What is the difference between the request: βI hope I will make the right decisionβ and βI hope the decision that I will make is good for me and othersβ?
One is a humble prayer that recognizes the interdependence of all things, the other is an expectation that leads to blame and disappointment.

The being you most want to be, my dear, is right in front of me.
Behold yourself, in this moment.
Stop thinking about it. You are not a thought.
Stop searching for yourself, because you are already here.
Only now can you feel and experience yourself, not later.

If the present experience is what we are seeking as seekers, then there is nothing to do anymore.
Why?
Because the present experienceβ¦
- is already happening
- is already present
- can therefore not be found
- cannot be explained
- is here
- is now
- cannot be not
- is everything there ever is

My dear,
you don't have to protect yourself from your emotions.
They are already here and you are taking no harm.
Just see that. Experience it directly.
Get to know your inviolability.

Give yourself fully to the authentic present decision-making of your body's intuition.
In this very moment.
How does it feel to be so free?

What, today, made life worth living today?
What, in this moment, makes life worth living?
Just look.
Who you truly are in this very moment will bring you what you need.
Trust that deeply or go back to inauthenticity.

My love,
You didn't come into this moment right now so that you have to be a certain, obligated way right now.
You came into this very moment so that you can be who you actually are right now.
Namely, yourself.
In this moment, you are endlessly you.

Be like the river:
Liberated of its past
Unconcerned about the future
Authentic in its present decisions
Infinitely flexible and spontaneous
Energetic by nature
Only truly as it is in this very moment
Already free
Be like the river. Flow.
The layers of repressed emotions:
Core: the actual present emotion itself
Protective shell: the quite real impression that itβs βimpossibleβ to feel it
The shellβs causes:
2: ignorance that this is true
1: the mindβs idea that discomfort is βunacceptableβ
0: the mindβs idea of a vulnerable self
Do not trust your thoughts too much.
They only know the dead past and the still unknown future (pure imagination).
You, however, my love, You know the bright-shining reality of this moment!
The emptiness of resistance creates the fullness within you.
And nothing wrong with the truth of it.
Go to pure, unconditional reception of your present emotions
Let go of the role as their repressor
Let go of the role as their creator
Let go of the role as their manager
Be the inviolable, silent receiver who doesn't even have to react, cause the need to react is just imagined
Itβs just not true
Birds
waking up
in the night.

Just be glad when your emotions finally bubble up into consciousness.
Then they are finally free.
