Affluent, Reassuring Deservingness:
The concept of deservingness, as presented in the sources, is closely linked to the level of awareness a person adopts toward themselves and toward existence. Awareness places us before two paths: a dark path in which a person sees themselves as merely a marginal event or a very small, valueless number in this universe, and an illuminated path that views existence as a dream or an experience with deeper meaning that transcends absurdity.
Here are the most important ideas about deservingness and awareness as mentioned in the sources:
-
Liberation from fearful awareness: True deservingness begins when a person frees themselves from the “fearful awareness” that makes them feel resources are limited (whether food, health, or happiness). This contracted awareness drives a person toward poverty and scarcity out of fear of them, whereas an awareness of richness and abundance sees existential truth as too vast to leave anything on the margins.
-
Self-worth versus marginality: The source indicates that deservingness is influenced by how much a person believes they are a “cosmic anomaly” or an “air bubble” without value, versus being part of a great, all-encompassing awareness. A person living with low awareness sees themselves as so small that they are marginalized, while rich and secure awareness makes life “fortified and resilient.”
-
Enjoying the moment as an act of deservingness: Not being “deceived” by time and savoring it (that is, not living in the present moment and dancing with life) allows suffering and poverty to bare their fangs. Deservingness manifests in delving into the droplets of life and walking toward its core, making even harsh experiences pass gently like a soft breeze.
-
Spiritual immunity: A person who adopts a calm, secure, rich, and strong awareness gains a spiritually safeguarded “harvest,” and crises that may destroy a trembling, fearful awareness do not harm them.
-
Emerging from the coma of self-deception: The source mentions that many people lie to themselves in order to continue living because of their fear of the end. High deservingness requires liberating the self from fears that bind it downward and entering a state of awareness that does not collide with suffering as an inevitable fate, but transcends it through inner fullness.
In short, deservingness from the perspective of the sources is the transition from an awareness of scarcity and fear that sees a person as a fleeting, valueless event, to an awareness of abundance and richness that enables a person to live a rich, courageous life open to existence.
