Rebecca, I was pleased to see your post. I appreciate you expressing the point when we say, “I can’t take it any more” and is the point of transformation. The last few days I have worked at not being lost or swept away in my emotional reactions. There is this connection with truth, sometimes painful experiences and realizations, yet I allowing peace to find my suffering and experiences worthwhile. This day, I am realizing by not attaching an identity to my suffering experiences, is this profound stillness. There is no accomplishment or a source of doing or even dividing my experiences into different categories. This stillness is a self, empty, yet paradoxically everything. Maybe it is the point my identity becomes Beingnness and there is nothing to prop up here. Maybe this stillness is Divine awareness, rather than my projects and preoccupations of my personality around my suffering.
I just want you to know your writings are offering confidence to rest in hope and it feels like this place to cease my agendas and projects. I never new stillness could offer such Hope and becomes everything. I am just touching this awareness, suffering moving into stillness. I want to thank you for your awareness and writing, which helps my awareness to be in stillness and rest in Hope. Your presence touches me and your presence is deeply significant
