Aye James...my expectations always got in the way of my momentum as well, until I realised that it really wasn't that difficult to spot my expectations and toss them into the bin. That was when I made huge leaps & bounds.  |

It's all good.....
I must say though, that now I freely follow my expectations, no matter what they are, because my need to search has ended. There is no momentum beyond what I am doing or interested in these days and it feels good. |

That 'thing' before it comes into awareness is empty. I've seen this. I can't explain it beyond that and I don't have a need to understand it........but I have seen this. |

Hi nh
It seems sometimes we are told consistently not to identify with this thought or that feeling or the mind body etc etc etc fill in the blank _________ but by golly, ya better identify with illusion 'cause that is the only real thing goin'

So why undertake this cyclic chore of create and destroy? I mean some people are very happy with their creations and enjoy what comes with them so I don't want to generalize as I don't know whether everyone feels the same way as me and thats why I am interested to hear your responses....

I can relate to that Sound. I went thru a time where I identified with no identity.
Of course I didn't realize it at the time but it was a worthwhile trip and one I will be aware to never go on again.......lol

LOL..well that just wiped out all the guilt I might have been feeling...no, really...
I've done the journey and come back round again to discover there is nothing that needs to be discovered. Nothing that needed to be changed because it was all perfect as it is. I keep an open mind and realised that my well is bottomless and I could never fill it like I once thought I could. Ive also learnt that life holds all the keys to energy expressing in this moment, so ive no need to search anymore...but I still explore |

That’s great!
With me it’s different. I came back around like you with no more need to seek and yet plenty of exploring going on but I can’t seem to find rest in a knowing that it’s all perfect or that nothing needs or needed to change.
I found rest in knowing God and THIS but not coming away from that with any answers. Life is still a free fall with nothing to grab onto. Sometimes I’m cool with that. Sometimes I’m not……….lol
Blessings, James

No..that's really neat James
Do you feel you can find acceptance in "no answers"? Free-falling is perfect. The grasping onto is what stalls the process of spirit knowing who James really is |
