You are already there.

From the body-mind perspective, it seems we are travelling on a journey where we hope things will get better and pain will disappear. We get consumed by solving problems and lost in working all of them out: missing the fact that while indeed we deepen in our experiences as we go along, we are navigating a very different map of reality than at first appears.

Personal issues belong to an identity complex which is not the centre of existence. This itself perpetually changes, arises and disappears. Meanwhile we are the space and the backdrop for this phenomenon, where we can even spot the feeling of ourselves from another coordinate on the same map. The 'I' is not fixed and is simply not us - even though it is indisputedly there - and very definitely real.

If that 'me' experience is a small localised point in the great Earth grid of who we are, it never defines or diagnoses us. This then means there is a lot more scope for peace in the midst of challenge and anxiety. The quest starts to melt - restoring much of the painlessness we were seeking. Fear, anger and resistance assume a more perspectivised legitimacy becoming even less detrimental. We find ourselves in a new much deeper territory: another country entirely of spaciousness, resilience, light and pure love.
