Send us a textA practice journey is often fueled by attempting to reach or attain a certain something, an “it” that we’ve heard described by others and/or imagined for ourselves. At the same time, again and again the teachings say you already have it, you are inherently it, and there is actually nothing to attain. These can be equally frustrating and confusing. The idea that there is something to attain serves as a motivation for practice, yet that very idea can be a significant obstacle to realizing we already have it. Likewise, it can be reassuring and encouraging to hear again and again that we already have and are all that is needed – but if so, why is it so difficult to feel this, know this, see this for ourselves? Perhaps the way through this is a sideways move, stepping out of the dichotomy of having and not having, releasing the ideas of what it is, how it looks, and what it will be like/is like when we realize we have it, wandering along more freely and openly, no need for measuring and gauging and comparing and judging, simply noticing this, this, this as we make our way along in the dark, unimpeded by the light of all those knowings.Support the show
