TAKE IT OUT OF TIME
If you are in "heartbreak" land.
If your world has crumbled.
[ A huge amount of suffering comes from the friction and “resistance” caused by trying to instantly “get rid” of it]
Give yourself 40 days.
Not to wallow.
Not necessarily to feel awful.
But if you feel awful, give yourself some time to “go there,” as they say. “
Go there” can mean the prior two lessons. There will be lots more offered.
And here’s the idea: LET CURIOSITY AND NOW-CENTERED AWARENESS be the bedrock.
As, oh, I thought such and such and now I feel this and that.
Or, this feeling bad is mainly in my throat. I wonder where specifically it is in my throat. What do I want to say?
Today, my feeling bad is keeping me from getting this done…. I wonder what would happen if I did my tasks anyway.
(We’ll have several lessons on all the above).
The point is: treat it like a child that needs patience and curiosity: what’s going on with you? What is it like to be you? And leave time out of it. Give yourself 40 days. After all the goal is to get very close to enlightenment in this time, and that seems worth at least 40 days, don’t you think?
