Hi All,

Thank you to those who responded to my last post. The laughter and

revelations are continuing to bubble up, making life incredibly joyful.

While the insights that are arising help me "understand" many of

non-duality's main principles, I don't feel so much like I'm gaining

knowledge as that my resistance to what is, is lessening. Every revelation

feels more like a letting go, a relaxing into openness. The beliefs that

I've clung to and which have kept me from being fully present in the moment,

are giving way with ease and grace.

The latest revelation: True healing isn't accomplished by healing the story

of my life, but by letting go of the story of my life. I've often looked to

my past to try to figure out what is causing me to be fearful or stuck or

ill. It seemed that addressing and understanding my past was the road to

releasing blocked energy. Therefore, the idea of giving up the mind, with

its ability to explore the past, seemed to be condemning me to suffer the

effects of the past without being allowed to correct or heal them. But last

night I realized that the only thing that this psychological excavation work

accomplishes is the rewriting of the story of my life, while the real

healing comes from letting go of the story of my life. Without being subject

to a story, my body, actions and circumstances will follow their natural

course, whatever that may be. This isn't a new healing technique. It's not

about--now I can heal my problems by letting go of my story. Rather, it's

simply--now I can relax and let go of my need to control things.

Last night, after recognizing my attachment to someone, I started to think,

"now I can let go of her." But instead, it came out, "now I can let go of

me." Not wanting to let go of Julie has always been the biggest resistance.

But Julie is crumbling. I can feel the resistance to letting go of "her"

giving way rapidly.

Tonight's revelation was simply a recognition that there's a mountain of joy

within me, waiting for permission to be. My response: permission granted.

Namaste,

Julie

All paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.
