How do you get where you are going?

Humans are often conditioned to think, 'faster, better, cheaper.' That is, they are taught to seek short-cuts to their destinations, keeping those ends in -mind. Where you are headed is something the mind is determined to define, orient and steer. What if other perspectives beckon? The heart suggests you feel your way and disregard the logic. What if short-cuts to increased awareness do not exist?

Let's say your own experience is required to know what truly works. In other words, you only gain insight into who you are from making decisions and experiencing the consequences.   This includes the emotions that feel good and those which do not.  Each experience is meaningful for you have potential to gain from it.  You decide the what, when how and whey as well as when.

Another perspective is that getting somewhere is based on mind-focused, linear thinking.  The heart knows you are already a somebody as you are, where you are, and there is no need to go anywhere.  In this sense, the mind may tell you you are going nowhere fast.  Step away and reflect on the truly beautiful, loving soul are right now.  Revelations are part of Cosmic Synchronicity.

My destination is doing what is in accordance with God's divine right plan for me. When I am in harmony with that, my life goes smoothly and I feel ease and happiness. When I fight it, I don't get where I am going. My stress levels show me if I am 'on-course' or not.

Hi Liara .. I think the heart will take over at times .. then the mind will kick back in again as we need to move forward, we need to experience things, so that our heart can feel those .. and the cycle begins again .. obviously with lots of other input as well from life and people. I think! Thanks - Hilary

To do, equates to getting somewhere in the world. But we are always here right now, and if one is centered and in the moment from with-in, movement in the exterior world is irrelevant because one is Being true to one's heart based self within by feeling the movement of the energy that surrounds us as it arises. The currents take us on an internal ride which is then reflected into the outer world as being in motion. If one rides on the waves of feelings.....then there is no destination....only intimacy with the flow that swirls around us and through us. By following the Heart and feeling with the Soul, One transcends cycles and fated outcomes to bring One back in connection with everything.

Love this, particularly the last paragraph :p yep, eventually, the purpose and the journey are one; the purpose is the journey itself. In this light of nonduality, "faster, better, cheaper" have no meaning. They are simply residue of the duality of mind :D

Aurora, human beings are merely travellers who take temporary refuge in this life and a physical body. To gauge your course based on mood and emotion. Sogyal Rinpoche reminds us that in some ways, modern society celebrates those things that distract the soul from truth. Silence whispers what you require.

Hilary, ultimately, you need no assistance to get where you are going for you already imagine the self there. Change is real. It comes without warning. We are all encouraged not to take life too seriously and to remember to reflect on deeper meaning of existence, transitions and else exists beyond the physical. Peace of mind emerges from acceptance of who you are, by reflecting on what you truly understand about life and death and prospectivel life reviews.The cycle of birth-death and renewal is forever.

Bern, for some people their sense of achivement relates to how they choose to live and pass between dimensions, forms or states of being. Whatever we choose during this existence makes us what we are as we transition. Absolutely every choice counts.

[Liara Covert]

Rizal, the residue of existence is forever with you as a frequency or vibration that exists as an energetic imprint. Exploring fears and judgments propels a being further along the path of maturity to the revelation of being what he always is: timeless.

It's not destinations but journeys that count (I think)

Indeed! We are whole and complete in this very moment. Everything else is an exercise in further understanding!
