currently i am realizing that all activities/problems are not mine
that i was never asked to solve problems in the first place!
that i dont solve problems...the problems are solved
and this applies from the simplest things like buying groceries to the more "serious" things (the job, family issues, the future....)
from this understanding the interacting in daily activities becomes fluid and perfect
there is a growing feeling of Trust and Surrender that everything is happening perfectly in the exact timing and exact way

This is prob another case of something that cannot be understood from my usual worldview, like Karl was saying in another thread. My job often consists of solving problems that other people can't solve. I often have to use inner silence to solve them. The silence guides me by putting things in front of my vision. So it is not really "me" solving the problem, but I am instrumental because i choose to follow the silence, and without that it won't get solved. I've never met anyone else in my professions who does that.
So I have that trust and surrender you talk about, as a prerequisite to using the silence, but I don't see how that is not me solving problems. I can get by just fine without doing it, but then it doesn't get done, and people involved go through hell.
That makes me feel like I have to solve the problems because it's so easy for me to do what is so valuable for others. True, the problems would be solved without me, but with much more pain and expense,
like costing a million dollars instead of 500. |

It is you , there is a you, it's just not limited to what you do, or who you think you are. Have a look at the TED lecture that Delara posted, it explains things very well. Enlightenment by having a stroke is maybe a bit more extreme than 20 mins of DM, but you get it when you get it and you don't control that. |

thanks Karl; I will watch that when I find it.
The funny thing is, I don't really care if there is a "me" or not, or who I am, but I know what I have to do while I'm here. |

 Yes, go with the flow. |
