"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end: if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth - only wishful thinking and despair.” - C.S. Lewis
You r at the stage where you can see that any fear about Self doing or not doing , achieving or not achieving blabla is blocking permanent state of God connection. Play with puppies, have babies , doodle…simple shit is the way out of the intellectual bubble of ‘ I need to produce Art, be smart, achieve my souls life goals, enlightenment etc etc ..endless rollercoaster of ego re-creation. Wu Wei to all that and catch self obsessing about self .. giving up the ‘search’ is a way through you know ..
So much lovely writing in this one. Thanks for sharing (as always).
What’s most interesting to me at this moment, is the different paths we seem to have encountered. I was in a wilderness before I really had the “inward tunneling” and kind of integration. I wonder if that allowed me to come to acceptance in a more “big bang” fashion, whereas you explored more before you found that surrender. Perhaps I’m intuiting what you wrote wrong (or misprocessing my own experience!) and would like to read this again.
At any rate, I hope it’s a great end to the year and thank you for sharing.
I think you have found the way, take each day is it comes and do your best on God’s purpose for you and helping others as much as you can along the way.
Thank you for this Frederick. Much love.
Thanks, Dave!
