a deep level, you are the knower of reality. Doubt is a symptom indicating that you aren t in contact with
the knower inside. It usually means that you are looking outside yourself when you have to make a
choice. Your decision is going to be based on externals. For most people, the strongest externals come
down to what other people think because fitting in is the path of least resistance. But fitting in is like
embracing inertia. Social acceptance is the lowest common denominator of the self it s you as a social
unit rather than you as a unique person. Find out who you really are; let fitting in be the last thing on your
mind. Either it will happen or it won t, but in either case you will be in no more doubt about yourself.
There is no formula for removing doubts because finding the knower inside is personal. You have to be
committed to expanding your awareness. Don t be in doubt about that one thing. If you turn inward and
follow the path that leads to your inner intelligence, the knower will be there waiting for you.
Seeing the possibilities:It would be much easier to let go of outcomes if every choice turned out well.
And why shouldn t it? In the one reality there are no wrong turns, only new turns. But the ego personality
likes things to be connected. Coming in second today is better than coming in third yesterday, and
tomorrow I want to come in first. This kind of linear thinking reflects a crude conception of progress.
Real growth happens in many dimensions. What happens to you can affect how you think, feel, relate to
others, behave in a given situation, fit into your surroundings, perceive the future, or perceive yourself. All
these dimensions must evolve in order for you to evolve.
Try to see the possibilities in whatever happens. If you don t get what you expected or wished for, ask
yourself, Where am I supposed to look? This is a very freeing attitude. On some dimension or other,
every event in life can be causing only one of two things: Either it is good for you, or it is bringing up what
you need to look at in order to create good for you. Evolution is win-win, which we can say not out of
blind optimism but once again by referring back to the body. Anything happening inside a cell is either
part of its healthy operation or a sign that a correction should take place. Energy is not expended
randomly or on a whim to see how it turns out.
Life is self-correcting in just this way. As the choice-maker you can act on a whim; you can follow
arbitrary or irrational paths. But the underlying machinery of consciousness doesn t alter. It keeps
following the same principles, which are:
" To adapt to your desires
" To keep everything in balance
" To harmonize your individual life with the life of the cosmos
" To make you aware of what you are doing
" To show you the consequences of your action
" To make your life as real as possible
Because you have free will, you can ignore these principles entirely we all do at one time or another.
But you can t make them deviate. Life depends on them. They are the ground of existence, and even as

your desires come and go, the ground of existence is unchanging. Once you absorb this truth, you can
align yourself with any possibility that comes your way, trusting that win-win is the attitude that life itself
has been taking for billions of years.
Finding the stream of joy:My fancy was caught by an episode in the adventures of Carlos Castaneda
when his master Don Juan sends him to a witch who has the ability to adopt the perception of any
creature. The witch allows Castaneda to feel exactly like an earthworm, and what does he perceive?
Enormous exhilaration and power. Instead of being the tiny blind creature that a worm appears to human
eyes, Castaneda felt like a bulldozer pushing each grain of dirt aside like a boulder; he was mighty and
strong. Instead of feeling like drudgery, the worm s digging was cause for elation, the elation of someone
who could move mountains with his body.
In your own life there is a stream of joy that is just as elemental and unshakable. A worm knows nothing
but itself, so it cannot deviate from the stream of joy. You can disperse your awareness in every
direction, and by doing so distract yourself from the stream. You won t really let go of your self-image
and your restless mind until you feel, without question or doubt, a palpable joy in yourself. The renowned [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
