Objective Path VS. Direct Path

OBJECTIVE PATH  – The Path of Imitation & Vain Imaginings – the perpetual loop of pain & suffering.

1^st Resistence – (“I don’t like” experience)

Identification with a separate self (& its objects in space) perpetuates feelings of lack

Identification with a separate self (& its activities in time) perpetuate feelings of fear

2^nd Resistence – (ego remedy)

Avoid an object or activity in time & space in order to escape intolerable feelings

Seek & temporarily acquire an object or activity in time & space that appears to bring those intolerable feelings to an end.

THE DIRECT PATH – The Path of Understanding & Love – the final end to the addictive activity of ‘keeping the distance’ from knowing the reality of intolerable feelings

I am Awareness ItSelf, the Knowing with which I know experience.

I lovingly and understandingly acknowledge and accept all feeling experience known in my awareness. I understand that it appears & disappears within me and I remain as Myself; Knowingly. Intolerable feelings only ‘seemed’ intolerable because I believed I knew something other than Myself, and so I had continually re-enforced a distance between Myself and the experience of Myself through the cycle of addiction: feeling-avoiding-seeking-acquiring.

I only know the Peace & Happiness of Knowing when I knowingly bridge that distance between Me and my intolerable feeling experience. I knowingly give My own stamp of approval on all experience, because I am the Knowing with which all experience is known.

I only know the intimate knowing of direct-experience, and this knowing is known by Me and as Me. I am only ever experiencing MySelf alone. I love MySelf. I welcome and invite all experience equally and completely, because I am MySelf, being MySelf. It is the knowing with which I know MySelf. I am Love, Understanding & Beauty ItSelf.
