The journey is the goal

Soul knows that in reality, goals do not exist. They are imagined into being by the ego mind which has its motives.  What happens as something within echoes that you are already home? How does this reframe your reasons for running 'here and there?' Why does a sense of purpose shift if you feel nowhere to go?

Imagine, for a moment, that you are already that which you are seeking or wish to become.  If the goal exists within you, it is innate nature.  This is not something to be achieved, obtained through rigorous training or external approval.  It is to be understood. Reflect on obstacles that currently prevent you from complete acceptance.  Which beliefs and attitudes keep you searching for what mind assumes is lacking?

Another view is the essence of being lacks nothing.  How do you come to possess things which confuse the truth? What would you attain as the things are eliminated? Nothing, but revelations of who you are not.  How you think begins and ends in the mind.  How you feel begins and ends in the heart.  In truth, the essence is aways on the path.  You accept where you are fully or turn away. The soul journey never ends.

The ultimate truth:
..'You accept where you are fully or turn away.
The soul journey never ends....'
I don't think anything else can be added to it. Truth is always Truth.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful post.
God bless.

If I feel I am "lacking" anything then I know I am in my mind space, so I center back to my heart space. For me, each moment is most fully experienced as it is when I am heart centered..

Hi Liara
I had no idea you were over here posting inspirational pieces almost daily. What a fete! I've had a look around and love what you're doing. I'll come back again. It's good to know someone in Australia who feels like a kindred spirit. :)

surjit, if one feels threatened in anyway, this is a sign that one is looking in the wrong places. As one chooses to notice when and why one attaches to things, then one develops a growing confidence and then feels free to let go. Such causes and conditions allow inner strength to expand to infinity.

Joy, developing a flexible mind, is like developing a flexible identity and recognizing the fluid, limitless transformation that is ongoing. Reflecting on the root causes of happiness and suffering brings one to explore the nature of ignorance and the entrenched ignorance of perceiving reality. Nothing is isolated. Everything we think and feel invites others to break out of their own holding patterns, to witnes and transcend them. Opening the heart is a catalyst to speed up the process of inner awakening.

Brenda, connecting with kindred spirits reminds one to feel grateful for every stage of awakening. Feelings of love and kindness reconnect us to the essential state of peacefulness. It is part of the journey to remembering the root of happiness and interconnecteness within that never leave.

Liara, you always have a way of explaining truth so simply. " How do you come to possess things which confuse the truth? What would you attain as the things are eliminated? Nothing, but revelations of who you are not." - Very well said.

Peace, Light and Love,

Cordie, simplicity exists within one's innermost being. Only the mind complicates things. Each person choosen what to outgrow and when. This is the process of sharpening discernment.
