There is no striving for in striving we lose the peace and innate wisdom that is already there. Love and blessings! Hello Nicole,

For me, the beauty of the spiritual path is that there is no need to get there, the journey is the path and all of it, our wanting to understand is also the goal. There is no striving for in striving we lose the peace and innate wisdom that is already there.

Love and blessings!

It absolutely makes sense to question whether our decisions will bring love to ourselves and others. Sometimes I feel like I'm gathering this knowledge without the wisdom of how to apply it to my life. You bring clarity and love to these somewhat uncertain topics, and I truly appreciate your presence in my life. Thank you. Thank you, Miruh, for showing me the clarity in a seemingly chaotic topic.

I believe that no matter what the story we have either chosen or been given, it is how we relate to what is, that will move us along to the next phase of our learning. I am glad you liked it. Deep peace to you! Hello Mark,

I think that is the point of physical existence: "I personally want to enjoy the stories my mind creates!" I think that the teachings of this scripture allows us to do just that. To recognize that what is, is only the creation of mind, and to not get too serious about it all. It helps us to let go of conflict and judgment, to rewrite our stories, to live in joy through creating what brings love to oneself and others. I believe that the point of this physical existence is to create the reality that is in alignment with our truth. The narrative can be as simple or complex as we want to create it, but the essence would be of joy, peace and enlightenment. We can set goals with this perspective in mind; do they bring me closer to love or take me away from love. In this way we can have more peace and love, right here and now and not in some future nirvana. It is not simple or easy since the mind is a great illusionist but we can hold ourselves with compassion and the intention to keep aligning with Truth. As always, your thoughtful words provoke a deeper contemplation on the subject. Thanks! Deep peace to you! Hello Nicole,

This is a fantastic illustration of how all is an illusion of our creation and that all is as fluid as water. I love this parable, thank-you for sharing.

If I don't have my illusions, what do I have? If I don't have "reality" then how do I exist? Is it the ultimate goal to shed ourselves of all our thoughts, perceptions and ideas? Or is having a goal also non-existent, something made up in my mind? I personally want to enjoy the stories my mind creates! I love having a physical body that I can challenge, and a mind which creates. When I leave this body, I can experience the silence, the peace, the tranquility. For now I will be content to enjoy fleeting moments of peace ... as often as I can. Nicole This topic makes me feel like I am free falling … If I don’t have my illusions, what do I have?
