It is as relevant a question today, seven years later. AND it makes sense to all of us. Doing more is not an end point. In fact, I have walked through this lesson repeatedly as a soul and all I can say is that the primitive instinct to Do rather than to Experience is the source of much suffering. <br /><br />In fact, I would argue that we do and get busy in order to avoid feeling lost. If our lives are predictable and our behavior, reactions, ups and downs are mostly predictable according to the people and core values of our lives, we avoid experiencing a lot of uncomfortable feelings.<br /><br />If you are interested in reading about this idea, I highly recommend you read, The Untethered Soul. I just re-read it over the weekend. Author Michael Singer is truly gifted and penetrates many complex cultural veils that we presume to be law in our lives. Reading the book takes courage but you may see yourself (I did/do) in the pages. From there, small shifts in consciousness -- an improved ability to perceive "doing" at face value -- becomes less anxiety-provoking.<br /><br />As the famous saying goes, it is possible to wander without being lost. It takes practice and a friend.

Sometimes it takes a while before I see that my kids want me to teach them how to do less not more (if that makes sense to anyone).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
