Your definitely onto something that could be life changing.

Paradoxically when completeness is deeply felt/recognized, making changes can seem effortless.

The self-illusion or self construct is endlessly needy. It never becomes satisfied. It's survival strategy is "more more more" which translates to dissatisfaction and can cause suffering.

Something deeper is recognizing this ridiculous seeking fiasco circle jerk.

Keep looking into it 👊

The thing is: how do you make "completion" a permanent state?

"Completion" is counter intuitive when the scope is literally infinite.  A permanent state of completion in this case would be consistently including forever and ever and always.

This completion business is something completely alien if you think. Alien, I mean, completely outside of human considerations.

Which strategies do you use to complete yourself? 

Learning? Reading? Being Original? Doing Courses? Dressing? Adopting belief systems? 

All of that is unnecessary. No matter your strategy, being complete is not a thing you achieve. It just IS.

Personally what helped me is understanding that there is no substance behind my beliefs that something is lacking or missing. Whenever i try to look at the the sense of lack or sense of being incomplete, it appeared as a belief and nothing more and a belief which has no ground to stand on. And choice of not believing was always available.

Once i understood that nothing is needed from outside for me to stop believing in this, it became easier.

In that sense it was something created only because i accepted it.

Additionally i don't look for permanently fixing this. Because that became another ideal and that i wasn't meeting, hence creating a subtler kind of "sense of lack". So whenever i noticed it and i wanted it to disappear it did. With time it got weaker and weaker and occasionally i realize that i didn't felt like that for quite a while. Until it gets reminded or triggered again. It's not about enlightenment it's about habits and mental patterns. What's repeated gets established, i was practicing "sense of lack" for a life-time, so i started practicing something different and it took some roots with time.

Try this?  To complete any statement append either of these to the end of the statement:

• "or not"
• "and more"

Examples:

• Consciousness is everything ... and more.
• All rivers flow back to the same source ... or not.

I am thinking about this for a while. Appreciate your efforts. If you have more ideas to spread, I'm all ears.

What is your relationship to Ralston's work? books? ideas?
