Let's see if a metaphor comes to mind for you, kralaro, my spiritual buddy.
1st - how are you 'working'...reading? What...

Dissatisfaction or frustration on the Path happens when we have an expectation...now see,
right there, you're having a subtle expectation that
you 'should' be feeling at least some joy or satisfaction.
That's normal!
I know right? I mean ''Come on''...Where's the bliss...the peace!

Here's the metaphoric advice...wait ...here it comes....
"Cool your jets".

Why do I say that...couple of things...you are concentrating or simply focusing too much on the 'lack'....
The not having satisfaction of some kind.
That alone scares away the satisfaction. Weird, isn't it?

Now, say, you were ''working on knowing about God''...by simply sitting for 2 hours in complete stillness...
no interruptions...a silent timer in another room set for 2 hours. (88 cents at Walmart in the Kitchen section) ;)

And a week goes by...do you stop or get frustrated? Nope...you
say to yourself, I know He's there...so sit 3 hours.

I promise you with everything in me...you can be as close to God as you want to be...it all depends on how much time you want to spend.
Truly...cool your jets ...relax into it.. 'the process of the slow opening...'

You know there are caves where there is no water...yet there is a drip
every 30 seconds...
there is a river of water with time spent in patience.

Hope some of this clicks.

Please keep this in mind'


One reason you do not realize my love for you, yet,
is that you have not heard that much about it.
Well, listen carefully now...you cannot imagine at this time
how much love could possibly fill your chest.
If you focus your attention on me...if you focus your desire on me...
if you forget about other nonsense that surrounds you and distracts you from my love,
if you care only for this one thing...my love...then you can begin to open yourself to
it little bit by little bit....it will become your normal state.
You will not be able to bear being without it.
When this happens you will be filled even more with me and my love.
May you begin to want my love ever more.
