Torei-calligraphy: Mu
Living based on goals is to live in the future for the future. That is: for something that does not exist. Live for nothing. Today there is an epidemic in the world of desire for achievement. Many feel they need to invent your goals for being evolves. Identify changes with the movement, not just with movement, also with the defined direction of that movement. However, the goals are illusory horizons. The desired goal change continuously, and to be reached is not the same as it wanted to achieve. Nor is he so wished and the same person. Therefore not achieved what was thought. Not achieved anything. Walks, visiting happenings, appearances are living, and guided by the desire we marvel at what happens, impossible to predict. Children play and run without knowing why or where. The desire is an end in itself. Not imagine a profit. Living is the prize. Be alive and running, and jumping and playing. Adults, and stupefied by this "education" designed for machines that meet preset programs have a chip implanted in his stomach that makes it shrink if you deviate from your planned route before leave. Children are taught the value of studying to pass an exam, not to feel the joy of learning as they learn what they want, not for the pleasure of feeling more and more breadth of meaning in them, to expand their consciousness. Adults fools and sadists, offer their children in sacrifice at the feet of their family trees, faithful to the family lie. Unwitting victims of his own murder, revenge and perpetuate diverted stupidity. The test is this world that adults have created the very adults who are complaining about the irresponsibility and selfishness of their children. Undeterred. Without dislodging their heads in shame. The main problem of children their parents and teachers. Have become the adventure of learning in a castration, an ablation, a skinning, brainwashed, forced imposition of obsolete data and no orders, one to forget the deeply creative wisdom with which we are connected @ s from before the beginning. If what matters is a future consideration, an assessment, a trial, this becomes a constant stress. And the present disappears calm and satisfied. Is this sick system that has driven out of paradise, and so far we have contributed without question.
a wave of gurus effectively take advantage of this educational paradigm, and teach how to set and achieve goals. It may be a misinterpretation of some of his followers, who do not see it simply as a tool to provide for concrete and specific things, or maybe it's a tactical approach to these gurus to reach deeper into the psyche and attract more acolytes but through them many people associate the ability to achieve goals of being happy. So the world is full of people satisfied with his collection of achievements, as if they were trophies of a high school athlete, or the photos that a climber addict is done at each summit, people who choose this path of self-affirmation and feel, without However, a disturbing gap they do not understand, and trying to fill over and over again, setting new goals, to avoid having to stop and look in the mirror. Living continuously in the future. Nowhere. They sacrifice the present, sometimes doing things that would not at that time only because they believe they are necessary steps to achieve the planned stadium course. They confuse what they call "ability to delay reward" to the slaughter, and not honoring the present. A life forever postponed.
conquistador Mired in this archetype, it is normal to feel a deep anxiety when even we name our goal. We feel a duty to have a "vocation" to know what we "do in life. "The question is infectious spread dissatisfaction with the world. In it, we call" vocation "to a label that chain us. Unknown to seek a mold, a cage to live, when uncertainty is the natural state and inevitable things, beauty is always new in the world.
think do not know what you want in life because you think the goal, not as a road. As the unconscious "really" who guides us, we will never know what we wanted to do in life until we did. Only an ex post analysis, inert. Because no matter what we wanted do but go about doing what we want from moment to moment. The road is what guides us in mysterious ways. Your consciousness can not choose. You can only Irlo des-covering. Think not knowing what you do in life, you know. all know what we want and what we do not feel like every moment. Without duties and obligations autoimpongamos us, we know. And what we feel like now is what life wants to do. Desire is the sign from the universe, its instrument to lead us to ourselves. If you want several things at once and we can not decide, we can draw lots or merge in some or all of these things, or do several at once if we meet separately. What matters is never do anything but wish. If we feel need to stop, or block, to elucidate our desire, that is the wish of the moment: standing. The time you can not lose, because you can not lose an illusion. Now I write you this letter. Now that is my only vocation. Not being a "writer." That does not mean anything. But I know that I write this. What do you want now? If not read me, stop them immediately and do something that you want. If you read me, this is your calling now. This're called, can not you see? The only thing you can spend your life with joy is to make your wish, to develop it as he pulls a thread little by little without knowing where leads you. No targets or vocation rather than the now continuous. Lately I've been asked a lot how to find out what to do in life. The answer is simple and profound at the time: Doing. If you like to do something, do it. Wait to see what is what "you like to do" is an excuse for not doing something you enjoy doing, or to continue making terrified @, which you do not like.
heart A lucid reader wrote me a beautiful letter recently. He tells me how, just when he has decided to stop for a time to discover what to do with his life, his mother has fallen very ill. So his focus has changed, and decided to go to care, to cradle her and hug her as his mother did with her child. But while it is clear that this is what she wants most right now, not to give up his search, and asks me, I understand how to combine both things: transfer to the other, and the delivery itself. But both deliveries are the same: After surrendering to the desire to care for her mother comes unwittingly herself deeply. There is no separation. There is no dilemma. That is your true calling now, newly found: caring for his mother. Taking care of your home, go to your home, to their roots. If it delivers all this, at that time, there will be face to face with what you want from then, from his birth, and that basically has always gone with her. What can not be achieved. The only thing anyone can spend really, whatever you do in your life. What IS.
In everything you want to do your true vocation is implied. The vocation is something to what you're calling, and desire is the sacred instrument and amoral that the universe used to call you. , there is an activity you should find. Your vocation is beyond any activity you can do. It is the story that you discover, whatever you do, whatever you may think, feel what you feel, want what you want, what you have. T or vocation is to follow that inner voice, but do not know where it leads, though you seem to lurch or stand still in the eyes of those who judge, or your own eyes, to be judged. Nobody knows where it goes. Some think they know, but nobody knows. Do not go anywhere except where you have always been. If you think you have a goal because that goal is already in you and no one taught you to know. Achieve something is un-cover for you always. The Zen masters of archery know that, once the goalkeeper becomes the target, the arrow does not reach the target, but it is already there. No way. No difficulties or obstacles, or process. The arrow and the target are one. No achievement and success. Only consciousness.
The goal is already achieved since you were born, just because you were born. A vocation is a mystery that leads you beyond any opinion about your life, and any will. So forget about those concepts absurd, and simply do what matters. Do what you want. Now.
