Remember that "There is no spoon"

This takes constant reminding myself, and constant practice. There is no self, no ego, no birth, no death, only mental formations and perceptions.
I went on another wonderful retreat this past weekend.
One step closer to ‘realization’... but a lifetime of putting it into practice :)

Remembering that there is no spoon is about taking another step towards knowing the truth. It’s part of the journey. I know I’m not there yet so I’m leaving this on my list for now…but I think it’s close!

Watch the movies…

“Everything in our life exists because we have created it. Every situation. Every relationship. Every thought and therefore every feeling is truly a figment of our imagination because our imagination is what brought them into reality. So we have complete control over our life. We are empowered.
If we think about all the good stuff we want in our life, we attract it to us.” – Gypsy

I feel that in order to complete this goal….I might just have to understand what its talking about. I mean if there isn’t a spoon, there will only be forks and knives. How am I suppose to eat my soup? lol

It is only yourself.

This really is subjective. I see it as letting myself get past what I think something represents, and making it something new. Perhaps to stop seeing people as strangers, but rather as an opportunity to meet someone new.

What else could ordinary things be?

...I feel good about believing that I have this goal down as a part of my inherent character.

So really, I’m good with it…

I’m sitting here with my soup, and the spoon isn’t there. Now what am I supposed to do?

“It is at least possible that there is an all-powerful evil demon who is deceiving me, such that he causes me to have false beliefs, including the belief that there is a table in front of me and the belief that two plus three equals five,”

-Descartes

I think that mine enjoys seeing me chase my tail.
