Expectation's discontent

A tree in Chellah

What impedes logic? Could it be our inability to accept what is? We seem to be perpetually trying to change what is into something we think should be. When we attentively look at this movement, the neurosis spinning our thought patterns can actually be seen. We're caught up in our worlds, caught us in our stories being dragged by the dragon through time.

In attentiveness we can see this world is our projecting consciousness, our accumulative past regurgitating our replays of discontent. We can see our expectations are forever recreating more future, alas, contentment always one step away like the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow. But in our desperate hurry cloaking our denials, we are too busy to listen.

And with all our technologies yoked to this accumulating mess, we seem to be running out of time. Have you noticed it in the world around you? Have you noticed it in yourself? What is the answer? Well, the only escape from a nightmare is to wake up!

Stillness is the way home. Look in stillness at your world spinning round you, a world of expectation's discontent spinning out more time. Just look in silent awareness. Allow reality to see.

​Where is self in this seeing? Ah ha! Get behind me self, discontented dragon of time!
