Letting Go...what is this really?
Letting Go...we have all heard this term in one way or another. Sounds simple, but until you know what your attached to, you can't let go. It requires a real earnest look at what thoughts/beliefs you are attached too. You may not recognize attachments at first or you may see instantly what your attached too and don't feel like "letting it go." Very good, that is a truth.
It is through the mind-thought system that we become attached in the first place, we are taught this at a very early age. The concept of "letting go" is often referred to as an unlearning. What is exciting here is that when we seriously inquire into a thought/belief we are attached to, that is creating a certain outcome and we get it, meaning we truly can identify with the original thought that we are attached to that is directly connected to an outcome, in that moment there is an instantaneous (potential) of “letting go” and there arises an opening within you. You feel it, an opening of lightness, like a snail that no longer needs to house itself in the existing shell...free!

Watching... Now
Have you tried the "Now?" Bless you if you got it. I have been trying to be in the "Now" for sometime. I am not being hard on myself for not getting the nirvana "Now." Not long ago I discovered that I had been using the wrong circuitry as my navigator, my ego thought system. Wrong choice to be in the "Now" with, it was an honest search only to discover that "I can't get there from here!" No one can.
Once that was noted, my next step was the watching of myself.... watching myself in action, movement, interactions, quietness & watching my thoughts. Watching from outside of myself at myself (hope this makes sense). Just watching; interactions with others, relaxing, breathing, watching...there comes a sweet quietness when watching. Watching my thoughts as they arise, letting thoughts come up & watching thoughts go, like a rise & fall, expanding & contracting, like an inhalation & exaltation of breath, once a breath happens it's gone unto a new breath, just like my thoughts, one thought preceding another, here one moment gone the next...anew. The difference this time is that I watch everything about myself and there is a space to be, freely uninterrupted. This watching lets me be free from attaching to my thoughts, giving thoughts no attention to fire up with a judgment or analyze regardless of how important my mind thinks the thought is, no matter if my mind thinks it is a brilliant thought or an urgent "pay attention" thought, I can let each thought be, like a breath in & out, rising & falling when I am watching, I do not let thought interrupt the "Now." I am not a thought.

"Awakening" seems to have layers for me, each one an "aha" each one more freedom...
There is such truth when one turns and deeply thanks each past experience
And there is a deeper truth when one turns and lets go of all past experiences as identity
Then there is no turning only life expressing life through you & you are you, independent but not separate!
Love
Suse
