getting off the hook (does this make sense?)
    #22044477 - 08/04/15 08:50 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Seems to me We suffer because we stay too far away from what is actually going on, stay too far away listening to mind-yap commentary on what is actually going on. What is actually going on is just happening, just doing itself. The  commentary says: "Hey, do this or that will happen, do that or this will happen! Hey, She shouldn't have done that! Hey, I shouldn't have done this!"

This second guessing what is just happening of itself--AND EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE COMMENTARY, IS JUST HAPPENING OF ITSELF--and this shoulding and shouldn'ting, is the essence of most of our misery and suffering.

What to do? Get closer to your actual life.

How? Look at what is happening now. Look closely. Are you doing any of it? For instance, when you open your mouth to speak, do you really know what you are going to say from instant to instant? Do you have to think:"What is the next word I need to say here to finish this sentence?" Suppose you and a friend are sitting just chewing the rag. Do you have any need at all, or indeed any time, to plan the next thing you are going to say? It all just happens.

Everything is like that. Thought, emotions, decisions, joys, sorrows. They all just happen in exactly the same way that the words you say in a casual conversation with a friend.

So what's all this business of: You should, you shouldn't, come in? Or, you're good, you're no good? How can you be good when whatever you do just arises of itself. How can you be bad either?

I could go on but the point has been made. If you watch closely sooner or later it will dawn on you that  LIFE IS SPONATNEOUS TO THE CORE.

No one is at the wheel.The wheel of life doesn't need anyone to be at it. It turns istelf, always has, always will.

If you look, one day you will suddenly see it whole. You will know that you have seen it by this sign: A wave of bliss. It will eventually subside but you will never after that forget: I'M OFF THE FUCKING HOOK!

I post this in the Pub, but I guess this is the forum where it should go. If not, olease let me know where to post it.

This thread was moved from Physical and Mental Well-Being.

Reason:
Subject matter is better suited to PS&P.

:thumbup: Nicely put! There is no doer! this is the big secret, the ultimate truth that is comprehensible to us. It's been a long road for it to penetrate my psyche. Still not quite off the hook yet though.
