remember that whenever you become something, you have moved into illusion. Only in being nothing does the everything you are reveal itself, and it reveals itself to no one.

The seeker was never the cause of your motivation to wake up; rather, it was the vehicle for that. The path was created for you by Divinity Itself, and you walked it because you were called to do so from a deeper place.

After the next awakening, a deeper level of meaning will enter in, but it hasn’t happened here yet. Here, there can be a loss of meaning without anything to replace it. This could lead to depression, lack of motivation, or withdrawal.

(See the illustration, Karma Knots, on the next page.) Only

Fixating harder on something that is known won’t open the door to the unknown.

If you are really looking for awakening, then an important step for you on this journey towards true awakening, is to give up chasing past peak experiences.

going and returning had nothing to do with awakening, that these were just different dream states for the ego. In true awakening, there is nowhere to get to and no one to go anywhere.

“For every going there is a return.”

You don’t need to expand to become what you are, you just need to go deep enough that what you are emerges. That is what brings true freedom into your life.
