What is wrong in this immediate experience?
Because I notice that every time you look closely, the answer tends to come back as ‘Nothing.’
Then a few seconds later another thought appears, the “Yes, but…”
…And a new story begins.
The body still prefers food to starvation.
The body still prefers shelter to exposure, still applies for jobs, learns skills, talks to people and on and on…
None of that requires a separate self to exist!
What if stabilization is already happening the same way all the other changes happened? Without a manager, just life unfolding.
Rather than taking the nihilistic path, what happens if the thought/belief is that everything is uniquely special? As in, what makes ‘you’ NOT whole and complete that is not a thought?The sadness that was propping up the idea that my life was uniquely special in some way and needed to go well. Sadness seems to be an energy that starts from around the chest and moves downwards through the torso.
Would the sadness, this sensation, be suffering without the thought that it should be different?
Big love,
