How much time does your mind spend replaying the past - even when the past is one second ago - creating imaginary stories about how it should have gone?
Minds are very good at projecting thought onto other people and circumstances. So good that it’s near impossible to recognize it as projection.
We don’t think grief should last so long so we try to cheer ourselves up with more work, purchases, or closer relationships. When these things are used to distract from sadness, sadness knocks louder.
We don’t like the anger that’s arising so we try to see things in a nicer light to bypass or soften what’s arising. This is resistance and it will always hurt more in the end.
When you feel, what wants to happen is happening. It’s a relief, no different than a deep breath after holding your breath. No different than eating after starving or resting after hard work.
You’ve been seeing who and what your aren’t so you can discover more of who and what you are. And this is just the beginning.
Feeling into your formless essence takes care of all problems, all habits, all negative thought. It’s the most practical, simple, profound thing a human can do.
