Nowhere = reality

5 posts in this topic

I've been realizing, whatever I accomplish is not going to make me happy. Can anything external really bring true fulfillment? It seems like every human is their own planet. I find myself stressed sometimes. But it seems like reality is no where.

@Shakazulu How about experiencing and living that? Check the book ‘Loving What Is’.


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

Not only that, but it also won't last. Any of your good deeds will be washed away by time.

Now what?

'[G]oing to make me happy' is Ego.  Ego is never gonna make you happy.  That's the big realization that comes with finding the true Self.
