Playful pretending

[Guest guest]

From time to time, notice how your periods of

great spiritual insights and clarity are often

followed by periods of great spiritual doubt and

confusion, and that these seemingly opposite

states fluctuate randomly back and forth

throughout your entire life.

 

The ever-growing possibility of " no-thing-ness "

will compel you, again and again, to lose your

focus. In order to continue your playful pretending,

you pull back at the very last moment and sabo-

tage yourself from full awakening.

 

But, in truth, you¹re only playing with your Self.

 

Have you ever watched how a cat first catches

Šand then seems to carelessly releaseŠthe

same mouse, again and again?

 

First the cat has itŠand then he pretends that

he doesn¹t have it. Again and again.

 

Likewise, you seem to have " IT. "

 

And then, you pretend that you don¹t have " IT. "

 

ButŠit¹¹s all really OK.

 

After all, nobody wants a good movie to end.
