Deeper into letting go

[Cathal]

This path is good, it is really good, takes time. It iant a mind blowing psychedelic experience or fantastic induced state by some means, but a fading away of the darkness in the heart that makes us dissatisfied and disconnected -- by a practical skill of course correction, so that what darkness (or defilement) arises, it will fade away. If it is not present, to not make it arise. What is good and useful, to bring that quality forth from the heart, if it comes out through that right effort, to learn to make it consistent and stronger and arise again and again. 

 

I just tried to sum up "letting go" because ive originally learned it from Dr David R Hawkins yeara ago through his book, found the Buddhas Dhamma, and saw there certainly seems to be a natural leaning towards surrender.  Its as if all you "can do" is just give up the I, the imaginery self that craves its own seperation, back to Reality.

 

For you, what does letting go mean?

@Cathal Good to see you!

I could have taken that path too. I've decided other things. But training such a quality is very important to me.

I definitely want to be more consistent with creating contemplative spaces in my day to day. A lot surfaces there. But I avoid formal meditation practice nowadays. Although I guess you could consider laying down without distraction as a meditation too.
