It doesn’t matter how down trodden life seems to be, or how far behind you may feel in some area. You are where you need to be. The very clicking of this article, the very curiosity that spun you in this direction, has profound purpose.
Let me tell you about myself and how it connects to you.
Life Is The Current Of Desire
I am split between a variety of activities. Game Development, Writing, Podcasting, Art/Animation, Music, Livestreaming, and more. I can’t say that I am very well known for any of the work I do (as of yet). And yet most often, I am driven to focus on nothing. I take walks of meditation and sit within the space of peace and ecstasy, that is within sensing the happening of the moment.
This scattered and slow way of life, is the way I prefer to live. I do what pleases me in every moment and if not, I am always learning why I chose to sacrifice my preference over some other plan. For others it will be different.
If I assume the most lucky or lofty thing will take place, then I align to the energy of that thing. And so, I am not sure why I would do any kind of work that doesn’t lead to that thing.
In assuming that my future desires are met in this moment, I become free to be where I have the ability to be. So, even though the overarching thought of my mind has many future desires, such as living in a house on an island, making a musical band, healing my brachial plexus injury, having a family, and so on, they cannot effect my present state of fulfillment. Otherwise, how could I really enjoy those things when they arrive? If my mind is constantly in some forward motion of planning, devising, hoping and wishing, then my life will never appear to truly improve.
Enjoyment Happens Only Now
This is why I constantly have the realization that now is where the conscious mind needs to rest. In this, I can reach a profound state of being where it is as though I am completely fulfilled within the limitations of my reality. Bliss lights up the energy flowing around my body and I feel the child-like wonder of the universe being alive. Holding this space is done in a type of non-thought. A type of sensitivity to your entire awareness. I have noticed that if I allow this space to be as it is, small acts of magic seems to play out before me with my interactions with people.
I then naturally let my actions follow this line of magic without concern that my future desire may not be fulfilled. This balancing act is easier written then preformed, for an all enveloping consciousness has to be awakened in every single moment, for the mind to be tamed into the idea that nothing erroneous can occur by surrendering to what is.
So in this way, you can see how every action you take is what action you need to be taking. The mind follows the action and can instantly see why that action is preferable and why it may not be. The trick is, when the mind takes an action that it later realizes was not as preferable as it could be (for example buying food that makes you sick) to not assume that you are now in a place where you are not supposed to be. On the contrary, you are now more aware of what choices are preferable and what choices are not, no matter how many times your awareness chooses the same unpreferable options, it just means your awareness needs that amount of comparable experiences.
This Is Where You Need To Be
Thus, this is where you need to be. Right here, reading these words, at whatever life situation you currently find yourself in. As soon as your mind desires to go in another direction or do something else without doubt or concern of the future resolve, then you reach a new moment of now, where you are inevitably always heading in the direction of your highest interest. It doesn’t matter the responsibilities that are currently placed upon you, you know that the karma you are dealing with, has an important purpose with all you are interacting with, and all of which your soul is balancing from within and without.
Be at peace! You have arrived to the only point there is, of which can only seem to degrade, yet in actuality always naturally improves! The more awareness of this point, the easier everything seems to be! So I write this verse:
I desire something I cannot reach
And thus, the greater desire is revealed
Lo, it appears to be nothing I desire more
And as the desire of nothing awaits
It makes that fulfillment…
Multiplied seven by four.
