It's ok to feel frustrated. Look at this feeling. See if it is just happening, or if it is happening to anyone.Coffee, I feel frustrated. I would very much like to get this.
Is there a difference between, "there is frustration" and "I am frustrated"?
Yes, fear and doubt show up in this.By conceptually, I can see that it's a thought. A thought that says there is no I. Much different than just knowing it. So in thought I think there is no I. When I look into it. I can see that there are thoughts I have trouble letting go of. Wants, desires. If there is no I. Then what is left to accomplish? To strive for? I feel fear. Somehow like I'm losing. This hardly makes me seem like I have it. I'm being honest here. The fear is that if I lose my separate self then I will be a walking smiling zombie with no aspiration or motivation. I know these are just thoughts but damn if they don't feel real. Doubt comes in. Maybe this is all bullshit and I'm chasing my tail? I'm struggling here..
So does love, happiness and peace.
Do you really want to see this? Would you sacrifice the feeling of accomplishment for the truth? Would you let go of all your desires for the truth?
Do you see that if you look and see that there is and never has been an "I", and there never has been any controller or doer, do you see that you have lost nothing? Look and see.
If you are worried about "losing control", "losing ambition" and all of the rest of it. Is this worry just a thought? A thought about losing something that may not even be there? If you look and see there is no controller, then you will see there never has been one, all of this has happened on it's own.
These are all "thought guesses" about what will happen if you finally realize what/who you really are. Why don't you just look and see for yourself. Are you the experiencer, or are you the experience itself? Are you living a life, or are you life itself?The fear is that if I lose my separate self then I will be a walking smiling zombie with no aspiration or motivation. I know these are just thoughts but damn if they don't feel real. Doubt comes in. Maybe this is all bullshit and I'm chasing my tail? I'm struggling here..
Is this experience happening to anyone/thing? Or is this experience the knowing of itself.
Instead of guessing, fearing, doubting what might happen if you look, just look and see :-)
Report back, how have things been going? What is showing up that is preventing from the looking?
