Brief Note From The Journey

When I get still physically and/or mentally, there is a deeper sense that my mind is contantly “under construction”…….thought forms turning into building blocks of beliefs and fuel for the fire of emotional reactions.

At some point, it feels like these thoughts and beliefs become their own “infrastructure.”

There has been a freeing discovery that I don’t have to “buy the building” or “live in it.”

Whether I “live in it” or not, the construction project unceasingly goes on, but it gets easier to find peace and harmony amidst all of the noise as I practice not giving in to the need to “own the building.” It took years to recognize that “moving somewhere else” doesn’t really work as this “construction project” goes on everywhere that I go.

At the same time, there is also an “active demolition” of this infrastructure as thoughts and the energy that fuels them simply move through and come and go as long as I am not in the way of that natural process of creation and destruction.

It has taken a long time for me to realize that I don’t have to own these thoughts and internal reactions as they really aren’t mine at a deeper level and all part of the energy moving through something much more vast than me.

It’s just all part of the dance of life, and it’s so much less personal than I ever dreamed possible.
