Reach a New Milestone

Notice as we reach a new milestone, come to the end of something, or feel ready to close a life chapter, the thinking mind would like to clarify what is next, or cling somehow to the familliar. It may seem like such a jungle "out there" and evoke fear and confusion. Looking for clarity and the nature of the game? Go deep inside. Travel inward. Uncover our timeless inner resources. Bravely explore the unknown. See where this winding journey takes us. Spread those wings!

What is the point of it all?

The moment arises where you just know what you are meant to do and you do it. This is not part of the process of seeking.  Thought is not involved.  It is like an inner voice guides and you feel right where you are, wherever that is.  There is no more fear, self-doubt or hesitation.  It is accepting what cannot be known and surrendering. You know longer ask questions like, "What is the point of it all?" Suddenly, being nothing is it.  Silence and stillness provide timeless answers.  Even peace and tranquility speak.

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." -Socrates 
"Knowledge is knowing that we cannot know. " -Ralph Waldow Emerson

Be the real thing

To be 'the real thing' is to be here now, focused entirely in the present moment.  How does this kind of attention impact on you?  What happens to the mind and its influence on your life as thoughts cease? As you feel this moment, how do you move?

When you ask how to be present, the mind tricks you into focusing on the future.  The present already exists and passes during your inquiry.  Notice how the mind creates visions of dreams and prompts you to assume they are merely a future possibility.  What happens as there is no more motive or seeking? What remains speaks for itself.
