A friend says:
‘I have a problem that needs time to be analysed.
I need to learn from it in order to prepare for future problems.’
I respond:
‘Can we look at the problem together so you can be free right here ?’
The friend answers:
“’I don’t want to be free. I want time to work out the problem so I can learn from it and get on with my life.’
Two voices of different realms of the mind.
One voice perceives the actuality of a problem.
The other voice looks from a perception of wholeness.
It sees the misidentification.
It invites the separate mind to look beyond its walls.
When there is ample room in the prison of the separate mind, there is no desire to look beyond the walls.
The mind seeks a solution through the means of denial, distraction, analysis or control.
The juicy energy of a problem takes the mind hostage and gives it a false sense of aliveness.
The invitation to look anew may not be received with gratitude.
The longing for true freedom steers the urgency for looking.
In stillness, the Unknown is beckoning.
