.

In this new state, the neutral observer achieves a dynamic balance between the ego’s pull and the Creator’s attraction. This balance is not static but alive, a conduit through which we feel the flow of life itself — the Creator’s contentment and joy. To sense this harmony is to experience a previously incomprehensible fulfillment, a glimpse of the divine source that sustains all of reality.

The Role of the Group

The group is the womb where this transformation unfolds. To enter this sacred space, we must nullify ourselves before others, committing to live and serve them exactly as they need. This act of surrender is not a loss but a liberation, allowing us to exist for the sake of others. The group’s mutual support and commitment create the conditions for the Human embryo to develop, clothed in the Creator’s godly qualities.

The Joy of Alignment

The neutral point of choice is both a beginning and a destination. It is the place where we stand poised between two worlds, surrendering our will to the Creator and allowing Him to guide us toward love and bestowal. Through this journey, we do not erase our humanity but transcend it, becoming vessels for the divine. The struggle, the group, the prayer — all lead to a moment of birth, where we emerge into a new perception of reality, forever changed.

This is the exodus of the soul: a laborious, joyful passage from the slavery of the ego to the freedom of divine alignment. In the fragile balance of the neutral observer, we find not only our humanity but the Creator’s essence, flowing through us as the source of all life, love, and joy.
