For many a spiritual path implies a way to peace of mind. "You deserve", the spiritual path traveller argues, "peace of mind all the time!" Well yes, once you are 'there' you can leave in eternal peace, but until then all you really can do is to contemplate how to get 'there'. How do you surrender to the Tao? How do you open yourself up to the new world that wants to meet you? Perhaps the pressure you experience reminds you of how full you still are of that force that you do not want to associate with. Recognize this force while the temperature is rising and you actually can experience peace right here and now. Once you feel resistance know that this doesn't have to be so. Welcome the pressure cooker!
Professionally, I happen to work with financial markets and can recommend this job to any spiritual path traveller out there. Boy, this job keeps you humble! You feel tiny compared to these apparently incomprehensible forces that drive the markets. Never ever can you really claim success in your investment strategies because the next day already you can be caught on the wrong side of the trade. As you understand that you are drifting in a tiny boat in a giant ocean, there is suddenly freedom and calmness. Embrace the Tao moment by moment and the ego will have nothing to cling onto.
