Episode notes
Awakening is Not Arriving
- There's no arriving at awakening; it's not a destination or a state of permanent bliss.
- Awakening is about losing the ability to run from the present moment, not reaching a finish line.
Stop Imagining Future Awakening
- Stop imagining a future where you're awake; to end suffering, quit trying to end suffering.
- This focus on a future state distracts from the present moment and fuels the cycle of suffering.
Avoid Over-Planning Awakening
- Avoid excessive preoccupation with maps and processes of awakening.
- Focus on letting go of the desire to create a different reality than the present moment.
