hi everyone-
it's been a while. recently a friend of mine asked me to take a detour on my path to awakening. after listening to me rant and rave about not being able to simply see the answer that i knew was staring me in the face. the answer was right there closer than my own skin i could feel it in my bones, so to speak.
he asked me to take a simple step which for me turned into the mount everest of my path, which isn't really a path. he said very simply do you think that you can stop? stop the reading which i had already done, stop the writing, stop the websites, just put it out of your mind.
in essence, can you turn it over to the universe and let it go. can you simply trust the universe and allow the chips to fall where they may?
well i did, i had exhausted myself anyway years of walking a path that the self wanted to pretend was unique but, in fact, it is well worn daily around the world. this ended up becoming my own way, and it led me to views of the universe i had never expected, in truth, it didn't lead me i simply stood still and a way of seeing washed over me, understandings of words flowed to me and i saw and see the world with new eyes.
LET ME BE CLEAR. no special mystical talent became mine. this was no physical "thing" it was and is an understanding that allowed me to see and to be what i have always been unburdened by layers of accumulated junk.
best always, robert
