Do what you think you need to do, but any doing is actually an undoing because it keeps the mind in an engulfing story, and as long as the mind is doing the view will never be clear…
It may be better if you did less in your life if what you are doing is putting your mind in an engulfing state; only when the engulfing stories stop will the mind be clear. When the mind is in an engulfing state, it becomes stirred up and it’s very difficult to see what’s really happening. This engulfing can be identified as what you think is needed to make you complete; you see when the mind is settled, the view is clear. When the mind becomes stirred up it becomes engulfed and all kinds of stories are created about what’s needed to make you complete. Reading another book may be used, another 12 step meeting, another person to help, losing another pound, more money, and on an on. So many things are used that cause an engulfed mind; the truth is nothing is needed because you’re as complete as you will ever be right now; in the clarity of a settled mind is completeness.
Engulfing stories are created because of the conditioning that’s in place. Clarity will never be as long as one thinks there is something needed to do that will make you complete. Doing only keeps the engulfed mind from settling; the more one does the more engulfing there is. Do whatever you think you need to do, but understand there will never be clarity until there’s no more engulfing stories. Be the light, be the instrument to spread love, be whatever you want, but this doing is actually an undoing because it keeps the mind in an engulfed state, and as long as engulfing stories are created, the view will never be clear…
