     There's an easiness to the day after spiritual awakening.  The stresses which we have attached to everything dissipates.  We have allowed them to do so.  We have no reason to grasp them any longer.      The events and people of the day come and go, without expectations of how they should be.  Easy interact, easy disengage at every moment.  The next events and people will soon flow past as well.  Here it comes.  Now it's gone.  No big deal. All difficulties were only in our minds.  Our minds did the clinging to misery.  What is easy and enjoyable to you here and now?  Do that.  Let your mind wonder in the present.

Not wanting is a form of desire. What you grasp for is the same as what you push away. Suffering is an urge to gain what we lack. Suffering is a need to be rid of something. Only a false self can have things added or subtracted. No Self has no possessions. No Self has no lack. No Self cannot comprehend "not enough". No Self can never have too much. Peace has no concept of itself.

Separate things are invented by human minds. Interconnection does not accept our opinions. False divisions equal our anxieties. Retreat and melt Into peace and sanity.

The self comes into being and jumps into incarceration. "I believe"... bang! The cell door closes. "I must have"... click!  The lock engages. "I don't want this!"  The self lies down on its cot. We must realize the self is the prison and the guard. Leave it all behind for the herenow parole.

Open to a mild anticipation The near future flows in Unfolding, the moment is gone again What is there to grasp? Why torture ourselves in past and far futures?

The release of the self might imply no individual soul exists. Fractals imply infinite information within finite boundaries, all connected. Infinite within and infinite without seems a better description of reality and experience.
