Why I quit my job


The boss is telling me what to do.  
Her mind wants to direct my body to get things done.
Not even my mind gets to direct my body.
My body directs itself.  My body is always where its supposed to be.
My mind follows my body and not the other way around.
My body feels heavy when the mind is in charge.  It won't carry illusion.

I couldn't tell them the real reason for quitting my job because they don't understand this paradox:

Do nothing and accomplish everything.  (Tao Te Ching, translated by S. Mitchell).

Society still believes that working hard is the road to success, which creates a very small world, one in which they can be in control.  In their world of illusion it is insane to do nothing and therefore they would label me insane if they knew what is driving me.

In the world of illusion that which is sane appears insane and that which is insane appears sane.  On my road to sanity I see these things and I don't get sucked into living the patriarchal way.

The force in the world of illusion is ignorance, it will sweep you away.  The force of stillness carries great wisdom.

I live in space


99.99% is empty space and only .01% is matter.  But people live as if 99.99% is matter because their fearful minds keep them incredibly busy.  They don't perceive that there is that much space.  They are being pounded by their mind continually.  

The body is always in the present moment but the mind is all over.  There is incongruency, the body and mind aren't lining up and that's why lives are messy.  The mind forces the body to rush around and the body doesn't put up with it and will make you sick.

I always go inside first before I go out.  We were forced to go out first and were never allowed to go inside.  Learning to go inside is painstaking, a ride through hell.  Many people don't know that they have to go inside, its a place they don't trust.  Everything in society is geared to keep us from going inside.

Letting go of everything I know about anything


I cannot not do what I am doing.  Another big surprise showed up, I am in sales.  After living in isolation for many years I am back in mainstream society.  I went to get some water and ended up getting a sales job.  Its strictly commission.

Stillness


Society wants me to behave like a dog in heat, out of control, always running. With the introduction of cell phones even more so.   Society is into speed.  They are fast but not vast.  Their fastness slows them down, whereas their vastness would speed them up.

With cell phones people can talk about their problems anytime, anyplace with their friends.  Stillness is a creative power.  Everything is energy.  The moment I speak this vast energy becomes dense and I now have created a problem for myself and it has to show up in my life.  I have made it real.  When people keep discussing their problems they are not solving anything, they are putting a boat anchor on it thus anchoring it into their lives.  Just be still and it will resolve itself because you are not giving it a chance to show up in the physical.
