Now or Never

J. Krishnamurti used to say that you either understand the trap of your mind here and now, or you never will. We have the hope that we will experience enlightenment, the hope that we get wiser, the hope that we connect more and more with our True Self and understand better and better the short-comings of our ego. Perhaps this voice in our head, this hope, is exactly what is holding us back. If we understand now the siren song of this voice, we may actually have a shot to perceive the Authority behind everything here and now.

I am a Tao traveler, I live my spiritual life based on external signs that I receive. What I have observed is that you either are connected to this Devine threat in your life or you are not. There is no in-between. There is no almost pregnant. When you are not connected, find out what interference is holding you back, because the inviting hand of the Tao is always there. In the same vein, when you experience love and connectedness, enjoy! But when you feel the hope, the good feeling in your belly that you are working towards something, please stop right there and analyze that trap. Wake up here and now or wander aimlessly forever.
