There is a great struggle that emerges when you feel that there is something fundamentally missing in your life. Can I tell you, nothing is missing. The sensation of being “left out” needs to dissolve. The feeling of urgency and competitiveness needs to dissolve. The so-called race against time needs to dissolve. As all of these illusory “hindrances” clear up, you begin to realize that you’re not doing anything – you’re being done. This is the great mystery of life, the nature of creation realizing itself from within you. Remember, the universe is perfect. You are a fragment of that perfection, so what could you possibly add to yourself to make you any better? Nature takes care of herself, and you are not left out of that love.
The key is to get out of your head; obsessive thinking nullifies growth. Get into the flow – get into the flowering that so desperately wants to come from you. Let some sunshine into your soul by opening the window from within. Stop doing so much. There’s nothing wrong with accomplishment, but if it gives you a sense of identity, and it’s all there is to making you feel complete, you are chasing your tail.
Life is not a race any more than a blossoming tree is in a race to mature. The direction of unfoldment is from within to without. Start from silence and “listen,” with stillness, to that sacred aura of life humming in the background. Life is sustaining you, breathing you, being you, and the sense that you are separate, or “doing” anything is illusory. Discovering yourself will launch you into a new, effortless, desire-less direction. You can’t make over what’s already perfect, but you can develop what is calling from within you. Rethink how you live, and get out of the way. Let yourself unfold, naturally. It’s all being done, perfectly.
