    Thanks, Adam! Although the process of awakening and integration may indeed resemble a convoluted moibus strip, you nevertheless lay it out with great clarity. And what a wonderful relief when we finally realize that none of it is a problem! We are exactly where we’re supposed to be. And thank you for the reminder not to be averse to suffering. It leads us to amazing places – like here and now!

      Thank you, Kathleen! True words. And by the way, you have done a wonderful job once again. 🙂

    Thank you, Adam, for your cogent and personal teaching! I’m reminded of Joshu, a very well known Zen master who lived in 9th century China. He was said to have awakened early (in his 20s), but then spent another 30 years studying under his teacher (Nansen). When Nansen died (Joshu was 57 years old at the time), Joshu went on a pilgrimage to deepen his understanding. It wasn’t until he was 80 years old that must have felt clear enough to settle down and teach. Awakening, as most of us begin to realize, is just the first step; the real work is clearing and that will take as long as it takes!

    You’ve transformed ” a leg up on others” to “giving a leg up”. That’s certainly been One’s experience on this end (the one being given a leg up). And yesterday for me was a day of Tetris and TV, which is relatively rarer – but even that’s a story, as also that the “whole” day could be described that way! I know the ocean of spiritual failure I couldn’t have sailed on without you being in the lifeboat, that We Are.

    All Love, thru Mike-ing

    Adam,

    Thank you for this lovely post. Your words pretty much describe my experience. It’s helpful to read reminders that “I” am not doing something wrong. My mind loves to tell stories about how I’m not cut out for this whole awakening thing. It also likes to project ideas like “everyone else is getting this thing except for me.” I’ve found Byron Katie’s The Work most helpful when dealing with these frustrations on the pathless path. I wish you the best of luck on failing quickly (so hopefully the unit will learn to stop trying so hard).

    Daniel 🙂

      Daniel, I know exactly what you are talking about. Sometimes, when the mind doesn’t have a point of reference it just freaks out. I couldn’t be gladder that you have found this helpful.

    Thank you Adam. Much of this has very much been my experience, especially these past three weeks being physically sick with some kind of cough and tiredness. The thoughts, beliefs, suffering yes just shined the light, a wonderful reminder.
