No Destination

In the mind we may have this idea of finally arriving somewhere, being done, and achieving a sense of completion, whatever that means to us… but that sense of lasting and ultimate completion can never actually be achieved in this world.

Let’s look at this from both the perspective of the relative and the perspective of the absolute and see why this is the case.

Relative Destination

From the perspective of the relative, you are always expanding, always growing, always becoming aware of more of the infinite. As Abraham says, you can never get it done. Despite the temporary feeling of success at the achievement of any goal, no matter how much success you have, there’s always a desire for more, a natural part of the unfoldment of creation.

As is often said, life is about the journey, not the destination, for we spend 99.9999% of our time on the journey and whatever’s left at our destination… only to have a desire for yet another destination and so we leave our previous destination.

No matter how enlightened or conscious we become, dead or alive life still goes on, and we still do our stuff.

Absolute Destination

From the perspective of the absolute, you can never “get there” because you’re already there. You’re here, right now, and this is it. This moment. How can you possibly arrive where you already are? How can you arrive to a place you never left? From the perspective of the absolute, you can never “get to your destination” either.

It’s simple.

More More More

There is no destination you can ever reach and be “through” with your journey. You can never get to the end of infinity.

Even if you were to get fully enlightened and to realize there exists nothing beyond this moment, there may or may not be more love you wish to bring into this world, more nothingness to be, more enjoyment of the Self to be had, more people to help awaken, or whatever else creatively flows through this unique presence that you are.

Even if you die, there’s more lives to experience, and perhaps even other realities outside of this Earth to experience. Who knows?

Living Life Now

It’s not about finally arriving anywhere ultimately, but about walking the path right here, realizing you’re already here, and yet strangely walking a path anyways by allowing life to unfold as it does here and now.

It’s kinda like walking an eternal treadmill, transforming the energy all around us and giving us the appearance of things changing, but we never literally go anywhere.

We never get “there.” Ever. There is nowhere else to go. There is simply the living of life, here and now.

The paradox is that it is only by seeing through the false idea of “getting there” and letting go of ever trying to “get there” that we finally get the experience of “being there.”

The energy of “trying to get there” only creates more experience of “trying to get there and not actually being there.” When we let go of that energy, we “magically” find ourselves right here.

The notion of finally arriving somewhere in the future is simply a product of the egoic mind and actually doesn’t have much, if any, rooting in how this thing called life actually works. The destination is the carrot on the stick. Quit running after it. It’s not gonna run away from you if you stop running.

Life is about the journey, not the destination.

Being Present

It’s not about getting somewhere by reading this post, but about the experience of reading this post itself. The reading and writing of this post IS the point of this post. Experiencing creation. The post itself is the point of this post. It’s about the experience of this post, not where this post actually takes us, wherever that may be, such as closer to enlightenment or whatever.

This is the whole premise of “being present” or “being in the now.”

We may try to “be in the moment” thinking that this spiritual practice will make us more conscious or help us achieve a goal called enlightenment.

Baloney!

Being in the moment IS the point! Keep it simple! There is no goal that conscious awareness is really trying to help you achieve, although the mind may see it this way.

It’s when you really toss out that whole notion of trying to get anywhere that you find yourself automatically in the moment and amazingly exactly where you were “trying to get” in the first place.

This moment. This is it. There is no destination outside of this moment. Really. Truthfully. Honestly.

Stop the search for anything outside of this moment. You’ll never get there in time. Be here. Be now. Be yourself.

Love.
